Being a landlord in metro Atlanta sounded like passive income — until the 2 a.m. maintenance calls, the missed rent, the turnover costs, and the eviction process that takes months. If you’re done with tenants, toilets, and turnover, you can sell your rental fast — even with tenants still in it.
Yes, you can sell a rental property with tenants in place
This surprises most landlords: you don’t have to wait for the lease to end or go through an eviction to sell to us. We buy tenant-occupied properties regularly. The lease transfers with the sale, and we deal with the tenants after closing — including difficult ones. You collect your money and you’re done.
Situations we buy from tired landlords all the time
Tenants behind on rent or mid-eviction. Property damage from a rough tenancy. Section 8 paperwork fatigue. Out-of-state owners tired of managing from a distance. Inherited rentals you never wanted. Rentals that need more repair money than they’re worth. Landlords who are simply retiring from the game. Whatever the reason, we’ve bought through it before.
The math most landlords don’t do
Add up your real annual cost: vacancy months, turnover repairs, property management fees, insurance, taxes, and your time and stress. Many Atlanta landlords are netting far less than they think — sometimes losing money. Converting the property to cash lets you redeploy into something that doesn’t call you at 2 a.m.

Frequently asked questions
Can I sell if the tenant is behind on rent or being evicted?
Yes. We buy properties mid-eviction and with non-paying tenants. That becomes our problem, not yours.
Do I have to notify my tenants before selling?
Tenants’ lease rights continue with the new owner, and Georgia law doesn’t require their permission to sell. Reasonable notice for any showings is standard — and with us, there are usually no showings at all.
What about the security deposits?
Deposits transfer to the buyer at closing per the lease terms — the title company handles the accounting. Simple.
Will I owe capital gains tax on a rental sale?
Possibly, including depreciation recapture — talk to your tax professional. Some landlords offset with a 1031 exchange into a less management-heavy asset.
