Problem Tenants or Squatters? I Buy It Anyway.

This is one of the most exhausting situations a property owner can be in. You've got a tenant who stopped paying six months ago, or a family member's friend who never signed a lease and won't leave, or someone who moved in after a sublease you didn't authorize. The eviction courts are backed up. The property is being damaged. Every month you hold this property is costing you money and stress.

I buy properties with active occupancy issues in Virginia and Maryland. That includes non, paying tenants, evictions in progress, unlawful occupants, and squatter situations. I'm not the right buyer for every one of these, the specifics matter, but I've purchased enough occupied problem properties to have a clear picture of what's workable.

How This Works

When I buy a property with an occupancy problem, I take on the responsibility of resolving that problem after closing. That might mean continuing the eviction process in my name, negotiating a cash, for, keys agreement with the occupant, or working through the legal process for unlawful occupants. The mechanism of resolution transfers to me, you're no longer the one managing it.

Virginia's eviction laws and Maryland's landlord, tenant laws create specific procedures that affect the timeline. Virginia's courts have generally moved toward faster processing in recent years. Maryland has stronger tenant protections that can extend timelines. I understand both frameworks and factor the resolution timeline and cost into my offer.

This is not the same as the tired, landlord situation, where a landlord is simply burned out on managing rentals. This page is for the active crisis: the tenant who is there and shouldn't be, or who is there under circumstances that have become untenable. If that's your situation, fill out the form and I'll call you today. Tell me what's happening and I'll give you an honest assessment of whether I can help.
