Does this sound familiar?

  • Tenant behind on rent
  • Tenant damage or deferred repairs
  • Owner lives too far away to maintain the rental
  • Month-to-month or long-term lease in place
  • Family member living in the property as a tenant
  • Tenant moving out before closing

Selling With Tenants in Place

Tenant-occupied rentals are a regular part of our business. In Texas, a lease generally remains in effect when the property sells, so we step in as the landlord at closing and assume the existing lease and tenant relationship.

You will not have to manage a series of showings or coordinate repeated visits with your tenant.

Leases and Security Deposits

We request copies of the leases early, since the title company will ask for them, and we confirm before closing exactly what transfers with the property.

Security deposits are credited to us at closing. Under Texas law, the new owner becomes responsible for the deposit, and the former owner remains liable until the new owner has received it.

Pricing a Rental as It Stands

We regularly purchase rentals with late rent, tenant damage, family members in residence, and owners who live out of town. That includes single-family houses, duplexes, fourplexes, townhomes, and condos.

A rental with a problem tenant is worth less to any buyer than a vacant one, and our offer reflects that. We explain how the lease terms, rent, condition, and needed work shaped our price.

We purchase with our own funds, charge no commission, and cover normal seller closing costs.

I was very pleased, I had a rental property that was located too far to maintain. After many renters, the house was in need of much work, I did not have the time for this nor to seek contractors that could be trustworthy. I took a chance on Metroplex Homebuyers after receiving numerous of offers to buy throughout the years. I was very pleased with the ease, and the negotiation process, I believe it was fair and I am completely satisfied with the deal.

Timing and Taxes

We can close with the tenant in place or after move-out on an agreed schedule. Closing can happen in as little as seven days, or on a date that fits your plans.

Capital gains, depreciation recapture, and 1031 exchanges are questions for your CPA. We are not tax advisors, but we can schedule closing around an exchange timeline.

We contacted Metroplex Homebuyers to look at a rent house we owned in Flower Mound that had foundation problems (despite our spending tens of thousands of dollars to get fixed). Within 24 hours, we had a fair offer from Justin that we accepted. Our tenants took a little longer than expected to move out and Justin worked with us every step of the way to ensure a smooth closing. There is another company that made us an extremely low-ball offer and we are very glad we contacted Justin. He is a pure professional looking out for your best interest. If you are thinking about selling a home this way, all I can say is DO IT! We could not be happier!

How it works

The same simple process every seller gets, applied to your situation.

  1. 1

    Tell Us About the Rental

    Share the address, lease terms, rent, condition, and tenant status. We will review the details and flag anything the title company is likely to request.

  2. 2

    Review Your Written Offer

    We price the rental as it stands and explain how the lease, tenant status, condition, and needed work shaped our offer.

  3. 3

    Close and Transfer the Lease

    We close through a title company on the agreed date. For an occupied rental, the lease and deposit transfer to us, and we become the landlord.

Common questions

Can I sell my rental with tenants living in it?

Yes. In Texas, the lease generally remains in effect after a sale, and we take over as the landlord at closing.

What happens to the security deposit when I sell?

The deposit is credited to us at closing. Under Texas law, the new owner becomes responsible for it, and the former owner remains liable until the new owner has received it.

Can we close before the tenants move out?

Yes. We can close with the tenants and lease in place, or schedule closing after they move out.

My tenant is behind on rent. Can I still sell?

Yes. We account for the current tenancy and payment history in our offer, and we take over the landlord responsibilities after closing.

Do you buy duplexes and fourplexes?

Yes. We purchase occupied and vacant duplexes and fourplexes throughout Dallas-Fort Worth, along with single-family houses, townhomes, and condos.

Can you work with my 1031 exchange?

We can set the closing date around your exchange timeline. A qualified intermediary and your CPA should manage the exchange itself.

Metroplex Homebuyers gave us the best price for the house we sold, and honored everything they said they would. In addition, their sales agreement was clear and straightforward. All the staff I dealt with were courteous, professional, and helpful, and the title company they work with was very much the same. Overall, this was a very good experience.

Response from Metroplex Homebuyers

Recommends Metroplex Homebuyers

Metroplex Homebuyers made selling my house an extremely easy and worry-free process! Josh came out quickly and made me a great offer on the spot! By the next day, Brandon had contacted me and was in touch with the title company to ensure that the closing went smoothly. Every time I had a question (and I had LOTS of questions) they answered promptly and thoroughly. They were friendly and appreciative of my business! The title company they work with was also wonderful. A notary even came to my house to make my life easier. The house was paid off and money was in my account the next day! I highly recommend this company to anyone that wants to sell their house quickly and for a great price.
