Done Being aLandlord?

We become their new landlord. If they're good tenants, we keep them. If not, we handle the eviction ourselves. Either way, it's not your problem anymore. We don't displace good tenants - that's not how we operate.

Mike is InterNACHI certified (#21032009) — the same training he uses on his home-inspection clients. We do a walkthrough (usually under 30 minutes), and Mike knows exactly what to look for in occupied / tenant-in-place properties. We factor in typical wear and tenant situations into our offers up front. No surprises after closing.

Yes, we buy single-family rentals, duplexes, triplexes, and small multi-family buildings. One tenant or ten tenants, one unit or multiple - we can make an offer on any rental property in Lehigh Valley.

We buy rentals in any condition. Deferred maintenance, code violations, outdated systems - it doesn't matter. Our owner Mike is InterNACHI certified, so we accurately assess repair costs. You won't get lowballed because we're guessing at the work needed.

'Tired landlord' is industry shorthand for an owner who's accumulated enough rental-business friction to make selling feel preferable to continuing. Common signs: dealing with late or non-paying tenants (PA eviction takes 30-90+ days minimum), repair costs eating margin (older Lehigh Valley housing stock means $5K-$30K mechanical surprises), tenant disputes consuming weekends, escalating insurance + property tax, distance from the property (out-of-state owners especially), age (60+ owners frequently exit landlord business as part of retirement). PA inheritance complications can also trigger it — heirs of landlord parents often don't want to inherit the rental business.

Not usually for fixed-term leases. PA Landlord-Tenant Act 1951 (68 P.S. § 250.101) protects tenants through the term of their lease — selling the property doesn't terminate the lease; it transfers it to the new owner. For month-to-month tenancies, PA requires 30-day notice for termination if the lease is under one year, 60-day if over one year. The faster path: sell with tenants in place. Cash buyers like ABE close with existing leases intact (we assume the lease at closing per § 250.512), and you exit the landlord business without going through eviction court (10-30 days of process, $300-1,500 in court costs, no guarantee of timely possession).

If you want vacant possession: wait for the lease to end + 30-60 day market-listing time + 30-45 day closing = 90-180 days total, plus risk if tenant overstays. If you accept selling with tenants in place: an inspector-owned cash buyer (ABE) closes in 7 days from contract. The lease transfers automatically under PA Landlord-Tenant Act § 250.512; the tenant stays put paying the new owner; you exit cleanly. The cash sale typically pays 80-90% of the vacant-possession comparable sale price — the difference is what you'd lose to listing + market time + commission + carrying-costs + eviction risk anyway.

Depends on the buyer. If selling to a retail (mortgage-financed) buyer: yes, lenders require properties be habitable, with functioning electrical/plumbing/heat. Code violations, deferred maintenance, or active citations will kill mortgage underwriting. If selling to a cash buyer like ABE: no. We price the property as-is including known violations, structural issues, deferred maintenance, and tenant complications. Mike walks the property as an InterNACHI Certified Inspector — the offer reflects actual condition, not a guess. The contract price is the closing price; no post-walkthrough revision.
