What Should You Do With an Old Rental in Tacoma WA?
Old rental properties can become more trouble than they’re worth. Between outdated systems, ongoing maintenance, and tenant turnover, you may be wondering: Should I keep it or sell it?
Here’s what most Tacoma landlords consider:
1. Renovate and Re-Rent
If your property’s in decent shape, you might make repairs and lease it again. However:
- Tacoma’s rental codes may require updates
- New appliances and safety features can be costly
- Market competition from newer units is high
2. Hold and Wait for Appreciation
This is a common play, but it has risks:
- Holding costs stack up — taxes, insurance, utilities
- Vacant homes in Tacoma can attract code issues or squatters
- Deferred maintenance gets worse (and more expensive)
3. Sell As-Is for Cash
For many tired landlords, this is the most stress-free option.
- Skip repairs and inspections
- No tenant hassles or cleanup
- Close quickly and walk away

About REI Branded Home Buyer
Real People. Real Stories. Real Solutions. We’re George and TJ — two regular guys who teamed up to create REI Branded Home Buyer, a local company with one simple mission: to help people sell their homes without stress, games, or pressure. We actually met at a local real estate meetup. A mutual friend randomly shouted, “Hey George, do you want to be this guy’s mentor?” George laughed and said, “Just give him my cell!” A coffee meeting later, and the rest is history. We've been working together ever since. Our passion for helping homeowners comes from personal experience. George was once homeless, so he deeply understands what it’s like to face housing uncertainty. TJ’s family went through a crisis and had to sell their home fast — with the help of a cash homebuyer. Those experiences shaped who we are and inspired us to create a company that treats people the way we wish we’d been treated. Let’s be real: the real estate world is full of shady companies, pushy salespeople, and sleazy homebuyers who care more about profit than people. We started REI Branded Home Buyer because we believe it should be the other way around — people first, profit second. We’re proud to call Spokane home. Our wives, Jenny and Michelle, love the slower pace of life here and all the outdoor beauty Washington has to offer. George and Jenny have two amazing daughters and two dogs — they love to travel and recently visited Japan to see their daughter abroad. TJ and Michelle are outdoor lovers through and through — backpacking, hiking, hunting, fishing, even rock climbing. Michelle’s become quite the mountaineer! If you’re thinking about selling a house — no matter the reason — we’d love to hear your story and see how we can help.
