When the Passive Income Stopped Being Passive

You bought the rental property to build wealth. Maybe it was an extra income stream, maybe a retirement plan, maybe a flip that turned into a hold. Whatever the reason, the math worked on paper.

Then reality showed up. The tenant stopped paying. The roof started leaking. The HVAC died in August. The property manager raised their fee. Houston's storm season turned a routine year into an insurance claim. You're spending nights coordinating contractors instead of doing whatever you got into real estate to actually do.

If the rental has stopped being income and started being a job, it's time to exit. Property Royals buys Houston rental properties for cash — tenant occupied, vacant, single family, multi-unit, any condition.

Why Houston Rentals Are Especially Hard Right Now

Storm and flood damage stack up.Houston's combination of hurricanes, tropical storms, and flooding events means insurance claims, deductibles, and repairs that other markets don't deal with. Even good tenants can't prevent water from coming through a damaged roof.

Foundation issues are constant.Houston's expansive clay soil shifts with weather. Pier-and-beam adjustments, slab leaks, and uneven floors are part of the landlord experience here, not exceptions.

Property tax pressure. Harris County property taxes have risen sharply over the past few years. Homestead exemption protects primary residences but not rentals. Your tax bill on the rental keeps growing whether or not your rent does.

Eviction process takes time.Texas eviction is faster than most states (21–45 days when uncontested), but a contested eviction with appeals can stretch to 60–90 days. During that time you're losing rent and paying legal fees.

Vacancy losses compound fast.A month of vacancy in a Houston rental costs roughly 8–10% of annual income. By the time you've factored in turnover repairs, marketing, and showing time, two vacancies a year can eat 20%+ of revenue.

You Don't Have to Evict Anyone First

Most cash buyers want vacant properties. We buy occupied ones too. Here's how it works:

Sell with tenants in place.The lease transfers to us at closing. We handle the tenant relationship from there — rent collection, lease renewal, evictions if needed. You're out as soon as we close.

Sell vacant if you prefer. If tenants have left or you want them gone before closing, we can work with that. We can also negotiate a cash-for-keys buyout to get a tenant out cleanly before closing.

Multi-units, single families, condos.Duplex, fourplex, single-family rental, condo investment — we buy all of it. Houston's rental inventory is mixed and so is our portfolio.

Good tenants, bad tenants, behind-on-rent tenants.Doesn't matter. We've bought properties where tenants haven't paid in three months and bought properties where the tenant is a model citizen on a long lease. We adjust the offer accordingly and close.

Section 8 / housing voucher tenants. We work with these too. The voucher contract transfers with the property. Standard process for us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not necessarily. The offer reflects current rental income, lease terms, and tenant status. A good tenant on a solid lease is actually a plus — it's continuing income for the next owner. A non-paying tenant with a damaged unit will lower the offer, because we'll need to handle eviction and repairs.
Yes. We buy properties with rent-behind tenants regularly. We'll handle whatever needs to happen after closing — eviction, payment plan, cash-for-keys — based on the tenant situation. You don't have to manage it.
No. We buy occupied properties. The lease transfers to us at closing. If you prefer to have the property vacant before we close, we can work with that timeline, or negotiate a buyout with the tenant.
Yes. We buy in any condition. Deferred maintenance, code violations, tenant-caused damage — all fine. We factor it into our offer and handle it after closing.
Sometimes. If you're underwater, we'll evaluate the property and explore options including a short sale with your lender. Selling for less than the mortgage balance is rarely ideal, but for some landlords it's a better outcome than continuing to lose money each month.
Security deposits transfer to us at closing. We then handle the deposit per the lease terms when the tenant eventually moves out (refund, deductions, etc.). You're out of that loop.
Yes. We buy portfolio packages. Often a portfolio sale gets you a slightly higher per-property price than individual sales, plus one closing instead of many. Send us the addresses and we'll evaluate the package.
