Retire From Landlording
Two quick steps toward one closing for the whole portfolio, on your timeline.
From Stressed Landlord to Peaceful Retirement
"After 28 years as a landlord, I was tired of midnight emergency calls and difficult tenants. At 67, I wanted to focus on my health and spend time with my grandchildren. Portfolio Homebuyers made the transition so easy. They bought all 8 of my rental properties in one transaction, handled all the paperwork, and I walked away with $485,000 cash. Now I sleep peacefully, travel with my wife, and actually enjoy retirement."

Your Questions, Answered
How do I retire from being a landlord?
The fastest path is selling the whole portfolio in one transaction instead of listing properties one at a time for months. We buy 3-20 property portfolios as-is, typically closing within 30-45 days, with no commissions, so retirement does not have to wait on a dozen separate sales.
Can I sell on my own timeline?
Yes. You choose when to start, and once you sign, closing typically takes 30-45 days. If you want to wind down in stages, we can also buy a subset of the portfolio now and discuss the rest later.
What happens to my long-term tenants when I retire?
Leases transfer at closing and we take over the tenant relationships from there. You do not need to end tenancies to sell, and occupied properties are fine.
What are the tax implications of selling rentals I have owned for decades?
Long-held rentals often involve capital gains and depreciation recapture, and some sellers discuss options like a 1031 exchange with their advisors. The right answer depends entirely on your situation, so please review the sale with your CPA before deciding.
How much of the sale price do I actually keep?
There are no agent commissions or fees on our purchase, so the agreed price is not reduced by the 5-6% commission a listed sale typically pays. Standard closing items like mortgage payoffs and prorations settle through the title company, itemized on your settlement statement.
