| List Tenant-Occupied | List on MLS with tenant in place; showings by appointment. | 45–90+ days | Potentially higher on-market price. | Showings & appraisal access; buyer financing risk. |
| Cash-for-Keys | Offer relocation funds for a voluntary move-out. | Varies | Cooperative path without formal eviction. | Budget needed; not all tenants agree. |

FAQs
Do I have to evict the tenant before selling?
Not if we buy it. We routinely purchase occupied rentals and handle the transition with the tenant. If you plan to list to owner-occupants, vacancy may be required.
What if the tenant is behind on rent?
We’ll factor delinquency into our offer and coordinate access respectfully. You can also consider cash-for-keys or notices per your lease and Texas law—consult an attorney for legal steps.
Will you honor the lease?
Yes, we honor valid leases and transfer deposits at closing. We’ll request an estoppel or lease confirmation.
How fast can we close?
Many sales close in 7–14 days once basic documents and access are arranged. Expect a cash offer in 24–48 hours.
Do I need to make repairs or do showings?
No repairs or showings needed if we buy as-is. We keep tenant disruption minimal.
