Done Being a New Braunfels Landlord? Sell Tenant-In-Place for Cash.
We buy single-family rentals, duplexes, and small multifamily across New Braunfels, Canyon Lake, and Comal County — tenants in place, leases assigned, no evictions required.
The Situation
What You're Facing
Owning rentals in New Braunfels sounded great when you bought — the I-35 corridor was booming, rents were climbing, and property values were up every year. But somewhere between insurance renewals, HVAC failures on Central Texas clay, tenant turnover, and the 2 AM plumbing calls, the math stopped working. If your Comal County rental portfolio has become more headache than income, you're not alone.
The classic exit — evict, rehab, list — sounds simple but rarely is. Texas eviction through the Comal County JP courts takes 30–60 days minimum, plus rehab time, plus MLS days-on-market that have stretched considerably as inventory has grown along the SA-Austin corridor. Add agent commissions and holding costs and the net proceeds shrink fast. There's a better option: we buy occupied.
We take the rental as-is with the current tenant and lease in place. No 30-day notice, no eviction filing at the New Braunfels JP court, no vacancy period. You assign the lease, we take over as landlord at closing, and the tenant never has to move. If the tenant is delinquent, has damaged the property, or is a full-blown problem tenant — we still buy. That's our specialty.
If the rental is also caught in probate, stuck in a divorce settlement, or facing foreclosure after a few missed payments, we handle those layers too. One cash offer covers everything.
Why People Sell
Why New Braunfels Homeowners Choose to Sell
Tenants Are Costing More Than They Pay
Late rent, damage claims, and turnover costs have flipped the property from cash-flow positive to negative. Every month you hold is money lost.
Deferred Maintenance Piling Up
Roof, HVAC, plumbing, and paint items you've been putting off will hit all at once. A cash sale transfers all of it to us.
Property Manager Fees Eating the Yield
New Braunfels PM fees plus leasing commissions plus repair markups drop already-thin margins into the red.
Out-of-Town Owner Fatigue
Managing a rental in Comal County from Houston, Dallas, Austin, or out of state stops being worth the return.
Portfolio Consolidation or Retirement
Winding down a small portfolio, moving to passive investments, or funding retirement — a clean cash exit resets the balance sheet.
1031 Exchange Wind-Down
If the rental was part of a 1031 chain and you're ready to stop deferring, we can close on your target date.
The Hard Parts
Challenges Homeowners Run Into
Tenants Who Won't Cooperate with Showings
You don't need showings. We inspect once, offer, and close. Tenant stays in place.
Delinquent Rent or Broken Lease
We buy occupied with the current lease and take on the collection or eviction risk ourselves after closing.
Property Damage from Current Tenants
We buy as-is. Existing damage, deferred maintenance, prior tenant messes — all built into the offer.
Comal County JP Eviction Timeline
Skip it. We take the tenant and the lease exactly as they are. Your paperwork ends at closing.
Multi-Unit and Duplex Properties
Small multifamily is our normal — duplexes and 4-unit properties throughout New Braunfels and Canyon Lake.
Older Rental Housing Stock
Original 1970s systems, aged roofs, foundation issues — we buy without repair contingencies.
Our Solution
How South Texas Home Investors Helps
South Texas Home Investors buys occupied rentals across New Braunfels and Comal County every month. We know the JP court districts, the local property management landscape, and the price points that make small SFR and multifamily deals work. Whether you own one house on the west side, a duplex near Landa Park, or a handful of doors in Canyon Lake, we can make a written cash offer without any tenant disruption.
We handle assignment of leases, security deposit transfers, and pro-rated rent at closing. If a tenant is delinquent, we buy with that risk priced in — you're not responsible for collections after closing. If the rental is caught up in an inheritance situation or has back property taxes on the Comal Appraisal District roll, we settle everything at the title company.

As-Is Advantage
Benefits of Selling As-Is
Local Knowledge · New Braunfels & Surrounding Areas
We Know the Neighborhoods You Live In
New Braunfels is one of the fastest-growing rental markets in Texas, but rising insurance premiums, deferred maintenance on older housing stock, and the JP-court eviction timeline have made a lot of landlords ready for an exit. We're the buyer that removes the tenant problem from your plate.
Rental Areas We Buy In
We buy SFR and small multifamily rentals across New Braunfels, Gruene, Canyon Lake (Startzville, Sattler), Bulverde, Garden Ridge, Cibolo, Schertz, and Seguin. From near-downtown duplexes to newer SFRs in Vintage Oaks and Havenwood.
County Coverage
Comal County JP Precinct 1–4 and Guadalupe County JP districts each have their own eviction timelines. Skip them entirely by selling to us occupied.
Local Property Values
New Braunfels SFR rentals typically trade $220k–$500k depending on condition and location. Duplexes and small multifamily run $350k–$900k. We make offers based on actual local rent rolls and comps.
Military Homeowners
Randolph AFB is a short drive south and many landlords in Cibolo, Schertz, and Garden Ridge originally acquired properties as military owner-occupants that later became rentals.
Inherited & Older Homes
Many New Braunfels rentals started as personal homes that were inherited or held after a move. Older housing stock frequently shows 20–40 years of deferred maintenance the current cash flow can't fund.
Local Market Conditions
New Braunfels rent growth has cooled and days-to-lease have stretched. Combined with insurance and property tax increases, marginal rentals have turned unprofitable. A clean cash exit resets the balance sheet.
Service Area
Service area: New Braunfels, Gruene, Canyon Lake, Startzville, Sattler, Spring Branch, Bulverde, Garden Ridge, Cibolo, Schertz, Seguin, Marion, and McQueeney.
“Two of my four rentals had tenants behind on rent and one had a fire-damaged bathroom I couldn't afford to fix. South Texas Home Investors bought all four in one closing, took the tenants, took the damage. I finally slept.”
