Tired Landlord
What Tired Landlord means
Being a landlord wears down. Whether you’re dealing with problem tenants, deferred maintenance you don’t want to fund, rising property taxes, or just done with the headache of property management, we buy rental properties for cash. We can purchase with tenants still in place (subject to the existing lease), with tenants who need to be removed, or vacant. No need to evict before sale — we handle that ourselves if necessary.
When this is the right path
Owners of single-family rentals, small multi-family, or short-term rental properties who have decided they no longer want to be landlords. Often have specific tenant or maintenance situations they don’t want to deal with.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to evict tenants before selling to you?
No. We can buy with tenants in place (we step into the existing lease) or we can buy and handle the eviction ourselves after closing. Tell us the situation and we’ll work with whichever scenario fits. Note: state laws on tenant rights vary significantly, so the specifics differ by state.
Can you accommodate a 1031 exchange?
Yes. We’ve coordinated with qualified intermediaries on 1031 exchanges for sellers who want to defer capital gains by rolling proceeds into another investment property. The timing is critical (45 days to identify, 180 days to close on the replacement) — let us know upfront so we structure the closing to fit your exchange timeline.
What about the security deposit and last month’s rent?
At closing, we receive the security deposit and any prepaid rent from you (credited on the closing statement). We then take over responsibility for returning the deposit per state law when tenants eventually move out. The closing statement clearly shows these transfers.
