ServicesVacant & Problem Houses
Sell a Vacant or Problem House in Mesilla
An empty house or a rental that keeps causing trouble costs you money every month it sits. We make a fair cash offer on the property as it stands, give you a realistic timeline from the first call, and tell you right away if a date has to move.
For the house you no longer want to manage
Some properties stop being an asset and start being a chore. Maybe it has sat empty since a move or a family change. Maybe it is a rental with a tenant who stopped paying, a yard the city keeps writing letters about, or a roof that leaked during the last monsoon and never got fixed. We buy these houses as-is, so you skip the repairs, the cleanout and the search for a new tenant.
What we offer is a plan you can put on a calendar. On the first call we explain each step, roughly how long it usually takes, and what could slow it down. If a title search turns up a lien or a tenant needs more notice, you hear it from us that day, along with the new estimate. You choose the closing date, and we work toward it.
What selling your problem property to us includes
We buy it the way it is now
No repairs, no new paint, no dump runs. The offer is for the house in its present shape, plus whatever has been left inside.
No appraisal, inspection or loan to wait for
There is no appraisal, no inspection and no financing contingency, the three things that most often push back a closing or kill it.
$0 fees and $0 commission
Nothing is taken out for fees or commission. The amount in the offer matches what we review with you before closing.
A thoughtful approach to tenants
If the house is still occupied, we talk through the options with you: buying with the tenant in place or waiting until it's vacant. The timing is set by what your situation actually needs.
Planned check-ins along the way
We give you rough dates for the offer, the title work and closing. You get an update at every stage, and a call right away if any of it changes.
A referral when we're not the answer
If selling to us doesn't solve your problem, we point you to the best alternative contact we know for your situation.
Signs it may be time to sell
- The bills keep coming on an empty house
- Taxes, insurance, utilities and yard upkeep add up when nobody lives there. Every month of waiting is another month of paying for a property you do not use.
- Notices from the city or county
- Weeds, junk in the yard or a boarded window can bring code enforcement letters. We can buy with open notices, so you do not have to clear them first.
- A rental that has become a headache
- Late rent, damage, repeated repair calls or a tenant you are not sure how to handle can wear a landlord down. Selling can be a cleaner exit than another lease.
- Break-ins or squatters
- Vacant houses can draw unwanted visitors. If you live far away and cannot check on the place, a sale removes that worry.
- Weather damage you cannot get to
- A leak from summer storms, a failed swamp cooler or dust and pests getting in can grow quietly in an empty house. We buy it as-is, so the damage does not have to be fixed before you sell.
How it works, step by step
- 1
A short call
Tell us about the property, who is living there, if anyone, and the date you have in mind. We explain what happens next and how long each stage usually takes.
- 2
A free 5-minute walk-through
We set a time that works for you and stick to it. If you cannot be there, we can talk through access or go over the property by phone or video.

Your free, no-obligation cash offer
We walk you through how we arrived at the number. There is no pressure to accept, and you can take time to think it over.

Title work and updates
Once you say yes, title work begins. This is where liens, back taxes or ownership questions show up, and we call you as soon as we know whether anything changes the timeline.
- 5
Closing on the date you chose
You pick the closing day. Leave behind whatever you do not want, and we take it from there.
What shapes the offer on a problem property
There are no fees or commissions to subtract, so the offer itself is what matters. A few things about the house and its paperwork move that number. We point to each one when we explain the offer, so nothing comes as a surprise at closing.
- Condition of the house
- Roof leaks, foundation cracks, plumbing that sat dry for months and worn systems all affect what the property will need after we buy it.
- Occupancy and tenants
- A house with a tenant in place, or one where someone needs time to move out, changes both the plan and the timing.
- Liens, back taxes and unpaid utilities
- These are usually paid from the sale proceeds at closing. We tell you what the title search finds as soon as we see it.
- Your closing date
- A very quick close or a date months out can both work. We talk through how the date you want fits with the title work.
Common questions about empty and troubled properties
- Will you buy a rental with someone still living in it?
- In many cases, yes. We review the lease, where things stand with the tenant and the date you need, then lay out the options that can actually work. Some owners close with the tenant still there; others wait for the unit to empty. You see the plan before you commit.
- Do I have to travel back if I live in another state?
- In most cases, no. We handle much of it by phone and video and work out property access with you. You get an update at every stage, so distance doesn't leave you in the dark.
- Does the house need to be emptied before you buy?
- No. Furniture, garage boxes, anything you don't want can stay. The cleanout is already figured into our offer.
- Can you still buy if the property has liens or code violations?
- Yes, we can still make an offer. Open code notices and most liens get handled through the sale, often paid out of the proceeds at closing. If the title search finds something that needs extra time, we call with an updated timeline.
- How long will the sale take from start to finish?
- Mostly it comes down to title work and whether the house is still occupied. You get an honest estimate on the first call, and we revise it as we learn more. The closing date is still yours to choose.
- Have you bought houses like mine before?
- We have. Our team has 14 combined years in the business, and empty and troubled houses in Mesilla, Las Cruces and the nearby area make up a steady share of it.
