We buy houses in NYC & Long Island — sell as-is, skip the repairs.
Inherited it, behind on payments, tired of tenants, or just don't want to fix it? Tell us about the property and we'll review it for a direct cash offer — no listings, no showings, no agent fees on a direct sale, and no obligation to accept.
- Any condition — sell it exactly as it sits
- Vacant, occupied, or tenant in place
- Close on a timeline that works for you*
- Local buyers — Queens to Suffolk County
*Every offer is subject to property and title verification. No offer is a guarantee of closing — we'll always tell you exactly where things stand.

Two minutes. We'll review the property and call you back to talk through your options — including whether listing it would actually pay you more.
Your details are ready to send
This page can't submit forms on its own, so pick how you'd like to reach us — call us and read it off, open it in your email app, or copy it. We respond to every call at 929-257-1537.
Three steps. No listings, no open houses, no fixing anything.
A traditional sale can mean months of repairs, showings, and fees before you see a dollar. A direct sale works differently:
Tell us about the property
Fill out the form above or call 929-257-1537. We'll ask about the property's condition, your timeline, and what matters most to you. Ten minutes, no pressure.
We review it & make an offer
We look at comparable sales, the repairs the property needs, and what an investor can pay — then walk you through a real number and exactly how we got there. No obligation to accept.
Pick your closing date
If the numbers work for you, we handle the paperwork through a licensed NY attorney and title company, and close on a date you choose — fast when you need it, later when you don't.*
If it's a house in NYC or on Long Island, we want to see it.
Condition matters far less than location and numbers. Fire damage, hoarder houses, bad tenants, code violations — we've heard it all, and none of it disqualifies a property.
Property types
- Single-family homes — 1,000+ sq ft preferred
- Legal two- and three-family homes — 1,500+ sq ft preferred
- Small multifamily — 2,000+ sq ft preferred
- Estate & probate properties
- Select redevelopment opportunities
Conditions we buy in
- Fixer-uppers — cosmetic to full gut renovations
- Vacant or abandoned properties
- Occupied — including problem tenants
- Distressed — violations, liens, tax or mortgage arrears*
- Off-market properties not listed anywhere
However you got the house, there's a clean way out of it.
Most of the people who call us aren't in a rush because of the money — they're tired of the situation. If any of these sound familiar, a direct as-is sale is worth pricing out.
Inherited a property
Probate is slow enough without managing a house you never planned to own. We buy estate properties as-is — leave whatever you don't want behind.
Facing foreclosure
Selling before the process runs its course can protect your credit and put cash in your pocket instead of handing the house to the bank. Timing matters — call early.*
Too many repairs
Roof, plumbing, foundation, full gut — when the repair estimate is bigger than your appetite for contractors, sell it to someone whose business is the renovation.
Tired landlord
Non-paying tenants, midnight maintenance calls, NYC and Long Island regulations — if the rental stopped being worth it, we can buy it with the tenants in place.
Vacant & costing you money
An empty house still gets tax bills, insurance, and violation notices — and it attracts the wrong kind of attention. We take it off your hands as it sits.
Life changed
Divorce, relocation, a job across the country, downsizing after decades in the same house — when the timeline is the problem, a direct sale removes the uncertainty.
Bring us a deal. Or let us bring them to you.
Wholesalers: if you have a property under contract in our buy box, send it over — we work with active buyers across all seven areas and we're serious about joint ventures. Cash buyers: tell us your criteria and you'll hear about off-market inventory before it circulates.
| Property types | Single-family, legal 2–3 family, small multifamily, fixer-uppers, estate sales, vacant & distressed properties |
|---|---|
| Size (NYC) | 1,000+ sq ft single-family · 1,500+ sq ft two-family · 2,000+ sq ft multifamily preferred — smaller considered when the numbers work |
| Size (Long Island) | 1,000+ sq ft single-family · 1,500+ sq ft for larger renovation plays |
| Priority areas | Southeast Queens · Northeast Bronx · Suffolk County first, then Nassau, Brooklyn, and the rest of our coverage |
| Condition | Cosmetic to full-gut. Violations, arrears, and occupied properties considered case by case |
| How to send a deal | Address, asking price, ARV comps if you have them, repair estimate, photos, and your contract status. Call 929-257-1537 — we respond to every real deal. |
How we price — openly
No universal price ceiling. Every property is underwritten on its own after-repair value, renovation cost, and neighborhood demand:
That transparency cuts both ways: sellers see exactly how an offer was built, and wholesalers know a deal that fits the formula will get a fast, straight answer — yes, no, or what number works.
Where we buy
All five boroughs plus Nassau and Suffolk — with the deepest focus where sellers need us most and investor demand is strongest.

Don't see your neighborhood? If it's in NYC or on Long Island, call us anyway — this list is where we focus, not where we stop.
A local investor who also knows the retail market — because he's a licensed Realtor.
Living the Dream Properties LLC is the investment arm of Daechaun's real estate business, built for one job: buying houses directly from owners across New York City and Long Island, in any condition, without the listing process.
Because Daechaun is also a licensed New York real estate professional, you get something most "we buy houses" companies can't offer: an honest comparison. If your house would net you more listed on the open market — and you have the time and condition for it — he'll tell you that, and he can help you that way instead through his realtor business.
When Living the Dream Properties makes you an offer, it is acting as a principal buyer, not as your broker or agent. That distinction is always in writing, before you sign anything.
Why this site is separate from LTDpropertiesNY.com
Daechaun already had a realtor website — so why build a second one? Because these are two different businesses talking to two different people, and mixing them confuses both.
LTDpropertiesNY.com
For buyers and sellers who want the full retail market: list the house properly, market it, negotiate top dollar, and take the time a top-dollar sale takes. Brokerage services, agent representation, MLS exposure.
Visit LTDpropertiesNY.com →Living the Dream Properties
For owners who need the opposite trade: speed and certainty over top dollar. Sell as-is to a principal buyer, skip repairs and showings — plus a front door for wholesalers and cash buyers bringing deals.
