Ready to be done being a landlord.
The 3 a.m. calls. The eviction courts. The turnover costs. The tax drag. You don't have to evict tenants, do a full rehab, or lose a year of income to exit cleanly. Here's how.
What's probably pushing you
- A tenant who pays but stopped taking care of the place.
- A property manager who is more expensive than useful.
- Deferred maintenance you've been kicking down the road.
- Rising insurance, taxes, or HOA costs eating your margin.
- You're just done — ready to trade this asset for time, simplicity, or a different investment.
Three clean exit paths
1. Tenant-in-place cash sale
A cash buyer (disclosed as Hansen or an affiliated investment entity) purchases with the tenant still in place. No eviction. No vacancy loss. Your tenant keeps their home, you stop being a landlord on closing day.
2. Investor-to-investor listing
Many Arkansas rentals sell faster and cleaner on the investor market. Listed through OZK Realty or a referral agent who speaks investor — cap rates, rent rolls, 1031 exchanges.
3. Seller financing for passive income
If your goal is to trade active rental headaches for a mailbox check, seller-financing to a qualified buyer can get you a higher effective price, steady monthly income, and no landlord duties.
What to pull together before we talk
- Current monthly rent and lease end date.
- Approximate mortgage balance and payment.
- Honest take on condition and any deferred maintenance.
- Your tax basis if you know it (for 1031 or capital-gains planning).
- Whether you'd trade some upfront cash for monthly income.
You worked for this equity. Let's get you out without giving a chunk of it away.
