Toledo has deep blocks of older homes, from the big Victorians of the Old West End to modest frame houses in East Toledo and South Toledo. It also has its own lead-safe rules for older rentals. If your Toledo house needs work, has tenants, or is more trouble than it's worth, we'll make you a cash offer as-is.
We buy houses in all 50 states. These are just some of the areas we serve. Don't see your city? We still want to hear from you.

What we see in Toledo houses
- Lead-safe certificates for rentals. Toledo requires a lead-safe certificate for rental properties with one to four units built before 1978. That usually means a clearance inspection, and sometimes paint, window and porch work, before a unit can be rented or re-rented.
- Older homes. Much of the city was built in the late 1800s through the mid-1900s, with old roofs, wiring and plumbing.
- Lake Erie winters. Cold winters and freeze-thaw cycles take a toll on foundations, basements, gutters and porches.
- Doubles and small rentals. Many owners hold one or two rentals and are ready to stop.
Why Toledo owners sell to us
About half of Toledo households rent, according to Census estimates, and many small landlords don't want to keep up with lead certification and turnover repairs. We also hear from families settling an estate, out-of-town heirs, and owners whose repair list has gotten too long.
See our pages for an inherited house, probate, a house that needs repairs, being a tired landlord, or a vacant house.
Probate and foreclosure in Toledo

Questions Toledo sellers ask
My rental doesn't have a lead-safe certificate. Can I still sell it?
Yes. You can sell it as-is. We take on the certificate and any work it needs after we buy.
Will you buy with tenants still living there?
Yes. We regularly buy rentals with tenants in place.
Do you buy houses that need a full rehab?
Yes. Roof, foundation, fire damage or decades-old everything, we buy it as-is.
