The Tenant-Occupied Problem is Costing You Money
Most buyers want vacant properties. Evicting tenants in Florida takes 30-90+ days and can cost thousands in legal fees. Meanwhile, you're still responsible for maintenance, property taxes, and insurance.

Real Example
A landlord in Tampa had a tenant who stopped paying rent but wouldn't leave. The eviction process was taking months, and they were losing money every month. We bought the property for $195,000, took over the tenant situation, and the seller was free from the landlord stress immediately.
Common Questions About Selling Your House
How Can I Sell My House Fast For Cash?
The fastest route is selling to a cash buyer or investor. Unlike traditional buyers who need 30-45 days for mortgage approval, cash buyers like FL Home Buyers have the funds ready. We can typically close in 7 days, or on your specific timeline, because we skip the appraisals and bank inspections.
What is the 3-3-3 Rule in Real Estate?
The 3-3-3 rule is a general timeline expectation: 3 days to respond to an offer, 3 weeks for inspections and financing approval, and 3 months to close. When you sell to us, we break this rule—we can often offer in 24 hours and close in as little as 7 days.
What is the commission on a $500,000 house?
In a traditional sale, you typically pay 6% in agent commissions. On a $500k house, that is $30,000 directly out of your pocket, plus closing costs. When selling to FL Home Buyers, you pay zero commissions and we cover the closing costs.
What is the 20% rule in house flipping?
Investors often aim for a profit margin of around 20% after repairs to account for market risk. This helps determine the Maximum Allowable Offer (MAO). We are transparent about our numbers—we factor in repairs and a fair margin, often beating national franchise offers because we are local.
What is the 7% rule in real estate?
The 7% rule suggests that closing costs, commissions, and fees will eat up about 7% to 10% of your final sale price. If you sell to a cash buyer, you avoid the bulk of this 7% loss since there are no agent fees and we pay the closing costs.
What is the hardest month to sell a house?
Historically, December and January are the hardest months to sell due to the holidays and buyers waiting for the new year. However, we buy houses year-round, even during the holidays, so you don't have to wait for the "spring market."
What is considered a lowball offer?
A lowball offer is typically 25% or more below the fair market value (considering the home's condition). We don't lowball. We provide a fair cash offer based on the After Repair Value (ARV) minus the actual costs of construction and tenant management.
