Can Tony really buy my Crown Heights 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 Crown Heights.
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%.

Tony has bought Kings County rentals with: tenants who hadn't paid in 6 months, tenants on month-to-month with no lease, tenants with year-long leases, Section 8 voucher tenants, students, multi-family situations where each unit has its own lease, even buildings with squatters. Each situation has a path. Tony handles them post-closing.
North of Eastern Parkway, Crown Heights is brownstone and limestone rows from the 1890s–1910s, much of it landmarked, with frame houses and small apartment buildings toward Atlantic Avenue. South of the parkway the stock turns to six-story pre-war elevator buildings on President and Union Streets, semi-detached brick 1920s–30s houses, and the large-family homes of the Lubavitch community around Kingston Avenue. NYCHA's Albany and Kingsborough Houses sit on the eastern edge.
The Crown Heights owners who call Tony are usually holding a house that is worth far more than the family ever imagined and can't figure out how to get it out of the estate. Three generations may be living in it, one apartment is rented to a longtime tenant paying a fraction of market rent, and the roof and boiler have been patched for twenty years. Some owners are dealing with a partition lawsuit from a sibling; others got a letter about the City's lien sale for unpaid water charges. Tony buys the building exactly as it stands, tenants included, and gives one number on the phone that doesn't change after an inspection.
Crown Heights sellers pay the NYC RPTT (1% up to $500,000, 1.425% above) and the 0.4% NYS transfer tax; Tony's offer is net of both. Buildings with six or more units built before 1974 are rent-stabilized and the tenants' status transfers unchanged — Tony doesn't need vacancies. Landmarked blocks in Crown Heights North carry Landmarks Preservation Commission rules for exterior work, which affect Tony's renovation later, not your sale now. Cash closing means no appraisal and no lender review of open violations.
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. Call 1-908-768-4759, get the number, and compare it yourself.

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, both, plus Weeksville and the blocks along Eastern Parkway. That covers ZIPs 11213, 11225, and the Crown Heights parts of 11216 and 11238. Landmarked brownstones north of the parkway, pre-war walk-ups and semi-detached bricks south of it, and condos and co-ops in the newer buildings on Franklin Avenue. If it's in Crown Heights, Tony gives you a number.
No. Tony buys occupied buildings all the time and prices the offer on the real rent roll, not a fantasy vacant number. The tenant's lease and stabilization status transfer to him at closing. You don't buy anyone out and you don't serve any notices — he becomes the landlord the day you get your wire.
Yes, and a cash offer often ends the fight. If all the co-owners agree to sell to Tony, the partition case can be settled and the proceeds split by the attorneys at closing. If it goes to a court-ordered sale, Tony can bid there too. Either way, one call gets each heir a real number to weigh against years of litigation.
Both. He buys condo units in the newer buildings and co-op apartments in the pre-war elevator buildings along Eastern Parkway and in Crown Heights South. Co-ops require board approval of the buyer, so those take a few weeks longer than a house — Tony submits the package himself and you don't pay a broker to shepherd it.
