# Done Being a Landlord? I'll Buy It.

**Late rent, broken toilets, and midnight calls. I'll take the whole problem off your hands - tenants and all.**

---

You got into rental property because the numbers made sense. Passive income, appreciation, building wealth. But somewhere along the way it stopped being passive. The 2 AM water heater emergencies. The tenant who's three months behind and still won't answer the phone. The eviction process that drags on for weeks in Maryland courts. The property that needs a new roof you don't feel like paying for. I get it - because I'm a landlord too, and I know exactly when the math stops working.

I buy rental properties across Maryland and Northern Virginia for cash. The tenants can stay in place or they can go - that's entirely your preference, and either way it doesn't change my offer or my timeline. If there's a lease in place, I honor it. If the tenants are month-to-month, I handle the transition after closing. You don't need to have a single conversation with your tenants about the sale.

I don't need showings. I don't need the property to be vacant. I don't need you to fix anything - not the HVAC that's been limping along, not the kitchen from 1985, not the deck that failed inspection. I buy the property exactly as it sits, with whatever deferred maintenance has been piling up. That's the whole point of selling to an investor who renovates for a living.

If you're worried about capital gains, I understand. A lot of landlords I work with have owned their properties for 10, 15, 20 years and the tax hit feels like a reason to keep holding. But carrying a property that's bleeding you dry isn't free either. I'd encourage you to talk to your CPA about a 1031 exchange or installment sale structure - both of which I've facilitated for sellers before. And if you just want to cash out and be done, that's completely fine too.

I also buy entire portfolios. If you have 2 rentals or 20, I can underwrite the whole package and make a single offer. We can close everything at once or stagger the closings across multiple dates - whatever makes the most sense for your financial situation. One conversation, one buyer, one closing table per property, and then you're out of the landlord business for good.

## FAQ

**Q: Can you buy my rental with tenants still living there?**

A: Yes. I buy tenant-occupied properties all the time. The tenants can stay in place under their existing lease, or I can work with them on a move-out plan after closing. Either way, you don't need to deal with any of it - I take over the moment we close.

**Q: What if my tenants won't cooperate with showings or the sale?**

A: I don't need showings. I don't need the tenants to do anything. I can assess the property from the outside, from county records, and from whatever information you can share. Difficult tenants are not a dealbreaker - they're something I deal with every week.

**Q: Can you buy my whole portfolio at once?**

A: Yes. I've bought portfolios of 2 properties and portfolios of 20. I can underwrite the entire package, make one offer, and close everything together - or stagger the closings if that works better for your tax situation.

**Q: Do I need to evict my tenants before selling?**

A: No. You do not need to evict anyone. I buy the property with tenants in place. If the tenants need to go, that becomes my responsibility after closing. You never have to file an eviction, go to court, or deal with the process.
