Bad tenants, vacant units you can't fill, eviction in progress, code violations, deferred maintenance — we buy with tenants in place or vacant. As-is. Cash.
You don't need to evict before we buy. We've taken over properties with month-to-month tenants, lease tenants, holdover tenants, and tenants in active eviction. We handle the transition. You're done.
Roof failing, HVAC dead, plumbing issues, hoarder-level mess in a unit a tenant just vacated — doesn't matter. We buy the math, not the photos. Walk away from the punch list.
Selling 3 rentals? 10? A small multifamily? We close one transaction, or staggered closings if that works better for your taxes. One conversation, one closing team, one check at the end.
"The best landlords I know hit a wall eventually. Tenants stop paying. The roof goes. A unit sits empty for 6 months. We buy that exact situation — occupied or empty, any condition — so you can be done."
A note from Barry
"I've helped thousands of Hampton Roads families buy and sell as their agent — and personally bought hundreds of houses for cash when that was the right move. I started Legacy because the 'we buy houses' world is full of lowballers, and the regular agent world doesn't know what to do when you need to be out in two weeks. We do both. We tell you straight which one nets you more. Then you decide."
No. We buy with the tenant in place and the rent issue becomes our problem, not yours. We've taken over properties mid-eviction. Tell us the situation honestly and we'll factor it into the offer.
Yes. We continue the housing assistance contract and the tenant stays in place under their existing voucher. Section 8 properties are part of our portfolio strategy.
We handle it. Don't clean. Don't fix. Don't even change the locks. We buy it exactly the way you last saw it, including whatever the tenant left behind.
We notify them after closing or whenever you want us to. Most landlords prefer we handle the announcement so you don't have a dozen awkward conversations. Up to you.
