"As-is" with most buyers means "until the inspector finds something." With Tony in Troy, as-is means as-is — no inspection, no repair credits, no last-minute price drop. Same number on the phone, same number at the Rensselaer County closing.
The kind of two family property Tony has bought in Troy.
Rensselaer County is Troy — 1830s-1890s brownstones and row houses from its iron and collar-factory days, RPI and Russell Sage rentals, and Lansingburgh's 1900s two-families — plus the City of Rensselaer's Amtrak-station blocks, East Greenbush and North Greenbush suburbs, and hill-town farmhouses toward Grafton and Berlin. Regeneron's Rensselaer campus, RPI, and state jobs across the river drive demand.
Rensselaer effective rates run roughly 2.6-3.3% of full value; Troy city rates are the high end, suburban East Greenbush lower.

Tony has bought Rensselaer County houses with: cracked foundations, asbestos siding, knob-and-tube wiring, lead paint everywhere, mold in three rooms, raccoons in the attic, basements that flood every spring, additions built without permits. None of these stop the deal in Troy.
Troy brick row houses and multi-families along the Hudson are Tony purchases. Many haven't been updated since the mid-1900s — Tony buys them anyway. Downtown and Washington Park are 1840s–1890s brick rowhouses and Italianate townhouses, many cut into apartments; North Central and Lansingburgh are 1870s–1920s brick and frame two- and three-family flats with high vacancy on some blocks; South Troy is workers' housing from the ironworks era; and the Eastside, Sycaway, and Frear Park are 1920s–50s colonials, capes, and RPI-area rentals on the hill.
Troy sellers call Tony with a Lansingburgh or North Central three-family a parent bought in 1970 that has a tenant in City Court, a City codes order, and back taxes that Rensselaer County will eventually auction. Others are heirs to a Sycaway cape who now live in Florida, or landlords near RPI worn down by student turnover and inspections. Some own a downtown rowhouse they started renovating during the last River Street boom and couldn't finish. Tony buys the three-family occupied, the cape full of belongings, and the half-done rowhouse with its open permits — one number on the phone, closing on your date.
Troy sellers pay the 0.4% New York State transfer tax; Tony nets it into his offer. Rensselaer County closings run on an updated abstract of title, deeds record with the Rensselaer County Clerk in Troy, and estates go through Rensselaer County Surrogate's Court. Delinquent taxes lead to the County's annual tax-foreclosure auction or to the Troy Community Land Bank — a cash closing that pays the arrears stops that. City of Troy codes violations and rental-registry issues transfer to Tony at closing, and historic-district rowhouses carry exterior-work rules that affect his renovation, not your sale.
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.

Drop your number and Tony reaches out about your Troy property within an hour.
Correct. The number Tony quotes you on the phone is the number you walk away with. No inspection, no repair list, no credit deductions, no "after we got a closer look" surprises. As-is means as-is.
Tony buys it. Cracked foundations, settled walls, fire-damaged kitchens, flooded basements, mold throughout — all of it has been bought before. The offer reflects condition; the deal still happens.
Yes. Furniture, clothing, garbage, food in the fridge, the broken washer in the basement, the car in the driveway. Tony hauls it after closing. You don't lift a finger.
Knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized pipes, fuse boxes, ungrounded outlets — Tony has bought Troy-area houses with all of these. They're priced into the offer; they don't kill the deal.
Tony's offer reflects what it'll take to make the property re-sellable, plus a return. It's transparent. The cheaper your house is to fix, the better your offer. The worse the condition, the lower the offer — but the deal still happens.
Yes — all of Troy, ZIPs 12180 and 12182. Flats in Lansingburgh and North Central, rowhouses downtown and around Washington Park, workers' houses in South Troy, and colonials and capes on the Eastside, in Sycaway, and around Frear Park. Vacant, occupied, or boarded. One call with the address gets you a number.
Yes, with the tenant in place and the violation open. Troy Code Enforcement orders, rental-registry issues, and the eviction in Troy City Court transfer to Tony at closing. You don't need to make the repairs or finish the eviction. Tell him the units, the rents, and what was cited, and he gives you one number.
Usually, if the auction hasn't happened. Tony's title company orders the city, county, and school tax payoffs, the arrears come out of the proceeds at closing, and his cash closing in about a week typically beats the sale date. Whatever equity remains goes to you rather than being lost at the auction. Call as soon as the notice arrives.
Yes. Once Rensselaer County Surrogate's Court issues letters, Tony signs a contract with the executor or administrator, you sign the deed with a Florida notary, and your proceeds are wired. Tony buys the house with everything still inside, so you don't have to fly up in February to clean out a lifetime of belongings.
Save the repair money. Sell to Tony as-is. 1-908-768-4759. Troy cash buyer.
