Done Being a Landlord? Sell Your Rental — Tenants and All.

Yes. Many rental properties are sold with tenants in place. We evaluate properties with existing leases and can factor tenants into the offer and closing timeline.

Not necessarily. Depending on the buyer and lease terms, a property can often be sold with tenants remaining in place.

Non-paying tenants are one of the most common reasons landlords reach out to us. Tell us about the situation and we'll evaluate the property accordingly.

In many cases, yes, though the specifics depend on where the eviction process stands. We can talk through your options once we understand the details.

Notice requirements depend on your lease terms and Florida law. We recommend reviewing your lease and, if needed, speaking with an attorney.

Security deposits are typically addressed as part of closing, often transferring to the new owner or handled according to the lease and Florida law.

Tenant-caused damage is something we factor into evaluating the property's current condition — it doesn't disqualify the property.

An active long-term lease doesn't prevent a sale — it's simply a factor we consider and disclose as part of the transaction.

This is a more complex situation that depends on the specific facts and Florida law. We recommend consulting an attorney about your options.

Yes, properties with Section 8 tenants can be sold. We can discuss how the existing housing assistance arrangement factors into the sale.

The lease generally stays in place and transfers with the property, subject to Florida law and the terms of the lease itself. At closing, we typically request a copy of the lease, rent roll, and security deposit information so this can be handled correctly between the parties.

Common items include a copy of the current lease, rent roll, security deposit amount, and any move-in inspection records. We'll let you know exactly what's needed once we understand your situation.

No. We evaluate rental properties in their current, as-is condition, including normal wear and tear or deferred maintenance.

Yes. Many of our sellers are out-of-state or out-of-country owners. We can coordinate the process remotely, including document signing.

Inherited rentals are common. We can walk you through your options alongside anything specific to inherited property, like title considerations.

Yes. We consider small multifamily properties in addition to single-family rentals.

Code violations are something we factor into our evaluation. Selling directly can sometimes be simpler than resolving violations before a traditional listing.

We can coordinate with your property manager on details like access, lease information, and tenant communication if helpful to you.

Yes. We regularly work with landlords who want to sell one or two properties while keeping the rest of their portfolio.

Possibly, depending on your basis in the property, ownership period, and overall tax situation. We recommend speaking with a tax professional, since we don't provide tax advice.

If you've claimed depreciation on the property, a sale may trigger depreciation recapture, which has its own tax treatment. A tax professional can explain how this applies to you.

Some investors use a 1031 exchange to defer taxes when reinvesting proceeds. This involves specific rules and deadlines, so we recommend discussing it with a qualified intermediary or tax advisor first.

That's common. The existing loan balance is typically paid off from sale proceeds at closing, similar to selling a primary residence.

Typically, yes, until closing. HOA dues and prorations are usually addressed as part of the closing statement.

Outstanding property taxes are common and are typically resolved from sale proceeds at closing, similar to a mortgage payoff.

It depends on your goals. A property manager reduces day-to-day involvement but comes with ongoing fees. Selling removes the property and its obligations entirely.

Rental properties are often evaluated with additional factors in mind, such as current lease terms, rental income, tenant history, and deferred maintenance.

Closing timelines depend on the property, title, and the details of the transaction, including tenant occupancy. We'll work with you on a timeline that fits.

Selling one property generally doesn't affect your other holdings directly, though it may affect your overall tax picture for the year.

Yes. While many of the areas we feature are in South Florida, we consider rental properties throughout Florida.

No. There's never a charge to talk through your rental property situation with us.

Reach out with the property address and a bit about the situation — tenant status, condition, and your goals — and we'll walk you through what's possible.
