Sell a Rental Property in Dearborn
Can I sell a rental property with tenants still living in it?
When you need to sell a rental property in Dearborn, you don't have to list it, fix it up, or wait months for a buyer's mortgage to clear. As a local, direct cash buyer in Wayne County, we make a fair written offer on your Dearborn home in its current condition — from West Dearborn, East Dearborn, Springwells and Snow Woods to every neighborhood in between, cover the standard closing costs, and let you pick the closing date.
Yes. We're cash buyers and investors ourselves. We can buy tenant-occupied rentals and take over the current lease. So you don't have to wait for a lease to end, deal with a move-out, or risk an empty unit. We also buy vacant rentals and properties with problem tenants. It's all in as-is condition with no agent commissions.
Local knowledge
Selling a Rental Property in Dearborn
Dearborn's housing ranges from the classic brick homes of West Dearborn to the dense, walkable streets of the east side near Springwells. Many of these homes have been in families for decades and need updating that today's mortgage buyers expect. We buy Dearborn houses in any condition. So you don't have to renovate or stage to get a fair, sure offer.
Dearborn pairs the Ford world headquarters and The Henry Ford with some of the region's most tightly held family neighborhoods. Homes near Springwells and West Dearborn often stay in families for generations. Selling one can mean working with relatives, making updates, and facing a busy east-side market. A direct cash sale keeps it simple. There are no commissions on a high-demand home and no need to modernize before closing.
We buy houses in every part of Dearborn, including:

Sell occupied or vacant — without disrupting cash flow
Listing a tenant-occupied property on the open market is awkward. Showings need notice, tenants may not cooperate, and most regular buyers want the unit empty. That can mean ending a lease or waiting months. Selling to an investor solves this. We honor the current lease, and the tenant simply keeps paying rent to a new owner.
If your unit is vacant or between tenants, even better. We can move fast without the cost of fixing up the unit, re-listing it, or screening new renters just to make it sellable.
Problem tenants and Michigan landlord-tenant realities
Tough tenants, missed rent, or a unit you think needs an eviction make a property hard to sell to a typical buyer. We see these situations all the time and can often buy as-is, taking the tenant issue on ourselves. Michigan landlord-tenant law sets specific notice and process rules. As experienced buyers, we plan for that instead of expecting you to handle it first.
Security deposits, prorated rent, and lease terms are all settled at closing through the title company. That keeps the handoff clean for you and fair for the tenant.
Skip deferred maintenance, inspections, and 1031 timing
Rentals build up repairs that get put off. Many cities also require a certificate of occupancy or rental inspection before a sale or a new tenant. Selling as-is lets you skip repair lists and inspection fixes. We take the property in its current condition.
If you're selling one investment to roll into another, a fast, sure close can help with a 1031 exchange's tight deadlines. We're not tax advisors, so set up the exchange with your qualified intermediary. But our reliable timeline is built for investors who can't afford a deal to slip.

What if my tenant won't pay or needs to be evicted?
We often buy properties with problem tenants and missed rent. We can take that issue on ourselves as part of the purchase. You don't have to fix it before selling.
