Occupied does not mean unsellable
Many investor buyers prefer a property that already produces rent. What they need is accurate paperwork: current lease terms, actual rent collected, deposits held, and any notices in place.
Selling a rental with tenant issues
Rentals stop making sense for ordinary reasons: turnover, repair calls, a non-paying tenant, rent that never caught up with expenses, or simply being done managing it. Tenant-occupied property can be sold without evicting anyone.
California tenant protections stay in force
A sale does not cancel a lease or override state and local tenant protections. Any decision about tenancy belongs to you and your counsel — we do not ask sellers to remove tenants to make a deal work.
How the numbers get built
Rent roll and expenses, deferred maintenance and turn scope, comparable sales and rents nearby, and what a buy-and-hold buyer would pay at a defensible return.
Common questions
- Do tenants have to move out?
- No. Many buyers want the tenancy in place. Any tenancy change is your decision and must follow California law.
- Do you review small multifamily?
- Yes — duplex through small apartment properties, plus single-family rentals.
