Can Tony really buy my Bushwick rental with the tenant still in it?
Yes. Tony has bought hundreds of tenant-occupied properties in NJ and NY. The tenant doesn't need to leave before closing. Tony handles them after.
Tony buys tenant-occupied rentals in Kings County. The tenant doesn't have to leave before closing. No 30-day notice. No eviction. Tony takes the property as-is, with the tenant in place, and works it out with them after.
Being a landlord wears people down. The late-rent texts. The midnight repair calls. The eviction worries. The tenant who hasn't paid in three months and you can't get out. The repairs piling up faster than the rent comes in. You're not stuck. Tony has bought hundreds of tenant-occupied rentals in NJ and NY — including the kind nobody else would touch.
Most cash buyers in Kings County won't touch a tenant-occupied property. Tony does. Tony has bought 2-families with non-paying tenants, 3-families with full leases through next year, single-family rentals with month-to-month tenants, and Section 8 properties. All of it.

The kind of row house property Tony has bought in Bushwick.
Kings County (Brooklyn) is brownstones, multi-families, and pre-war apartment stock. Bedford-Stuyvesant, Crown Heights, Flatbush, Bushwick, East New York all have heavy inherited-property volume.
NYC property taxes use Class 1 (1-3 family) assessment that lags market value significantly. Effective rates vary by class but typically 0.8-1.5%.

What Bushwick landlords save by selling a tenant-occupied rental to Tony: the eviction filing fees ($1,500-$5,000), the 6-12 months an eviction takes in NJ/NY, the lost rent during that time, the lawyer fees, the property damage tenants do when they're being evicted, the make-ready costs after they leave, and the months of vacancy looking for the next tenant. Tony absorbs all of it.
Bushwick's housing is mostly three-story frame houses — two- and three-families under vinyl or asphalt siding — on 20- to 25-foot lots, mixed with brick rows, six-family walk-ups, and the two-family rowhouses built on cleared lots after the 1977 blackout fires. Along Bushwick Avenue there are surviving 19th-century brewers' mansions, and the industrial blocks near Morgan and Jefferson have been converted into lofts. NYCHA's Bushwick Houses and Hope Gardens anchor the north end.
Bushwick sellers who call Tony are often the Puerto Rican and Dominican families who bought these frame houses for very little in the 1970s and 80s and now own something worth more than they ever expected — but with an elderly parent's estate to settle, tenants paying old rents, and a DOB violation for a self-certified renovation. Others own a building with a Loft Law tenant or a commercial ground floor they can't lease. Tony buys the building occupied, with the violations, with the illegal cellar unit, and with the estate still working through Surrogate's Court — one number, no inspection contingency, closing when you say.
Bushwick sellers pay the NYC RPTT (1% up to $500,000, 1.425% above) and the 0.4% state transfer tax; Tony's number is net of both. Frame houses here almost always predate 1960, so a rented unit with a young child triggers Local Law 1 lead-paint rules — a lender's inspector cares, Tony doesn't. Converted industrial buildings may have Loft Law or certificate-of-occupancy questions that only a cash buyer will close on.
Every cash buyer, Tony included, starts from the same three numbers: what the house would sell for fully renovated, what it costs to get it there, and how long that takes. The offer is that finished value minus the repairs, minus the buyer's resale costs and margin. In practice that lands most cash offers somewhere around 70–85% of the renovated value, less repairs. The honest comparison is not against a renovated house's list price — it is against what you would actually net from a NY listing after commission, repairs, and months of carrying costs.
| Line item | List with an agent | Sell to Tony |
|---|---|---|
| What the house would sell for fully renovated | $400,000 | $400,000 |
| Repairs a retail buyer's lender will demand | − $45,000 | Tony's problem |
| Agent commission (5–6%) | − $20,000 to $24,000 | $0 |
| Inspection credits, seller closing costs, concessions | − $8,000 to $12,000 | $0 |
| Taxes, insurance, mortgage, utilities while you wait (3–6 months) | − $9,000 to $15,000 | $0 |
| Time to cash in hand | 4 to 7 months | 7 to 14 days |
| What you actually walk away with | ≈ $305,000 to $318,000 | Tony's number, in full, on your date |
Whether Tony's number beats that listing net depends on the house. On a move-in-ready home in a hot NYmarket it usually will not, and Tony will tell you to list. On a house that needs work, has tenants, sits in an estate, or carries violations — the houses retail buyers cannot finance — it is often close, and the seven-day timeline is the difference.

Yes. Tony has bought hundreds of tenant-occupied properties in NJ and NY. The tenant doesn't need to leave before closing. Tony handles them after.
Tony buys it anyway. Non-paying tenants, partial-paying tenants, tenants in eviction proceedings — none of it kills the deal. The unpaid rent is the previous landlord's loss, not the deal's.
No. The lease and tenant transfer with the property at closing. Tony becomes the new landlord. The tenant doesn't need notice from you.
Tony buys Section 8 properties. The voucher and HUD contract transfer with the property. Tony's team handles the HUD paperwork after closing.
Doesn't matter. Tony takes the lease as part of the property. By NJ and NY law the lease binds the new owner — but that's Tony's problem, not yours.
Yes. Aluminum siding over rotted clapboard, a sagging rear extension, a cellar apartment that was never legal, three tenants paying three different rents — that's a normal Bushwick purchase for Tony. He doesn't need it vacant, cleaned, or repaired. He gives one number on the phone and closes with the tenants still in it.
Yes. Stop-work orders, ECB penalties, and open DOB violations transfer with the property, and Tony deals with them after closing. Any penalty that has become an actual lien is paid from the proceeds at the table. You don't need to hire an expediter or finish the job first.
Yes — all of ZIP 11237, the Bushwick side of 11221, and the 11206 blocks near Flushing Avenue. Frame houses off Knickerbocker and Wyckoff, walk-ups on the Broadway corridor under the J/Z, and converted lofts near Morgan Avenue. If it's between Flushing Avenue and the cemetery, he'll give you a number.
Every owner has to sign, so nothing closes until your brother does — but a firm cash number from Tony often gets a silent co-owner to the table. If he still won't engage, a partition action in Kings County Supreme Court can force a sale, and Tony will buy at that sale or from the referee. Tony's attorney can explain the steps; the offer waits.
