Sell Your Madisonville Rental Property to the Actual Buyer.

Madisonville's rental stock is mostly modest and mostly frame: side-by-side doubles, up-and-down two-families, small blocks of flats, and the occasional brick four-family, laid out on a straightforward grid of streets around the business district on Madison Road.

A lot of it has been held a long time and maintained on a budget. Original windows, furnaces that predate the current owner, roofs patched more than once, porches that need a carpenter rather than a painter. Some of it has been through a couple of investors who took the rent and left the building alone.

There's real momentum along the main corridor now, and the neighborhood is drawing a very different kind of attention than it did ten years ago. That's what put your address on so many mailing lists.

Here's the honest difference. A wholesaler wants your building under contract at the lowest number you'll accept, then sells that contract to somebody else and never owns it. You never meet the buyer, and the price often gets renegotiated after they've found one.

I'm the person whose name goes on the deed. I don't assign contracts. When I make you an offer, I intend to close it myself and then own the building, maintain it, and manage it in house for the long haul. You'll have my cell number, and I'm the one who answers it.

I'm also local. My family lives here and is raising kids here. What happens to a block in Madisonville after the closing isn't an abstraction to me.

In a neighborhood attracting this much investor attention, the people renting here are the ones who get churned. I'd rather not be part of that. I honor the leases in place when I buy, I keep the units rented, and I do the maintenance instead of deferring it until people give up and leave.

For you that means the practical stuff is simple: I don't need vacant units, I don't need you to hand anyone a notice before closing, and I don't need the building emptied or cleaned out. Sell it occupied and sell it as it sits.

The situations that make other buyers disappear are the ones I've already handled. Back taxes that have been growing. An orders-and-violations letter from the city. A tenant situation that got difficult. A building that's been sitting half-vacant because the last turnover was too expensive to face. An out-of-state owner who inherited it and has never seen it.

None of that has to be resolved before you call. I buy as-is, cash, on your timeline. If your building isn't a fit for me, I'll tell you kindly and point you somewhere useful if I can — but I'd rather look at it than have you keep throwing away postcards.
