See how simple selling your house for cash can be — straight from our team.
You Can Sell a Rental With Tenants Still in It
A lot of Miami landlords believe they’re stuck — that they have to wait for the lease to end or evict the tenant before they can sell. Neither is true. Under Florida law, you can sell a tenant-occupied property at any time. The lease simply transfers with the sale: a fixed-term lease stays in place and the new owner becomes the landlord until it expires.
That’s exactly why selling to a cash buyer like us is often the cleanest exit. We expect tenants. We buy the property with the lease attached, honor it, and take over as the landlord — so you don’t have to evict anyone, wait out a lease, or put your tenants through a parade of showings. You just hand off the property and walk away.
We Don’t Need to Disturb Your Tenants
No open houses. No strangers walking through at odd hours. No asking your tenants to keep the place spotless for months. We assess the property with a single walkthrough (or even virtually), honor the tenant’s right to quiet enjoyment, and handle the lease assignment and security-deposit transfer at closing. Your tenants often barely notice anything changed until they get a friendly note about where to send the rent.
Should You Sell, or Keep Renting? An Honest Look
We’re not going to pretend selling is always the right move — sometimes holding a rental is the smarter play, and we’ll tell you so. Here’s an honest way to think about it.
Selling often makes sense when…
- The rental is cash-flow negative and the gap keeps growing
- Insurance, taxes, or a looming assessment changed the math
- The property needs major repairs you don’t want to fund
- You’re managing from out of state and it’s a burden
- A problem tenant is draining your time and money
- You’d rather have the equity as cash than tied up
Holding may still be smart when…
- The property cash-flows comfortably every month
- You have a reliable long-term tenant paying market rent
- Your mortgage rate is low and locked in
- The building and systems are in good shape
- You value the long-term appreciation and tax benefits
- Management isn’t a burden (or a good PM handles it)
If you’re in the left column, a clean cash sale is probably worth a serious look. If you’re mostly in the right, holding might still be your best bet — and we’ll say so if you call. Either way, you’ll get a straight answer, not a sales pitch.
Cash Sale vs. Evict-Then-List — an Example
A simplified comparison for a Miami rental with a difficult tenant and some deferred repairs.
Path A: Evict, repair, then list
Likely list price once vacant & repaired
$380,000
Eviction + lost rent + vacancy (est.)
−$9,000
Repairs to list-ready
−$25,000
Commission + closing costs (~8%)
−$30,000
Net, ~4–6 months later ≈
≈ $316,000
Path B: Sell to us, tenant in place
Cash offer — no eviction, no repairs, no commission, closes in ~2 weeks
≈ $320,000
Illustrative only — every rental is different. The point: once you subtract the eviction, the lost rent while vacant, the repairs, and the commission, the “list it for more” path often nets about the same as a fast cash sale — but takes months and a lot more hassle. We’ll run your real numbers with you honestly.
Landlord Situations We Buy Around
Whatever’s making you want out, we’ve probably seen it before.
Problem Tenants
Late rent, lease violations, or a tenant you’d rather not deal with anymore? We can buy the property and take the situation off your hands — no eviction required on your end.
Thin or Negative Cash Flow
Rising insurance, HOA hikes, taxes, and repairs eating the rent? When a rental stops making sense on paper, a clean cash exit beats bleeding money each month.
Tired of Managing It
Maintenance calls, turnover, chasing rent — sometimes you’re just done. Especially if you’re out of state and managing a Miami rental from afar, a sale is the simplest way out.
Inherited a Rental
Inherited a property with tenants you never chose? You inherit the lease too. We work with heirs and executors to sell quickly while keeping the tenants undisturbed. See our inherited house page.
Section 8 / Voucher Tenants
We buy properties with Section 8 or voucher tenants in place. The housing-assistance arrangement doesn’t scare us off — it’s just part of the deal we take on.
