What to Do With a Vacant or Abandoned Property

A vacant or abandoned property can quickly turn from asset to burden. Whether you’ve inherited it, moved out, or simply can’t maintain it anymore, an empty home comes with risks, responsibilities, and tough decisions.

At MG Property Bros, we help homeowners like you figure out the best way to handle unwanted or unoccupied properties—fast, safely, and without stress. Here's everything you need to know about your options.

Why Vacant Properties Become a Problem

Leaving a home vacant for too long can cause serious issues, including:

• Vandalism or squatting
• Water damage or mold from unchecked leaks
• City code violations or fines
• Declining property value
• Higher insurance premiums or policy cancellations
• Ongoing taxes, maintenance, and utility bills

If you're sitting on a vacant home, now’s the time to act before it becomes a bigger problem—or starts costing you more than it’s worth.

Common Reasons Homes Become Vacant or Abandoned

• Inherited property no one wants to keep
• Foreclosure or financial hardship
• Out-of-state owners or landlords
• Fire or storm damage
• Long renovation delays
• Divorce, illness, or relocation

No matter the reason, we’ve seen it—and we can help.

What Are Your Options?

1. Fix It Up and Sell Traditionally

If the home is in decent shape or you’re willing to invest in repairs, listing with an agent might get you top market value.
But:

• You’ll likely need to pay for repairs and clean-up
• You’ll face agent fees and closing costs
• The process could take months

Best for: Homes in good shape and sellers who aren’t in a rush.

2. Rent It Out

You could turn it into a rental and generate monthly income—but managing a vacant rental (especially from out of state) comes with:

• Tenant screening and ongoing maintenance
• Property management costs
• Liability risks
• Upfront repair expenses to make it “rent ready”

3. Sell It As-Is to a Cash Buyer

If you want a fast, simple exit from a vacant or distressed property, MG Property Bros can buy it as-is—no repairs, no clean-up, and no commissions.

We’ll:

• Make a fair, no-obligation cash offer
• Buy the home in any condition (even with code violations or trash inside)
• Handle all closing costs and paperwork
• Close in as little as 7 days

You don’t have to lift a finger—we take care of everything.
