We buy houses across Van Nuys and the central Valley
From the Van Nuys Boulevard civic center to the Sherman Way and Victory Boulevard corridors, from the Kester Avenue neighborhoods to Valley Glen, Lake Balboa, and Panorama City, Propcash buys houses and small rental buildings throughout Van Nuys and the surrounding San Fernando Valley.
Propcash also buys houses in Tarzana and San Pedro, across Los Angeles, and throughout California.
A dated Valley house or an old building? Not a problem.
Van Nuys was built out fast after the war, and much of its housing, from single-story tract homes to 1950s apartment courts, still carries its original systems. We expect that. We buy houses and buildings that need real work all the time, and you fix nothing before closing.
-
Soft-story apartment buildings
Tuck-under parking under living space that needs a seismic retrofit, we take that on
-
Original wiring and old plumbing
Fuse panels, aluminum or cloth wiring, and galvanized pipe in a postwar home, we factor it in
-
Northridge-era cracks and cripple walls
Foundation settling and framing cracks from the 1994 quake are common here and no dealbreaker
-
Unpermitted garage or add-on units
A converted garage or a bootleg back unit that a lender will not touch, we buy as-is
-
Tenants still living there
Do not wait out the lease under RSO. Sell an occupied duplex or building as it is
Illustrative estimates for a postwar Van Nuys home or small building, not real quotes. Money you keep by selling as-is. Your numbers will differ.
Understanding Van Nuys's real estate market
The Valley's affordable, in-demand center
Van Nuys is one of the more attainable places to own inside Los Angeles, which is exactly why demand for it stays strong. Renters and buyers priced out of the Westside and the hillside Valley look here, and that keeps a real audience of cash buyers, including Propcash, interested in Van Nuys houses and buildings even when they are dated or occupied.
A landlord's neighborhood under RSO
Few parts of the Valley have as many older rental buildings as Van Nuys. The city's Rent Stabilization Ordinance and just-cause eviction rules protect tenants but make it slow and costly for an owner to deliver a vacant building, which is one big reason tired Van Nuys landlords sell with tenants still in place. We buy occupied, so you skip that entirely.
Postwar stock and the Northridge legacy
Most of Van Nuys went up in the building boom after World War II, so a large share of its homes and apartment courts predate modern codes. Many still carry original systems, and the 1994 Northridge earthquake, centered nearby, left cripple-wall and soft-story issues that owners have carried for years. Those are the exact homes financed buyers struggle to close on, and the ones we buy as-is.
Why entry-level does not mean lowball
Los Angeles homes sold for a median near $1.0 million over the three months ending April 2026, at about $637 per square foot (Redfin, April 2026), and LA County's typical home value was $888,345 in March 2026 (Zillow ZHVI, March 2026). A Van Nuys house prices below those citywide numbers, but a more affordable home is not a reason to take the first low figure a sign buyer throws out. We build our offer from local comparable sales and show you the work behind it.
A direct cash homebuyer is a company that purchases houses itself, with its own funds, rather than listing them for sale or finding buyers on a seller's behalf. Propcash is a direct cash homebuyer: we make the offer, we are the buyer, and the seller pays no commissions or fees. Sellers skip repairs, listings, and showings, and pick their own closing date.
Common situations we help Van Nuys homeowners navigate
Whatever brought you here, Propcash can make you a fair cash offer.
Done being a Valley landlord
An older Van Nuys duplex or apartment court under RSO is hard and slow to deliver vacant. If you are tired of managing it and chasing repairs, sell with tenants in place. No eviction required first.
Facing a soft-story retrofit
Your 1960s building has tuck-under parking and a retrofit order hanging over it. Rather than spend the money and time, sell the building as-is and let us handle the seismic work after closing.
Inherited a Valley home
You inherited a Van Nuys house from a parent. Between LA probate that can run 12 to 18 months and Prop 19 reassessment, keeping it gets complicated. We buy inherited and probate homes as-is and can wait for the court.
Postwar house needs everything
Original wiring, a settled foundation, an old roof, a dated kitchen. Financed buyers walk away from these homes. We expect the work and price it into a fair offer, so you fix nothing.
