Sell a Rental Property in Detroit, MI

No. We can buy with the tenant in place and take over the current lease. You keep collecting rent right up to closing and avoid any empty time.

We often buy properties with problem tenants and missed rent. We can take that issue on ourselves as part of the purchase. You don't have to fix it before selling.

No. We buy as-is, including units with put-off repairs or open rental-inspection items. We handle the work after closing.

Our fast, reliable closing timeline works well for exchange deadlines. We're not tax advisors, so you'll set up the exchange itself with your qualified intermediary. But we'll close on schedule.

Yes. If you're winding down a portfolio, we can make offers on several properties at once. Reach out and tell us what you have.

As of July 2026, the typical middle-tier Detroit home is worth about $76,084 per the Zillow Home Value Index — down 5.6% over the past year. Actual closed sales tell a similar story — the median Detroit sale price is running about $88,333. That's a citywide midpoint: values differ street to street between Corktown, Midtown and East English Village and other pockets of Detroit. When we price a rental, we work from recent sales near your address and its true condition, not the citywide average.

On a listed Detroit sale near the typical home value of $76,084, plan on roughly $3,800–$4,600 in agent commission (5–6%), about $650 in Michigan transfer tax ($3.75 state + $0.55 Wayne County per $500 of price), plus owner's title insurance, any repair credits from the buyer's inspection, and the carrying costs while it sits on the market. When we buy directly there's no commission and we cover the standard closing costs — you still pay the state and county transfer tax as the seller, but the written offer is otherwise what you keep, less your mortgage payoff and prorated taxes.

Yes — occupied, vacant, or somewhere in between. Leases and security deposits transfer at closing the way Michigan law requires, and we never ask you to run showings past your tenants. We buy single-family rentals, duplexes, and small multi-family buildings across Detroit and the rest of Wayne County, in whatever condition the last tenancy left them.

All of them. That includes Corktown, Midtown, East English Village, Rosedale Park, Bagley and Boston-Edison — and every other street in Detroit. If the property is anywhere in Wayne County, we'll make a written cash offer on it, regardless of condition.

Yes. We buy Detroit houses completely as-is. That includes homes with fire or water damage, foundation problems, a failed furnace, or open code violations from the city. You don't need to make a single repair, pull permits, pass a city inspection, or clean the place out before closing. We build the home's condition into our cash offer. So you can sell a home that most mortgage buyers and their lenders won't touch.

Past-due Wayne County property taxes are very common in Detroit, and they rarely stop a sale. We just need to act before the home is lost to the county's tax-foreclosure auction. Then we can usually pay the balance you owe through the title company at closing and take it out of your proceeds. The earlier you reach out, the more room we have to set up a deal. That deal clears the taxes and still puts cash in your pocket.
