8 short questions. Everything stays confidential.
Ready to see a cash offer for your rental?
Built for landlords who are done
Sell the rental without the usual turnover circus.
We buy with tenants in place
No eviction, no waiting for a lease to end, no turning it vacant. We take the property occupied and handle the tenants after closing.
Problem tenants? Still fine
Non-paying, month-to-month, or a tenant you have struggled with for months? We factor it into the offer and still buy.
Skip the turnover costs
No make-ready, no fresh paint, no new flooring between tenants. We buy as-is, deferred maintenance and all.
No commission, no listing
Listing a rental means showings around tenant schedules and a 5 to 6 percent commission. Sell direct and skip every bit of it.
Selling a rental property: your real options
When you are ready to get out of the landlord business, there are really three ways to sell, and they trade off speed, price, and hassle very differently.
Sell with tenants in place to a cash buyer
This is the fastest and least disruptive route. You sell the property occupied, the lease transfers to the buyer, and there is no turnover, no showings, and no vacancy. You give up some retail upside in exchange for speed and zero hassle. This is what we do.
Wait out the lease, then sell vacant on the market
You can wait for the tenant to move out and list the home vacant for top retail price. The catch is the months of vacancy, holding costs, and make-ready work before it even hits the market, plus agent commission when it sells.
Evict, renovate, then list
The most expensive and slowest path, and only worth it in specific cases. Eviction takes time and money, renovation ties up more cash, and you carry the property empty the whole way.
What happens to the lease and the security deposit?
When a rental sells, the lease generally transfers with the property and the new owner steps into the landlord's role. The tenant's security deposit is typically transferred to the buyer at closing and credited, so the deposit stays protected. Deposit and notice rules vary by state, so confirm the specifics with your attorney.
Do the numbers still work if rent is below market or the tenant is behind?
Yes. We base the offer on the property and its actual situation, including below-market rent or unpaid back rent. You do not have to fix the rent roll, raise rents, or chase arrears before selling. We take it as it is.
This is general information, not legal advice. Landlord-tenant law varies by state and city, so please confirm the rules that apply to you with an attorney.
A quick, honest note
Sterling Home Offer is a direct cash home buyer. When we buy a rental with tenants in place, existing leases and tenant rights generally transfer with the property under state and local law, and we take over as the landlord. Nothing here is legal advice, so please confirm your obligations with an attorney. Our offer is non-binding until you sign a written purchase agreement, you can walk away at any time, and we never charge you a fee.
