For many homeowners, the period between purchasing a property and obtaining permits for demolition and reconstruction can feel like a financial drain. The property sits unused and will potentially incur costly empty-homes taxes. There is, however, a smarter way to approach this waiting period: renting your pre-demolition house to specialists who manage these teardown housing solutions. This is where we come in.
By turning your unused property into an interim income generator, you can not only cover costs but also contribute to your future build. Here’s why renting your pre-demolition home to professionals in this niche market is a win-win solution.
Guaranteed Income
Renting your property to us ensures a reliable income stream during the waiting period. Sunwise Property has systems in place to secure tenants quickly and manage leases efficiently. The rental income you receive can be used to cover property taxes, other bills, or even saved and re-invested into your upcoming construction project. Guaranteed rent provides peace of mind, especially when you’re managing other aspects of your build.
No Headaches
One of the biggest advantages of working with pre-demolition specialists is the hands-off approach we offer. From tenant screening to property management, Sunwise Property handles all the details so you don’t have to. Unlike renting directly to long-term tenants, which can come with maintenance requests and disputes, we provide short-term or transitional housing for people who understand the temporary nature of the arrangement. And we guarantee an exit-strategy so that no single tenant overstays. That means fewer hassles for you.
No Costs
Worried about upfront expenses like repairs or staging? Sunwise Property will take properties in "as-is" condition. We work with tenants who are comfortable with functional but less-than-perfect homes. This eliminates the need for costly renovations, allowing you to save money while still generating income. We will make the necessary minor adjustments ourselves to make the property livable, saving you time, money and effort.
Money Toward Your Future Build
Every dollar earned from renting your pre-demolition home is a dollar you can put toward your dream home. Whether it’s funding permits, securing contractors, or purchasing high-quality materials, the income from temporary rentals can provide meaningful financial support for your project. Instead of letting the property sit idle, you can actively contribute to your construction budget and reduce the financial strain.
Additional Benefits of Renting to Pre-Demolition Specialists
Avoiding Empty-Homes Taxes: Many cities impose hefty taxes on vacant properties. Renting out your home ensures it remains occupied, helping you sidestep these penalties.
Flexibility in Lease Agreements: We understand the timeline of permit approvals can be unpredictable. We're accustomed to flexible lease terms that align with your demolition schedule, offering both convenience and adaptability.
Support for the Community: By providing affordable, shorter term housing, you’re helping individuals or families in need of transitional accommodation. This can include people relocating for work, students, or families seeking a temporary home.
Efficient Use of Resources: Instead of letting your property deteriorate, renting it out ensures it remains functional and maintained until it’s time for demolition.
Renting out your pre-demolition house to specialists in teardown housing solutions is a savvy financial move that offers guaranteed income, eliminates stress, and reduces costs. Instead of letting the property sit idle, you can transform it into a valuable asset that contributes directly to your future build. With no headaches, no upfront expenses, and plenty of flexibility, this approach allows you to maximize the potential of your property while waiting for permits.
So, why let your pre-demolition house go to waste? Partner with Sunwise Property and turn this transitional period into an opportunity for growth and financial stability.
