Affordable homes for America.
Settle Houses buys, renovates, and either rents or resells single-family and small multifamily homes across the country — turning distressed inventory into quality homes for hardworking families.
We take on the homes the market leaves behind.
Many real estate funds compete with individual buyers for move-in-ready homes. We take a different approach — focusing on distressed properties that traditional banks won't finance and retail buyers can't take on.
What we buy
Single-family and small multifamily homes from $60k–$300k that need renovation. Because most banks won't finance distressed inventory, we're not competing with retail buyers.
Where we buy
We buy in select markets — Buffalo, Birmingham, Middle Georgia, and Kansas City — where affordable housing is needed most.
How we move
We buy in any condition and can close in as little as two weeks. Most purchases are made sight-unseen when the photos tell us enough.
Quality, affordable housing for families across America.
By transforming homes that would otherwise sit vacant, we reduce neighborhood blight and return them to use — as high-quality, affordable rentals or move-in-ready homes for sale.
Every house we renovate is one more family that gets a place they can proudly call home — and one more block on its way back.
Markets we know block by block.
We concentrate in a handful of markets where demand for quality affordable housing outpaces supply — and where a renovated home makes the biggest difference to a neighborhood.
