Tired of Being a Landlord in Washington?

Being a landlord in Washington has gotten harder. Between the Residential Landlord-Tenant Act (RCW 59.18), just-cause eviction requirements, rising maintenance costs, and the constant management burden, many property owners are ready to move on. We buy rental properties directly — with tenants in place if needed — so you can walk away without the hassle of evictions, repairs, or listing.

Short Answer

You can sell your rental property in Washington even with tenants in place. We purchase as-is, handle the tenant situation after closing, and can structure the deal as cash, subject-to (we take over payments), or seller financing (you earn monthly income without management responsibilities).

Signs It’s Time to Sell Your Rental

Negative cash flow — Rent doesn’t cover mortgage, taxes, insurance, and maintenance
Problem tenants — Late payments, property damage, complaints, code violations
Major repairs needed — Roof, foundation, plumbing, or electrical issues you don’t want to fund
Tired of management — Middle-of-the-night calls, tenant turnover, vacancy periods
Regulatory burden — Washington’s tenant protection laws make eviction difficult and costly
Better use of capital — Your equity could be working harder in other investments
Out-of-state ownership — Managing from a distance is expensive and stressful

Why Listing a Rental Property Is Harder

Selling a rental through traditional channels creates unique problems:

Tenants may not cooperate with showings or keep the property presentable
Washington law requires proper notice periods for showings (48 hours minimum)
Occupied properties typically sell for less than vacant ones
You may need to wait for a lease to expire or negotiate a buyout
Eviction timelines in WA can stretch months due to just-cause requirements

We skip all of that. We buy with tenants in place, in any condition, and close on your timeline.

Your Options

Cash Purchase

We buy the property outright. Tenants become our responsibility. You walk away clean.

Subject-To

We take over your mortgage and the management. Your loan stays current, you’re free of the burden.

Seller Financing

Keep earning monthly income from the property without any management responsibilities. We handle everything.

Which Solution Fits Your Landlord Situation?

The right exit strategy depends on your property and tenant situation:

Best option for a rental with problem tenants: Cash purchase with tenants in place — we handle eviction.

If: Problem tenants, code violations, or eviction headaches

Best option: Cash Purchase (tenants in place)

We buy the property with tenants in place. No need to navigate WA’s just-cause eviction requirements (RCW 59.18). We handle it from there.

Best option when you’re tired of managing but have good tenants: Subject-to or seller financing.

If: Good tenants, but you’re done managing

Best option: Subject-To or Seller Financing

We take over payments and management. You stop dealing with maintenance calls and tenant issues. With seller financing, you keep earning monthly income without the landlord headaches.

Best option for a rental needing expensive repairs: Cash purchase — we buy as-is.

If: Property needs expensive repairs you don’t want to fund

Best option: Cash Purchase

Dump the repair burden on us. Roof, foundation, plumbing — we buy as-is and handle it.

Best option for selling part of a rental portfolio: Cash or seller financing across multiple properties.

If: Multiple rental properties and you want to sell some

Best option: Cash Purchase or Seller Financing (portfolio)

We can buy one or several properties. Seller financing across a portfolio creates strong monthly cash flow for you without management responsibilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sell with tenants still living in the property?

Yes. We buy rental properties with tenants in place regularly. The lease transfers with the property. We become the new landlord and handle the tenant relationship from there.

Do I need to evict tenants before selling?

No. Selling to us eliminates the need for eviction entirely. Washington’s eviction process can take months due to just-cause requirements and mandatory mediation in some jurisdictions. We skip all of that.

What if the property has code violations?

We buy properties with code violations, deferred maintenance, and outstanding repair orders. These issues get factored into our offer but don’t prevent a sale.

What about the security deposit?

Tenant security deposits transfer to the new owner at closing. This is handled through the title company as part of the standard closing process in Washington.
