A small landlord is overwhelmed by the financial and emotional toll of a nightmare tenant who caused $25k in damage and stopped paying rent for 4 months, and is considering selling as-is to a cash buyer despite likely taking a loss.

Existing solutions either require large upfront capital for repairs, offer low prices for damaged properties, or involve lengthy and risky selling processes; there is no easy, fair-priced, hands-off service that handles tenant damage cleanup and property sale simultaneously.

Landlord Exit Pro

Cash offer in 24 hours with no cleanup required
Full renovation and eviction paperwork handling
Option to sell quickly or get a bridge loan for repairs and keep the property

Target Users: Small residential landlords (1-4 units) in the US who are burnt out by problematic tenants and want a hassle-free exit

Revenue Model: Flat 10-15% fee on the sale price (like a realtor commission) or a margin on the property purchase (buy low, fix, resell); premium for expedited service
