The process

How it works

Three simple steps. No pressure, ever.

1

Tell us about the property

Address and a few details about your situation. Takes 60 seconds.

2

Get your cash offer

A fair, no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours.

3

Pick your closing day

Close in as little as 7 days — or on your timeline.

Your situation

The voucher checks come like clockwork. Everything else is on you.

The government portion of the rent arrives every month — that part works. What does not arrive is help with the inspections, the re-certifications, the repair lists, and the property management in between. If you are done being a Section 8 landlord in Cleveland, you do not have to unwind the tenancy to sell. We buy the house with your tenants in it, and their voucher is not affected.

Wise Revival, founded by Alberto Molina and Kyle Sowell, buys rental properties for cash across Ohio — single-family rentals, duplexes, and small properties — with tenants in place and exactly as they sit. No eviction first, no renovation, no showings scheduled around your tenants.

How we handle it

How Wise Revival buys your Section 8 rental

Tell us the address, the rent, and what the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA) pays each month. We make a fair cash offer within 24 hours based on the documented rent. At closing, the HAP contract is assigned to us and the housing authority updates its records — the payment simply starts coming to us. You do not need to end the tenancy, wait out the lease, or fix anything first.

Close in as little as 7 days, or on a date that works better for your plans. We handle the property from closing day forward — tenants, repairs, and all. There are no agent commissions and no fees from us, so the number you accept is the number you plan around.

Ohio information

How selling a house with Section 8 tenants works in Cleveland

Your tenant's voucher is administered locally by the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA). When you sell, the Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) contract is assigned to the buyer at closing — with the housing authority's change-of-ownership paperwork, the monthly government payment simply starts going to the new owner. Your tenant does not have to move, and the voucher is not affected by the sale.

Because the house has already been passing its housing authority inspections, a voucher-occupied rental is often the easiest kind of rental to sell: the rent is documented, the payment history runs through the housing authority, and the buyers who specifically want Section 8 rentals know exactly what they are getting. We buy these houses as-is, tenants in place, anywhere in Cuyahoga County, and we handle the transfer paperwork.

Important note: The information on this page is general information about Ohio law and process. It is not legal advice, and it is not a substitute for advice about your specific situation. Wise Revival is a home-buying company, not a law firm, and no one at Wise Revival is your lawyer or your real estate agent. Laws and timelines change, and lenders and courts handle cases differently. If you are behind on your mortgage, in foreclosure, or settling an estate, talk to a Ohio attorney, contact your mortgage servicer, or speak with a HUD-approved housing counselor — that help is free — before you sign anything, including with us.

Good to know

Common questions

 

Do my tenants have to move if I sell?

No. The lease and the HAP contract continue with the new owner. Your tenants keep their home, and their voucher is not affected by the sale.

What happens to the HAP contract?

It is assigned to the buyer at closing, and the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA) updates its records so payments go to the new owner. We handle the paperwork.

Do I need to wait until the lease ends?

No. We buy with the lease and the tenants in place — mid-lease included.

Can you buy if the house needs work?

Yes. We buy as-is. The house has been passing its housing authority inspections; anything beyond that becomes our problem after closing, not yours.

How fast can we close?

In as little as 7 days in most cases. The housing authority change-of-ownership paperwork is the only extra step, and we start it right away.
