No eviction. No make-ready. No more 2 a.m. phone calls.
Rental property is a great investment right up until it isn't: the tenant stops paying, the AC dies in August, the city sends a notice, and the property manager takes 10% to forward you the bad news.
We buy rental houses in Lancaster, TX with tenants in place, behind on rent, or vacant and trashed. You don't evict anyone, you don't repaint, and you don't wait for a lease to end.
Mike Jackson will call or text you shortly, usually within the hour during the day. If it's urgent, call (972) 954-6120 now.
The lease goes with the property. When we buy, we step into your shoes as landlord — same lease, same rent, same rules. Texas requires the security deposit to transfer to the new owner and the tenant to be notified in writing, and we handle that paperwork at closing.
If the tenant is behind or on a month-to-month, that's our problem after closing, not yours. We don't need the house empty and we won't ask you to run an eviction first. Texas evictions move through JP court in a few weeks, and we're comfortable doing it ourselves if it comes to that.
Vacancy, turnover, deferred maintenance, property management, and your own time rarely make it onto the spreadsheet. A house that "cash flows $300 a month" often nets closer to zero once a roof or a foundation shows up. If you've owned the property more than a few years, your equity is likely doing more for you sitting in cash than in a tired rental.
If you're worried about capital gains, ask a CPA about a 1031 exchange before you sell. We can close on a timeline that fits one.
We'll make an offer based on a quick walkthrough — we'll coordinate with the tenant respectfully, or if the tenant is difficult we can often make an offer from the outside and a rent roll. Close in two weeks or on your date. Sell one house or the whole portfolio.
Lancaster is one of the oldest towns in Dallas County — the historic square dates to the 1800s — and the neighborhoods around it are a mix of early-1900s cottages, 1960s–'80s ranches, and newer subdivisions along the edges. Housing is more affordable here than most of the county, which makes it a strong rental market and means a lot of the houses we see are landlord-owned.
Lancaster's code enforcement is active on tall grass and exterior condition, and we buy houses here with open notices and liens regularly.
Areas we buy in: Historic Town Square, Millbrook, Boardwalk, Rolling Meadows, North Lancaster near I-20.
ZIP codes: 75134, 75146.
Call, text, or use the form. Five minutes of questions — no sales pitch.
We look at the property once and put a real number in writing, usually within 48 hours. We show you how we got there.
A licensed Texas title company handles everything. Close in as little as 7 days, or later if you need time. Cash wired to you.
None of this is required to get started — it just makes the offer faster.
You'll need to give them access notice for a walkthrough per your lease. Beyond that, the tenant is notified at closing that the owner has changed and where to send rent.
No. We'll buy it with the tenant in place and take it from there.
Yes. We've bought small portfolios in one closing.
Housing-assistance leases transfer too. We'll handle the paperwork with the housing authority.
I'm Mike Jackson. I'm a real estate investor based in Dallas, TX, and I buy houses across Dallas County, Texas — including Lancaster, TX. I'm not an agent and I'm not a national call center. When you call the number on this page, you're calling me.
I started doing this because I kept watching families lose money on houses they didn't want, to a process that wasn't built for them. A cash sale isn't right for everyone, and I'll tell you if it isn't right for you. When it is, I'll make it the easiest part of a hard situation.
