We Understand What You're Going Through

📜

AB 1482 Caps Your Rent Income

California's AB 1482 limits annual rent increases to 5% plus CPI (capped at 10%) for most Long Beach rentals. Meanwhile, insurance, maintenance, and taxes rise uncapped.

📹

Long Beach Just Cause Eviction Means Problem Tenants Stay

You can't evict a tenant simply to sell. You need qualifying just cause, legal procedures, and — for no-fault terminations — relocation assistance of $4,500–$19,500.

🔧

Deferred Maintenance Is Compounding

Roofs, plumbing, HVAC, electrical panels — deferred maintenance on rental properties compounds over time into major capital expenditures.

💰

Insurance Premiums Have Skyrocketed

California landlord insurance premiums have increased 40–80% since 2020. Many carriers have left the Long Beach market, particularly for older properties.

📊

The Math No Longer Works

Between rising costs, capped rents, vacancy risk, and maintenance — your cap rate has likely dropped significantly from when you originally purchased.

How Jay Buys Houses helps

Here's Exactly How We Help

We buy with tenants in place — no eviction required

We purchase Long Beach rentals with existing tenants. You walk away. We handle all post-closing tenant matters — notice requirements, relocation assistance, lease transfers.

Cash offer within 24 hours, close in 7–21 days

No financing contingencies, no appraisals, no lender delays. We move fast. Your rental burden ends as soon as you're ready.

We buy every property type

Single-family rentals, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, ADUs — we buy all of them. Multi-unit properties often receive strong offers because the income stream adds value.

Deferred maintenance is not your problem

Every deferred repair, every code violation, every aging system — we factor it into our offer and handle it after closing. You spend nothing.

1031 Exchange coordination available

If you're reinvesting in another property, we work with your qualified intermediary and match your 45-day identification and 180-day exchange deadlines.

Local expertise: Long Beach's rental market is unique: 59% of housing units are renter-occupied, and the city has enacted some of California's most aggressive tenant protections. We navigate Long Beach's specific Just Cause ordinance, relocation assistance requirements, and LBMC rules that apply to your rental.

★★★★★

"I owned a rental in West Long Beach for 22 years. My tenant stopped paying during COVID and Long Beach's eviction protections made it nearly impossible to remove her. Jay bought the house with her still living there. I didn't have to file a single notice. Best real estate decision of my life."

Common questions

Questions About Your Situation

Yes — this is one of our most common Long Beach purchases. We specialize in tenant-occupied properties. We buy with tenants in place, take on the tenant relationship after closing, and you walk away without filing any eviction notices or paying relocation assistance.
Leases run with the property. When we close, we take over as the new landlord subject to all existing lease terms. Security deposits, last month's rent, and lease documents all transfer to us through escrow.
That's a question for your CPA — we can't give tax advice. We can tell you that we regularly coordinate with 1031 qualified intermediaries to match exchange deadlines. If a 1031 exchange is your plan, tell us on the first call so we can structure the closing timeline correctly.
