Being a landlord can wear you out. Late rent, midnight repair calls, turnovers, and the work it takes to get a tired rental ready for a new tenant all add up. If you’re ready to be done, we buy rental houses for cash in Spokane, Coeur d’Alene and the Tri-Cities, as-is, with tenants in place.

Who this is for

  • You own one rental, or a few, and you’re tired of managing them.
  • Your tenant is behind on rent, or the lease runs for months and you don’t want to wait.
  • The rental needs updates before it could be listed, and you’d rather not put more money in.
  • You inherited a rental and never wanted to be a landlord.
  • You’ve moved away and managing from a distance isn’t working.

How we help

You don’t have to wait for the lease to end, ask anyone to move out, or fix the place up first. We buy rentals as-is, with tenants in place. There are no fees and no commissions, and we pay the closing costs.

We’ll make a fair cash offer, usually within 24 hours, and close in as little as 7 days or on the date you choose. If you’re planning around taxes or a future purchase, tell us your timeline and we’ll work with it.

How it works in 3 steps

  1. Tell us about the rental. Fill out the form or call. Share the address, its condition, and the current lease and rent. In the Tri-Cities, we can work from photos.
  2. Get a fair cash offer. We look at the property, the lease and recent sales nearby, and usually make an offer within 24 hours. No obligation.
  3. Close on your timeline. A title company handles the closing, including the lease and deposit details, and you’re paid at closing.

Selling to us vs. listing a tenant-occupied rental

Selling to Backyard Home BuyersListing with an agent
TenantsStay in placeOften need to move out, or work around showings
Repairs and turnoverNone, we buy as-isUsually needed to show well
ShowingsNoneCoordinated around the tenant’s schedule
Commissions and feesNone. We pay the closing costsCommission, plus the seller usually pays some closing costs
PriceA fair cash price for the property as it isOften higher if the house is vacant and updated

If the rental is vacant, updated and you’re in no hurry, listing may bring more. If you want out without the hassle, our offer is worth comparing.

Washington and Idaho notes (general, not legal advice)

Washington and Idaho each have their own landlord-tenant laws, including rules about notice before entering a rental and how security deposits are handled when a property sells. In most cases an existing lease stays in place after a sale. If you’re thinking about a tax-deferred exchange or capital gains, talk with a CPA. For the lease, deposits and notices, confirm with your title company or attorney.

Where we buy

We buy rental houses throughout Spokane and Spokane County, Coeur d’Alene and Kootenai County, and the Tri-Cities.

★★★★★

“My experience working with them has been fantastic. They are honest, transparent, and they walked me through the steps in the process. If you’re looking to sell your house in eastern Washington, this is a great company to work with. There were two properties I was involved in with this company, and both experiences were very positive.”

Rental property FAQs

Do my tenants have to move out before you buy?

No. We buy rentals with tenants in place, so nobody has to move out before closing.

What happens to the lease and security deposit when I sell?

In most cases the lease stays in effect and the deposit is transferred at closing. The rules differ between Washington and Idaho, so confirm with your title company or attorney.

Do you buy rentals that need a lot of work?

Yes. We buy as-is, so you don’t have to fix anything or do a turnover first.

Do I have to tell my tenants I’m selling?

Landlord-tenant laws set rules about notice and entry, and they differ by state. Confirm with your title company or attorney what notice you need to give.

How fast can you buy my rental?

We usually make an offer within 24 hours and can close in as little as 7 days, or on the date you choose.
