The situation
Sell your rental, tenant-in-place or vacant
Being a landlord was supposed to be passive income. It turned into 11 p.m. phone calls, repairs you're paying for twice, and a second tax return every spring. You want out.
Tenant in place is fine. Remote owner is fine. Damage is fine. We buy the rental as it stands — you don't evict, you don't fix, you don't fly in.
Downers Grove local expertise
We know Downers Grove.
Downers Grove is a BNSF Metra town with a long Main Street commercial spine. Housing runs prairie and Victorian in the older core, post-war ranches and 1970s-80s colonials on the outer edges.
We buy sell a rental property out in Downers Grove, and across DuPage County in Illinois. Tenant in place is fine. Subject to the lease, or work the move-out with us.
Tenant-in-place or vacant — your call
We can buy subject to the existing lease (tenant stays) or work the move-out with you after closing (we handle it). Your call. We've done both.
Cook County eviction typically runs $2K-$5K and 2-4 months. Selling with the tenant in place skips all of that.
Remote-owner workflow is routine
Out of state is routine. We walk the property, send you photos, send the offer in writing, close with remote signing. You don't fly in unless you want to. We coordinate with your attorney remotely.
Two-flats, three-flats, multi-unit
Two-flats, three-flats, and four-flats are the Cook-suburbs landlord norm. We buy them. If you want to sell the whole building or just one unit of a condo'd building, say so — both are workable.
Chicago's Residential Landlord Tenant Ordinance is unusually tenant-friendly, and security deposit handling at closing has its own rules. We know the drill.
Questions
What Downers Grove sellers ask us.
Do I have to evict the tenant first?
No. We can buy subject to the existing lease (tenant stays) or work the move-out with you after closing (we handle it). Your call. We've done both.
Can you buy with the tenant in place?
Yes, regularly. Tenant stays under the existing lease, rent comes to us after close. If there's a lease term we need to respect, we respect it.
I'm out of state. How do I do this remotely?
Common. We walk the property, send you photos and the offer in writing, close with remote signing. You don't fly in unless you want to. Title company handles the remote notary.
The tenant is behind on rent. Does that change the offer?
Not materially. We factor current occupancy and rent condition into the offer, but back rent doesn't disqualify the sale. What you're owed at close is your call.
The unit is trashed. Can you still buy?
Yes. We buy as-is. Tenant damage, pet damage, smoke damage — all expected on rental turnover. We don't send a repair list.
Do I have to provide the lease or rent roll?
For a tenant-in-place sale, yes — we need the lease and current rent to structure the offer. For a vacant sale or buy-subject-to-move-out, just the rough details.
What about security deposits at closing?
They transfer to us at close, or you return them to the tenant — your call. Chicago has specific deposit-interest rules under the RLTO; we know the drill.
Can you buy just one unit of a multi-family?
If it's condo'd with a separate deed, yes. If it's a single legal property (a classic Chicago two-flat or three-flat), we buy the whole building.
What if the tenant refuses to leave after the sale?
If we bought tenant-in-place, they stay under the lease — no issue. If we bought with a move-out commitment and the tenant doesn't go, the eviction is on us post-close, not on you.
