You’ve Done
Enough.
We’ll Take It From Here.
Midnight calls. Bad tenants. Repairs that never end. Nickel City Buyers buys rental properties — occupied or vacant, single-family or multi-unit — across Buffalo and Western New York. Cash, fast, and with zero landlord headaches left for you to deal with.
Being a Landlord Was
Supposed to Be
an Investment,
Not a Second Job.
At some point the math changed. The rent stopped covering the repairs. The tenants became more work than the income was worth. The property that was supposed to build wealth started feeling like a liability you couldn’t figure out how to exit.
Selling a rental isn’t like selling a regular house. You have tenants with rights. You have lease agreements. You have deferred maintenance you’ve been ignoring. Agents don’t want to list it while it’s occupied. Traditional buyers don’t want the headache either.
Nickel City Buyers buys rental properties exactly as they stand — tenants in place, deferred maintenance and all. We’ve done it many times across Buffalo and WNY since 2013. We handle the transition. You walk away.
Furnace out at 11pm. Pipe burst at 2am. You’ve been on call for years with no end in sight.
Chasing rent every month. Partial payments. Excuses. The income you counted on isn’t reliable anymore.
The list keeps growing. Every fix reveals two more problems. You’ve put more in than you’ve gotten out.
Difficult tenants, property damage, noise complaints from neighbors. You didn’t sign up for this.
OBI notices you haven’t had time to address. Fines accumulating. The city on your back on top of everything else.
“The paperwork alone was a part-time job.“
Lease agreements. Maintenance requests. City notices. Contractor quotes. Rent receipts. We’ve bought from landlords who handed us a grocery bag of documents at closing and said — figure it out. That’s fine with us. We’ve seen it all.
Get My Cash OfferWe Buy All of It
You don’t need to evict your tenants before selling to us. We purchase occupied rental properties and handle the tenant transition ourselves after closing — in compliance with New York State law.
Tenants left the place trashed. Damage throughout, belongings left behind, repairs needed before it could even be shown. We buy it exactly as they left it — no cleanup required.
Two-family, three-family, small apartment building. We buy multi-unit properties across Buffalo and WNY — occupied, partially occupied, or fully vacant.
OBI violations for maintenance, habitability, or code compliance. We buy rental properties with outstanding city violations without requiring you to resolve them first.
The rental income stopped covering the mortgage or property taxes. Both can be paid off at closing from the sale proceeds — no upfront payment required from you.
Inherited a rental you never wanted to manage. We work with estate executors and attorneys — and we don’t require the tenants to be removed or the property fixed before closing.
Two Mailboxes.
Twice the Headaches.
We’ll Take Both.
Every Buffalo duplex landlord knows that feeling — two units, two sets of tenants, two sets of problems. Twice the maintenance calls, twice the rent collection, twice the city violations. We buy duplexes and multi-family properties across Buffalo and WNY regularly. Both units, occupied or not, exactly as they stand.

Rental Property FAQ — Buffalo NY
Do my tenants have to leave before you can buy?
No. We purchase occupied rental properties regularly. Tenants have rights under New York State law and we work within those rights — handling all required notifications and transition planning after closing. You do not need to begin eviction proceedings or ask your tenants to leave before selling to us.
What if my tenants have a current lease?
Existing leases transfer with the property. We evaluate the lease terms as part of our offer. Active leases don’t prevent us from buying — they’re just a factor in the transaction we manage after closing. You are not required to break any leases or negotiate with tenants before selling.
What if the tenants have damaged the property?
Tenant damage is one of the most common situations we encounter. We buy properties where tenants have left them in poor condition — holes in walls, damaged floors, broken fixtures, accumulated debris. We factor the repair costs into our offer and handle all remediation after closing. You don’t need to clean or repair anything.
Can you buy if there are open city violations on the rental?
Yes. We buy rental properties with outstanding OBI violations, habitability notices, and code compliance issues. We address violations as part of closing or on our timeline after taking ownership. Outstanding violations do not prevent us from making an offer or closing the transaction.
What if I’m behind on the mortgage or property taxes?
Both delinquent mortgages and delinquent property taxes can be resolved at closing from the sale proceeds. We work with your lender and Erie County to establish payoff amounts, satisfy liens, and close with a clear title. You don’t need to pay anything off before selling to us.
Do you buy duplexes and multi-family properties?
Yes — and we do it regularly across Buffalo and Western New York. Two-family, three-family, small apartment buildings — we evaluate each unit individually and make one offer on the full property. Partially occupied, fully occupied, or fully vacant — we buy all configurations.
How do you handle tenant notification after closing?
We manage all required notices under New York State Real Property Law — including any required notice of change in ownership and contact information for the new landlord. We handle the communication, the paperwork, and any tenant concerns after closing. Your relationship with the tenants ends at closing.
What areas of WNY do you buy rental properties in?
Our primary market is Erie County — Buffalo, Cheektowaga, Tonawanda, Amherst, Lackawanna, West Seneca, Hamburg, Orchard Park, Lancaster, Depew, Kenmore, and Williamsville. We also buy rental properties in Niagara County including Niagara Falls, Lockport, and North Tonawanda. Contact us for any WNY location.
