Can Tony really buy my Syracuse 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 Onondaga 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 Onondaga 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 two family property Tony has bought in Syracuse.
Onondaga County (Syracuse) housing stretches from older Eastwood and Westcott colonials to suburban Cicero and Clay. Snowbelt-related water and roof damage is common.
Onondaga tax rates average 2.5-3.0%.

What Syracuse 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.
Syracuse has affordable older homes across every neighborhood. Tony buys ones that need work, ones full of stuff, ones with tenants still in them. The stock is 1890–1930 frame houses — two-story singles and up-and-down two-family flats — plus American Foursquares on the Northside and Southside, 1920s bungalows and colonials in Eastwood, Tudors in Strathmore and Sedgwick, and student rentals around the University in Westcott. The Near Westside and Southside have high vacancy and many parcels held by the Greater Syracuse Land Bank.
Syracuse sellers call Tony with an Eastwood colonial a parent held for fifty years, an estate in Onondaga County Surrogate's Court, and heirs in Florida and Texas who don't want a winter of showings. Others own a Northside or Southside two-family with a tenant who stopped paying, a City codes violation, and back taxes that the City will eventually hand to the Land Bank. Some are landlords near the University tired of turnover, or owners who bought during the Micron excitement and can't finish the renovation. Tony buys the colonial with the belongings, the two-family occupied, and the half-finished flip as it sits — one number on the phone, closing on your date.
Syracuse sellers pay the 0.4% New York State transfer tax; Tony's offer is net of it. Onondaga County closings run on an updated abstract of title, deeds record with the Onondaga County Clerk downtown, and estates go through Onondaga County Surrogate's Court. The City of Syracuse forecloses on delinquent taxes and typically transfers those properties to the Greater Syracuse Land Bank rather than auctioning them, so a cash closing that pays the arrears is often the last chance to keep any equity. City rental registry and codes violations transfer to Tony at closing.
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.
All of Syracuse — ZIPs 13202 through 13224. Colonials and bungalows in Eastwood, Tudors in Strathmore and Sedgwick, flats and foursquares on the Northside and Southside, student rentals in Westcott, houses in Tipperary Hill and the Valley, and vacant or occupied houses on the Near Westside. One call with the address gets you a number.
Yes, if you call before the City completes foreclosure. Tony's title company orders the city and county tax payoffs, the arrears are paid from the proceeds at closing, and his cash closing in about a week keeps the house from going to the Land Bank with your equity gone. Once title has transferred, it's too late — so call when the notice arrives.
Yes, with the tenant in place and the violation open. Syracuse codes cases, rental-registry issues, and the eviction in Syracuse City Court all transfer to Tony at closing. You don't need to make repairs or finish the eviction. Tell him the units, the rents, and what codes cited, and he gives you one number.
Yes. Open permits, a gutted kitchen, and a contractor's lien are all things Tony has bought through. Liens are paid from the proceeds at closing and open permits become his to close out with the City. He prices the house on what's left to do, not on what you spent, and closes on your schedule.
