WHO THIS PAGE IS FOR?
This page is most helpful if you’re:
- A landlord ready to exit a rental property
- Managing tenant-occupied or recently vacated units
- Tired of repairs, turnovers, or coordination
- Holding a property that no longer fits your life or goals
- Unsure whether to sell, hold, or list
If the property feels heavier than it used to, clarity matters more than speed.
WHY LANDLORD EXITS GET STUCK?
Many landlords delay exit decisions because:
- Tenant situations complicate timing
- Repairs feel endless or unclear
- Market headlines create noise
- There’s uncertainty about tax or timing impact
The result is often inaction — not because selling is wrong, but because the trade-offs aren’t clear.
My role is to help you see the paths cleanly so you can decide intentionally.
COMMON LANDLORD EXIT OPTIONS
There’s no single right way to exit.
These are the most common paths landlords consider — each with trade-offs.
1. Direct Sale (Certainty First)
A private sale that prioritizes speed, predictability, and minimal involvement.
Often fits when:
- The property needs work
- Tenants complicate showings
- You want a clean break
Trade-off:
Lower price in exchange for certainty and less effort.
2. Hybrid / As-Is Private Sale
A balanced option with limited prep and controlled exposure.
Often fits when:
- Minor improvements increase value
- You want more upside than a direct sale
- You prefer fewer showings
Trade-off:
Some coordination and time required.
3. Tenant-In-Place Sale
Selling with tenants still occupying the property.
Often fits when:
- Leases are active
- Relocation is undesirable
- Quiet transitions matter
Trade-off:
Smaller buyer pool, but less disruption.
4. Traditional Listing
The retail market path.
Often fits when:
- The property is vacant or can be delivered vacant
- Repairs and prep make financial sense
- Maximizing price is the priority
Trade-off:
Time, coordination, and market exposure.
5. Hold or Reposition
Sometimes exiting now isn’t the cleanest move.
Often fits when:
- The numbers still work
- Timing or market conditions suggest waiting
- Repositioning could reduce friction
Trade-off:
Ongoing management responsibility.
MY ROLE WITH LANDLORDS
I don’t push outcomes.
I clarify trade-offs.
With landlord exits, I help evaluate:
- Property condition and realistic ROI
- Tenant and lease considerations
- Timing and tax sensitivity
- Effort versus certainty
If holding, listing, or waiting makes more sense, I’ll say so.
HOW THE PRIVATE OPTIONS REVIEW HELPS?
A Private Options Review looks at the full context:
- Tenant status and lease terms
- Property condition and repair scope
- Timeline preferences
- Risk, effort, and certainty trade-offs
You receive a clear explanation of the viable paths.
You decide what — if anything — to do next.
COMMON QUESTIONS FROM LANDLORDS
Can I sell a property with tenants still in place?
Yes. In many cases, selling tenant-occupied is an option, though it changes who the likely buyers are.
What if the property needs work?
That’s common. The review helps surface options and trade-offs so conversations are grounded in facts, not assumptions.
Is a cash sale the default?
No. Cash is one option among many. Other paths may net more depending on time and effort.
What if I’m not ready to sell yet?
Then holding or waiting may be the cleaner move. The goal is clarity, not urgency.

LOCAL FOCUS
I work with landlords across Metro Atlanta, including Fayette, Coweta, Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, Hall, Clayton, Henry, Rockdale, Douglas, Newton, Walton and surrounding Georgia counties.
Special focus on probate, inherited property, and shared ownership decisions.
Since 2003, I’ve assisted homeowners facing all types of challenging situations: those who received unwanted property through inheritance, own vacant houses, have fallen behind on payments, face tax liens, downsized but can’t sell their previous home, and many more.
Even if you’ve previously listed without success, your property needs extensive repairs you can’t afford, has fire damage, or is occupied by problematic tenants, The House Squad can still purchase it and will work through your unique circumstances.
Whether you decide to sell now, later, or not at all – the goal is the same: to help you make a decision you feel good about.
