Being a Landlord is Exhausting
Tenant problems, maintenance issues, insurance increases, and vacancy risk can turn a rental into a second job. If rent no longer covers the real carrying costs, selling may be worth comparing against another year of repairs, renewals, and tenant management.
Why Selling to Us Beats Being a Landlord
We Buy As-Is
We review repair, lease, access, and title issues before closing so the written offer shows what is being priced into the sale.
Flexible Closing
We can work around lease status, tenant access, title clearance, and the date that actually solves the problem.
Clear Offer Math
Our offer accounts for condition, lease status, access, repairs, payoff, and seller costs in writing.
No Agent Commission
We do not charge an agent commission or service fee. The written offer states the seller costs before you sign.
How We Handle Rental Properties
Here's how we can help:
- We ask about the lease, rent status, deposit, access, repairs, payoff, and title issues.
- We make a written cash offer with seller costs stated before you sign.
- We buy as-is, including many properties with tenants or deferred maintenance.
- We close after title is clear and the lease/access plan is understood.
- You compare the offer against the real cost of keeping the rental.
The Real Cost of Holding a Rental in Florida
Most landlords know the rent number, but not the true hold number. Use this as a sample worksheet for a Florida rental, then replace each line with your actual insurance bill, tax bill, lease, HOA, and repair history:
| Expense | Annual Cost |
|---|---|
| Property taxes | $5,250 - $7,000 |
| Insurance (FL avg) | $4,200 - $6,500 |
| Maintenance reserve | $3,500 |
| Vacancy or non-payment reserve | $1,800 - $2,500 |
| Property management, if used | $1,700 - $2,500 |
| Repairs and cap-ex | $2,000 - $5,000 |
| Total annual carrying cost | $18,450 - $27,000 |
The point is not that every rental has this exact cost. The point is to write down the real monthly hold number before deciding whether one more lease term is worth it.
Florida Eviction Timing Depends on the Tenant and the Court
Florida Statutes Chapter 83, Part II governs residential tenancies. If a tenant stops paying, the process usually starts with notices and court filings, but the timeline depends on service, tenant response, hearings, county backlog, and whether the tenant contests the case:
- 3-day notice to pay or vacate (non-payment), or 7-day notice for lease violations
- File eviction complaint after the notice period if the issue is not resolved
- 5 business days for tenant to respond after service
- Uncontested cases can move faster, but still depend on service, court processing, and writ timing
- Contested cases can take much longer and may require attorney guidance
During that process, you may still be paying the mortgage, taxes, insurance, utilities, HOA, and repairs. Florida law also restricts self-help actions like lockouts or utility shutoffs. In some situations we can buy a property with the tenant still in place, but we need to review the lease, deposit, access, and title facts first.
When Selling Your Rental Makes Financial Sense
Holding a rental only works when the math works. Here are the signs it's time to sell:
- Negative cash flow: Your expenses consistently exceed rent, and appreciation isn't making up the difference
- Insurance pressure: higher premiums, roof age, carrier inspections, or non-renewal risk can erase cash flow
- Deferred maintenance snowball: one repair can expose roof, AC, plumbing, electrical, mold, or code issues that a normal buyer will price aggressively
- Tenant turnover burnout: cleaning, repairs, vacancy, advertising, deposits, and re-leasing work keep repeating
- Better use of cash: if the rental only works on paper, compare the equity, risk, and time against other options with your CPA or advisor
Florida landlords call us for different reasons. Some have good tenants but cannot absorb insurance increases. Others have not collected rent in months. We review both situations and explain what our offer assumes before you decide.

What to Gather Before You Decide
Bring the lease, rent ledger, security-deposit amount, insurance bill, tax bill, HOA statement, payoff, and any repair photos. Those documents tell you whether holding, listing, or selling as-is makes more sense.
If the tenant is current and the property is easy to finance, listing may produce more. If repairs, access, insurance, HOA, or non-payment are the real problem, a cash offer gives you a number to compare.
Florida Real Estate Law
Reference: Florida Statutes §689 (Conveyances)
- Florida sellers should disclose known material defects that are not readily observable. Selling as-is can reduce repair negotiations, but it does not remove disclosure duties.
- Florida does not have an individual state income tax, but federal capital-gains rules, documentary stamp tax, prorated property taxes, rental history, and reporting forms can still affect the final number.
- A Florida title company can run the title search, coordinate lien payoffs, issue title insurance when applicable, and record the deed.
- We close with a licensed Florida title company. The settlement statement should show payoffs, prorations, title charges, and seller costs before closing.
Florida rental decisions should be made from your property-level math, not a statewide headline. Compare rent collected, months vacant, insurance, taxes, HOA, repairs, code issues, tenant status, payoff, and the net amount you would keep after a sale.
