Tempe is landlocked, ASU-dominated, and uniformly built-out. Almost all our Tempe activity is in residential neighborhoods on the south side of Broadway, away from the campus density. North Tempe properties near the Lake and downtown have strong investor demand but limited inventory. We work the full city but our highest deal volume is south of US-60.
Market context: Tempe rentals are dominated by student-housing economics — different underwriting from family-occupied SFR. We tailor our offer based on whether the property is currently a rental or owner-occupied.

The process — Tempe-specific details
Tempe closings run through Maricopa County title companies with 10-14 day standard clearance. The quirk we see most in Tempe: duplexes and converted-to-rental SFRs near ASU where the permit record doesn't match what's on the ground (a converted garage bedroom, an added bathroom in the carport space). We pull permits from City of Tempe before issuing an offer and factor any open-permit exposure into our price rather than discovering it mid-escrow. Tempe also has specific rental licensing requirements — if there are active tenants, we verify the rental registration is current before close.
Who calls us in Tempe, and why
Tempe landlords call us after 10-15 years of student-tenant turnover — lease-end turnover damage, annual repaint, perpetual small-claims exposure. The house has cash-flowed, but the owner is done managing it. We buy with tenants in place, honor the remaining lease term, and cut the owner a check. The owner doesn't have to navigate vacancy timing or coordinate a sale around a lease expiration. We also get calls from long-tenured owner-occupants who bought in the 1980s and have no interest in a 60-day listing campaign with showings every weekend. Tempe's landlocked build-out means almost nothing new gets added — the housing is what it is, mostly 1960s-90s, and the value story is location: minutes from ASU, Sky Harbor, and the Loop 101/202/US-60 interchange that puts a seller's home inside reach of half the Valley's jobs. South of US-60 in the Kyrene corridor (the Corona del Sol feeder, neighborhoods off Warner and Elliot) we work owner-occupant downsizers. North toward Broadway, Apache Boulevard, and the Rural Road student belt we work tired landlords selling with tenants in place. Because Tempe caps and licenses rentals, and because so many near-campus properties have converted garages and added bedrooms that never got permitted, we pull the City of Tempe permit record before we ever quote — so an open permit surfaces in our diligence, not in the middle of your escrow.

Questions from Tempe sellers
Do you buy student rentals near ASU?
Yes — we'll honor existing leases and we don't disrupt tenants mid-term.
What about Tempe's STR rules?
Tempe has restricted short-term rentals more than most metro cities. We underwrite for long-term-rental income, not STR projections, so the rule changes don't affect our offers.
How fast can you actually close?
Typically 7-21 days. The driver of timing is title work — clearing liens, satisfying HOA dues, getting lender payoffs. If you're flexible, we'll match your ideal close date.
Do I pay any fees?
No. We pay normal closing costs (title fees, recording, escrow). What you sign for at closing is what you walk out with, minus any existing liens or mortgages against the property.
