Sell a tired rental in San Antonio without evicting, repairing, or waiting for the lease to end. We buy tenant-occupied and vacant rentals directly from owners across Bexar County, with a written cash offer within 48 hours and a close on the date you choose. No commissions, no repairs, no turnover.
A few details, a few minutes, no obligation. We follow up with a written offer within 48 hours of submission.
We built our process around the things sellers tell us are missing from the rest of the industry: clarity, follow-through, and respect for your time.
Share the address and a few details about the home and your situation. The form takes under two minutes. There is no obligation and no credit check.
We research comparable sales, condition, and any encumbrances. If we have questions, we will call.
We present the offer in plain language. Purchase price, who pays which costs, and the proposed timeline.
We close at a Texas title company on the date that works for you. If you need additional time in the home after closing, we can structure that too.
We do not drag sellers along. If your property is not a fit, you will hear it from us fast, with the real numbers and the reason behind them. No chasing. No churn. No burn. Just a straight answer and a fair process every time.
Three numbers we are willing to put in writing. The rest we say in person.
We are built for the properties and circumstances that traditional listings handle poorly. If your situation is below, or close to it, we can help.
A property you did not plan for, often shared between siblings, sometimes hundreds of miles away. We work directly with heirs and probate attorneys without forcing repairs, showings, or out-of-state travel.
Probate timelines, court approvals, and family dynamics each add complexity. We coordinate with probate counsel and structure a purchase that works once the estate is positioned to sell.
When a foreclosure date is approaching, time and clarity matter. We assess your specific situation, walk you through realistic options, and if a sale makes sense, present terms in plain language.
Difficult tenants, deferred maintenance, or simply the desire to exit the rental business. We purchase tenant-occupied properties and properties that need work, without requiring you to deliver a vacant or repaired home.
Vacant, neglected, or overfilled properties are part of our normal scope. We do not require cleanouts, staging, or photographs. Leave behind whatever you do not wish to keep.
The conversation still costs you nothing. Divorce, code violations, relocation, repairs you cannot afford. Tell us what you are working with.
Tell Us About ItWe buy rental property across the City of San Antonio, all of Bexar County, and the surrounding San Antonio-New Braunfels MSA. Inside the historic core, across the neighborhoods between Loop 410 and Loop 1604, the suburban ring beyond 1604, and the MSA towns at the metro edge. We buy single rentals, duplexes, and small portfolios, occupied or vacant, and we know the military relocation timelines that turn so many San Antonio owners into accidental landlords.
For the full decision framework on exiting rentals, read should I sell my rental property, or our guide on selling a Texas home quickly. Texas has no state income tax, per the Texas Comptroller, and the eviction process runs through the Bexar County Justice of the Peace courts. Slagle Investments operates as a principal buyer under Texas Property Code §§ 5.0205 and 5.086, and we are not a licensed real estate broker. The Texas Real Estate Commission regulates licensed brokers, not real estate investors. Author profile: Will Slagle, Founder.
Yes. We buy tenant-occupied rentals across Bexar County and take assignment of the lease and security deposit at closing, so you do not have to deliver a vacant home. The tenant stays under the existing lease, which protects you from a wrongful-eviction claim and means you collect rent right up to the closing date. You do not give notice, time the sale to a lease end, or coordinate a move-out. That is usually the single biggest reason a tired landlord calls us instead of listing.
No. You can sell mid-eviction. A Texas eviction runs through the Bexar County justice courts, and between the notice to vacate, the filing, the hearing, and any appeal it commonly takes weeks to a few months, longer if the tenant appeals to county court. We can buy the property with the case in progress and take it over, or we can structure the timeline around a pending judgment. You stop pouring legal fees and lost rent into a unit that is no longer paying you.
No. We purchase as-is, in any condition. That includes the deferred maintenance that piles up on a long-held rental: worn flooring, a tired roof, an aging HVAC, foundation movement, smoke or pet damage, and a unit left rough by a departing tenant. You do not turn the unit, paint, re-carpet, or make it rent-ready. The offer reflects the condition, so you skip the make-ready spend and the weeks the unit would sit empty while you do it.
Yes, and it is one of the most common San Antonio situations we see. This is a military town, and a permanent change of station, a deployment, or a transfer turns a lot of owners into long-distance landlords who never set out to be one. We coordinate the entire sale remotely through a Texas title company, with remote online notarization where allowed, so you can sell a San Antonio rental without flying back to Bexar County. The same applies to a rental you inherited and would rather not keep.
Texas has no state income tax, so the tax on a rental sale is federal. Two pieces matter: capital gains on the appreciation, and depreciation recapture on the deductions you took over the years, which is taxed at a separate federal rate up to 25 percent. A 1031 exchange can defer both if you are rolling into another investment property, but it has strict 45-day and 180-day deadlines. If you are exiting rentals for good, recapture is the line item most landlords forget. Confirm your exact numbers with a CPA, because the result depends on your basis and how long you held the property.
We pull comparable recent sales in the immediate submarket, then adjust for condition, the work the property needs, the lease in place, and the holding and transaction costs we take on. For an occupied rental we factor the current rent, the lease term, and the tenant-payment history, because a stabilized, paying tenant is worth more to us than a unit in turnover. We underwrite your specific zip code rather than the metro as a whole, and we will walk you through the math when we present the offer.
Sometimes that is the better move, and we will tell you when it is. If the rental cash-flows cleanly, the tenant pays on time, and the headache is manageable, refinancing or hiring a property manager can beat selling. Selling tends to win when the property is bleeding through vacancy, repairs, problem tenants, or rising Bexar County property taxes and insurance, when you are managing from out of state, or when your equity would do more in a different asset. A direct sale at fair market value cannot fix negative cash flow on a property you should keep, and we will say so.
Yes. We buy single rentals, duplexes, fourplexes, and small portfolios across Greater San Antonio, occupied or vacant. If you are winding down several doors at once, we can structure a single closing for the group or stagger the closings to fit your tax planning. Submit the addresses together and we will underwrite the whole set.
Possibly. In most transactions we close as the buyer of record. In some, we may assign our equitable interest in the contract to a vetted investor partner who closes in our place. Texas Property Code §§ 5.0205 and 5.086 require us to disclose this in writing before any assignment is made. Your purchase price and timeline do not change.
If a direct sale is the right move for your situation, we will tell you. If it is not, we will tell you that too.
We do not drag sellers along. If your property is not a fit, you will hear it from us fast, with the real numbers and the reason behind them. No chasing. No churn. No burn. Just a straight answer and a fair process every time.
