A Cash Buyer for Occupied LA Rentals
Californias tenant protection landscape has become significantly more complex over the past decade — AB 1482s statewide rent cap, the Los Angeles Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO), the Los Angeles Just Cause Eviction Ordinance, and various city-specific rules in Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Culver City, Glendale, and others. Selling an occupied rental through a traditional agent often triggers buyer skepticism, tenant-estoppel complications, and drawn-out showings. We buy occupied rental properties directly, with tenants in place. You do not need to attempt to deliver the property vacant. You do not need to navigate a buyers financing contingencies through a tenants estoppel certificate. We take the property in its current condition with its current tenants.
Property Types We Buy
- Single-family rentals (SFRs)
- Duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes — our most common rental purchase

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my tenants have to move?
No. We buy subject to existing tenancies. We handle any future tenant decisions after closing and in compliance with all applicable law.
Do I need to deliver an estoppel certificate?
Yes, we typically request one — but we are more flexible than conventional lenders about form and content.
Can I sell a building with a tenant who owes rent?
Yes. You do not need to resolve the arrears before we buy. We take the property as-is, tenants as-is.
Do you buy rent-controlled LA properties?
Yes. We are familiar with the LA RSO, Santa Monica Rent Control, Beverly Hills Rent Stabilization, and other local ordinances.
What about AB 1482?
Most of California is now under AB 1482. We purchase AB 1482 properties regularly and understand the rent cap and just-cause requirements.
