Can Tony really buy my Hempstead 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 Nassau 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 Nassau 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 ranch property Tony has bought in Hempstead.
Nassau County is inner Long Island: Hempstead, North Hempstead, Oyster Bay. Levittown ranches, Long Beach co-ops, and Great Neck/Manhasset estates all part of Tony's Nassau pipeline.
Nassau County tax rates are 2.0-2.8%; assessment grievance is common given the elevated rates.

Here's how Tony handles tenants on a Nassau County rental purchase. Before closing: the tenant doesn't need to know you're selling. Tony doesn't tour the property; the tenant's day-to-day doesn't change. At closing: the deed transfers to Tony, the lease (if there is one) transfers with the property by Nassau County law. After closing: tenant pays rent to Tony or — if it's a problem tenant — Tony's team handles eviction or relocation legally and professionally. You're done; you walk away with the cash.
Hempstead Town stretches across most of central Nassau. Tony buys capes, ranches, and splits in every village and unincorporated section. Hempstead Village itself is 1920s–40s frames and capes plus garden apartments and six-story buildings along Fulton and Front Streets; the surrounding hamlets — Uniondale, Roosevelt, East Meadow, Baldwin, Levittown — are 1950s capes, ranches, and splits on 60-by-100 lots, most with a dormer or extension added somewhere along the way.
Hempstead-area sellers call Tony after a parent's passing leaves a 1950s cape in Uniondale or Roosevelt with three heirs, a mortgage in default, and a finished basement the Town never permitted. Nassau's high taxes push out fixed-income seniors who can no longer carry $12,000 a year on a paid-off house, and the county's annual tax-lien sale turns one missed year into a compounding problem. Some owners are landlords with a Hempstead Village two-family in Nassau Landlord-Tenant court. Tony buys the cape with the illegal basement, the house in default, and the occupied two-family, and gives one number on the phone that closes on your date.
Hempstead sellers pay the 0.4% New York State transfer tax; on sales of $1 million or more the buyer pays the state mansion tax, which is Tony's cost. The usual Long Island closing snag is the Certificate of Occupancy: the Town of Hempstead Building Department must have records for every dormer, extension, deck, and finished basement, and a bank buyer will demand you legalize them — Tony buys "as-is C of O" for cash and takes that on himself. Deeds record with the Nassau County Clerk in Mineola, where Nassau Surrogate's Court also sits.
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 — Hempstead Village (11550) and Uniondale, Roosevelt, West Hempstead, East Meadow, Baldwin, Freeport, Levittown, Elmont, Valley Stream, and every other village and hamlet in the Town. Capes, ranches, splits, colonials, two-families, and co-ops. One call with the address gets you a number.
Yes. Missing certificates of occupancy for extensions, dormers, decks, and basements are the single most common issue on Long Island houses, and Tony buys them as they are. A bank would make you legalize or remove the work before closing; Tony pays cash and deals with the Town of Hempstead Building Department after he owns it.
Yes. Whether the lien has been sold at Nassau's annual tax-lien sale or not, the arrears — plus any lienholder's interest — are paid off from the proceeds at closing. You don't need to catch up first. Tony's offer accounts for the payoff, and closing in about a week stops the interest from growing.
As soon as the court issues letters to the executor or administrator, Tony signs a contract and closes once title is clear — often within one to two weeks. Heirs out of state sign with a local notary and get wired. If the petition is still pending, Tony's attorney can tell you what the court needs, and the offer waits without expiring.
