Various types of properties we buy in the Tampa Bay area
We have a great reputation as a premier house-buying company in the Tampa Bay area, but we also buy other types of property. Aside from various residential properties, we also purchase some commercial properties. We have the experience and ability that comes from being in business nationwide since 1996 to help sellers get a hassle-free, streamlined process with a fast offer. Let’s look at the various kinds of properties we buy and explain the selling process for each of them.
We Buy Ugly Houses® purchases a wide array of properties.
We Buy Ugly Houses is interested in many types of residential properties, including single-family houses, duplexes, townhouses, and trailer homes. We also sometimes buy commercial real estate.
- Single-family houses: These residential properties are ideal for families. They offer privacy in the form of outdoor areas for play and entertainment, and they aren’t attached to other buildings. Owners of houses enjoy being able to make changes to their homes to suit their tastes and needs, and many consider it the ideal piece of real estate to call home.
- Townhouses: Popular in cities where they don’t take up much room, these structures have two or more floors and share walls with units on either side. End townhouses usually sell for a higher price since they only share one wall, but sharing walls keeps down the cost of heating and cooling. There are often shared spaces for residents to enjoy.
- Duplexes: Duplexes became popular after WWII due to the housing shortage. They often have two units side by side in one house, but can have up to four units (tri-plex or quad-plex), each with their own entrance. These types of residences are less expensive than typical stand-alone homes and offer unique advantages. For example, some people buy a duplex, live on one side, and rent out the other. The other unit can also be used as an office or an Airbnb.
- Multi-tenant buildings: Apartment buildings, also known as multi-tenant or multi-family homes, are often found in cities due to their efficient land use. Often, they are a combination of apartment rental units, offices, and retail units on the ground floor, which makes them mixed-use buildings. You’ll find many multi-tenant buildings in the heart of Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Sarasota.
- Condominiums: Often called “condos” for short, these structures are residential buildings which have shared walls, and the units are individually owned. They often have amenities such as game rooms and pools that all residents can enjoy. Homeowners associations (HOAs) perform maintenance on the exterior of the building, shared areas, and grounds. Dues to the HOA are usually paid monthly. Seniors and others who don’t want to be tied down to yard work or house maintenance are typical residents.
- Commercial properties: This type of real estate is typically used for service-related businesses, office space, restaurants, and stores. Contact us if you want to sell your commercial property in Tampa, St. Petersburg, or Sarasota. Our buying interest in commercial properties is driven by what our local property buyers are in the market for.

What we look for when buying real estate
We Buy Ugly Houses looks at a few things when we buy property, including the following:
- Market value: We look at the value of current real estate in the immediate area, whether in Courier City-Oscawana in Tampa, downtown St. Petersburg, the suburbs of Sarasota, or elsewhere.
- Condition: Whether your house only needs some cosmetic updates, or requires major repairs like a leaking roof or foundation damage, we can help. We’re a great option if you want to sell a rental house that’s in disrepair or an inherited house that needs updates.
- Location: We’re interested in properties all throughout the Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Sarasota areas, including suburbs like Carrollwood, Bradenton, and Ruskin.
Tailored solutions for every unique property
No matter what type of property you’re selling in Tampa Bay, our streamlined, simple process is the same, with only minor tweaks.
- Single-family houses: Many people sell their houses to us to avoid the hassles of selling a house the traditional way through a real estate agent, among other reasons. We use our fast and easy process no matter what type of properties we buy in Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Sarasota. When we buy houses, we look at the location and the current local housing market statistics. We also figure in the cost of making repairs and updates when we make our offer.
- Townhouses and condos: When buying a townhouse, we go through the same steps as when buying a house, but we also consider the HOA and look at the amenities and common areas, while analyzing exterior maintenance. You can relax knowing you’re in good hands when you sell to us.
- Duplexes and multi-family homes: Rental history, condition, and location are things we look at when buying duplexes and other multi-family properties. Since our property buyers are real estate experts, they can give sellers fast offers based on local real estate stats. We have over 29 years of buying experience nationwide and the know-how to buy property that has current renters, resulting in a hassle-free sale.
- Multi-tenant buildings: The lease history and condition of a multi-tenant building is important, as is the location and real estate forecasts for the neighborhood. If the building is behind on maintenance and repairs, remember that we buy houses and buildings “as is,” so there’s no need for you to make updates.
- Commercial properties: If you would like to sell some commercial real estate, contact us, as not all of our property buyers buy commercial buildings. There are various challenges when buying a commercial property that aren’t present when buying residential property, such as development and zoning. If we buy your commercial property, rest assured that we have the resources to provide excellent service and a stress-free sales process. Our amazing seller reviews say it all.
Simply contact us to set up an easy, friendly, no-obligation consultation. One of our property buyers will look at your real estate, answer your questions, and can give you a fast offer, sometimes even on the same day. If you accept our offer, we will do our best to choose a closing date that’s convenient for you. If you need to close fast, we can sometimes do that in as little as 3 weeks.
