Why yes. Yes you can. It’s been a seller’s market lately. That means buyers tend to come in twos and threes. If you’re looking to sell your Santa Clarita home with a tenant inside, you can do it.

Perhaps it’s a situation where your tenant just loves the home and wants to stay regardless of when their lease ends, or maybe their lease is over and they’re on month to month, and they have no where else to go.

You Can Find An Investor Buyer

You can find an investor to buy your Santa Clarita home, and you may not even have to price it below market. Home values have been appreciating in Santa Clarita, and investors have been implementing a buy and hold strategy, with a plan to rent the home for 1-5 years, sometimes longer.

Regardless of whether your tenant’s lease is about to end or if it still has another 9 months to go… if you have the need to cash in on your equity, you can sell your Santa Clarita home with a tenant in it. Just make sure that you create an arrangement with the tenant to cooperate with home buyers touring through the home, as well as vendors such as the home inspector and appraiser. Tenant on the fence about cooperating? Consider an incentive such as reduced rent for the month of chaos when selling the home. Consider a cash incentive. Consider repairing something for the tenant you’ve been ignoring. Consider accommodating your renter’s schedule with appointments needed for the home sale. It can be done!
