Owning a rental can turn into a headache — especially with problem tenants. If you're considering selling, here are five things to know first.

1. You Don't Have to Evict First

Highlands buys rental properties with tenants in place. See how on our problem tenants page.

2. You Can Sell As-Is

Damage and deferred maintenance don't disqualify a sale. Learn about selling as-is in Florida.

3. Tenants Must Receive Notice of Ownership Change

Florida law requires notice for ownership changes — but this is handled at and after closing, not before.

4. A Cash Sale Removes the Ongoing Stress

Once you close, tenant management is no longer your responsibility.

5. You Can Sell From Anywhere

Out of state? The whole process can be handled remotely — see our out-of-state owners page.