Rental Facing Foreclosure
Behind on the mortgage on a rental? You can still sell before foreclosure, tenants and all, and protect your credit. See our stop foreclosure page.
Meet David — He’s Dealt With Tenants Too
Hi, I’m David, founder of Sunshine State Buyers. I’m local to South Florida, and I understand the landlord grind — the 2 a.m. maintenance calls, the tenant who stops paying, the insurance bill that turns a decent rental into a money pit. Being a landlord is a real job, and sometimes the smartest move is to be done with it.
My promise is simple: a fair offer, explained honestly — and if holding or listing the property would serve you better, I’ll tell you that instead of pushing you to sell. We handle the lease, the tenant, and the paperwork, so your exit is clean.

A Quick Word on Miami-Dade Tenant Rules
Miami-Dade has stronger tenant protections than much of Florida. Under the county’s Tenant’s Bill of Rights, landlords have to give tenants a notice of their rights when selling, and month-to-month tenancies generally require 60 days’ written notice to end — longer than the state’s standard. Fixed-term leases carry over to the new owner until they expire. None of this has to be a headache for you: because we buy with the tenant and honor the lease, most of these termination-notice issues simply don’t come up. We handle the estoppel, the notice paperwork, and the deposit transfer as part of closing.
One honest note: we’re a home-buying company, not attorneys. For the legal specifics of your lease or a tenant dispute, we’d always suggest a quick word with a real estate attorney — and we’re glad to point you to local ones.
Outside Miami? We buy tenant-occupied rentals across Florida — same as-is, tenants-and-all approach statewide.
Selling a Rental — FAQs
Can I sell my rental if my tenant has a lease?
Yes. You can sell anytime. A fixed-term lease stays in place and transfers to us as the new owner — the tenant keeps their lease, and you’re free of the property. You don’t have to wait for the lease to end or evict anyone.
Do I have to evict a problem tenant before selling?
No. That’s one of the main reasons landlords come to us. You don’t have to go through the eviction process first — we buy the property with the situation as-is and take it from there.
Will my tenants be disturbed by showings?
No. We don’t do open houses or repeated showings. Usually a single walkthrough is enough, and we coordinate it respectfully with proper notice. Your tenants keep their right to quiet enjoyment throughout.
What happens to the security deposit?
It transfers to us at closing along with the lease, and we take over responsibility for it as the new landlord. The title company handles this as part of the closing, so it’s documented properly.
Do you buy multi-unit and Section 8 rentals?
Yes. Single-family rentals, duplexes, small multi-units, and condos — with market-rate or Section 8 / voucher tenants. If it’s a Miami-Dade rental you’re ready to let go of, we’ll take a look and make a fair offer.
How We Calculate Your Cash Offer
The number doesn’t come out of thin air. Every offer we make comes from the same four inputs, and we’ll walk you through all of them.
1. After-Repair Value
What the house would be worth fully repaired and updated — based on what comparable homes near you have actually sold for, not what they were listed at. This is the ceiling, and everything else comes out of it.
2. Repair Costs
What it will genuinely take to get the house there — roof, AC, plumbing, electrical, permits, cosmetics. We price it off real contractor quotes for the work your house actually needs, not a blanket percentage.
3. Selling & Holding Costs
Closing costs and title on both ends, plus taxes, insurance and utilities for every month we own it — and the agent commission we pay when we resell. These are the costs you avoid entirely by selling to us.
4. Our Margin
What’s left is what we make, and it has to cover the risk of buying a house as-is with our own money. It’s a thinner slice than most people expect — we’d rather do more deals at a fair number than a few at a bad one.
Add those together, subtract them from the after-repair value, and what remains is your offer. That’s the whole formula. It’s also why we can buy houses a lender won’t finance — and why, if listing with an agent would genuinely put more in your pocket, we’ll tell you so.
Want to check our math? Pull up three recently sold, renovated homes near you, get a repair estimate, and run the numbers yourself. If our offer doesn’t line up, we’ll say so.