Behind on mortgage payments
Falling behind can put a house on the road to foreclosure. A fast cash sale can help you pay off the loan before the trustee's sale and protect your equity. We know how the California timeline works.
Divorce or estate settlement
When a home has to be divided quickly and fairly, a transparent cash offer helps. We show you how we got to our number, and a certain, fast close lets everyone move forward.
The Propcash Promise
We don't believe in high-pressure sales tactics. Here's how we put that commitment into action for Van Nuys sellers.
No expiration date
Take all the time you need to consider an offer, we'll never push a hard deadline.
No aggressive follow up
We follow up on your schedule. We'll never send unsolicited marketing emails, drip campaigns, or phone blasts.
We'll tell you if we're not the right buyer
If listing with an agent would serve you better, we'll point you to a local agent. We're always straightforward and transparent.
Frequently asked questions about selling in Van Nuys
Why do cash buyers want older Van Nuys houses and apartment buildings?
Van Nuys sits at the center of the San Fernando Valley, and its postwar houses and older apartment buildings hold steady rental demand in one of the country's tightest housing markets. Cash buyers, including Propcash, want these properties because there is a real audience to hold and update them. For you as a seller, that means genuine interest in your house or building even if it is dated or occupied.
What parts of Van Nuys do you buy in?
We buy throughout the 91405, 91406, 91411, and 91401 areas: the Van Nuys Boulevard and Sherman Way corridors, the Kester Avenue neighborhoods, Valley Glen, Lake Balboa, and out toward Panorama City. Houses, duplexes, and small apartment buildings across the central Valley.
Can I sell my Van Nuys apartment building or duplex with tenants still living there?
Yes. Van Nuys has one of the Valley's largest stocks of older rental buildings, and Los Angeles RSO and just-cause eviction rules make it slow and expensive to deliver a vacant unit. We buy tenant-occupied houses and buildings, so you can sell without waiting out leases or starting evictions.
My building is a soft-story with tuck-under parking. Can you still buy it?
Yes. Many Van Nuys apartment buildings from the 1950s and 1960s have ground-floor parking under living space, which puts them in Los Angeles's soft-story seismic retrofit program. A required retrofit is costly and can stall a traditional sale. We buy these buildings as-is and take the retrofit on ourselves.
My postwar house has original wiring and some cracks from the Northridge era. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Plenty of Van Nuys homes from the 1940s and 1950s still have original electrical, aging plumbing, and settling or cripple-wall cracks that trace back to the 1994 Northridge earthquake, whose epicenter was in the nearby Valley. Financed buyers often walk away from these homes. We build the cost of the work into our offer, so you fix nothing.
How fast can you actually close on a Van Nuys property?
Speed is one of the main reasons owners call us. We can close in as few as 7 days through a California title company, against a Los Angeles listing that took a median of roughly 52 days just to reach contract in spring 2026 (Redfin, April 2026) before escrow even started. If you would rather take longer to move tenants or settle an estate, you set the date.
Are there really no fees or commissions?
None. There are no agent commissions, which usually run 5 to 6 percent of the price in Los Angeles, no closing costs passed to you, and no junk fees. Selling to Propcash is free, so the number you accept is the number you walk away with.
How is Propcash different from the "we buy houses" signs around Van Nuys?
A lot of them lead with one low number and count on you not checking it against anything. Propcash is a direct cash homebuyer that prices from local Valley data and walks you through exactly how we reached the figure. Nothing is binding, so if the offer is not right for you, you can decline.
What happens after I submit my property information?
Usually within 24 hours we study your home against local market data and send a fair cash offer. Someone on our team explains the figure and answers your questions. If you accept, we set closing around your schedule, and if you do not, that is fine too. Nothing is owed at any point.
I inherited a Van Nuys home. Will Proposition 19 raise the taxes, and can you still buy it?
Often we can help. Under Proposition 19, an inherited Los Angeles home is usually reassessed to current market value unless an heir makes it a primary residence, which can raise the property tax sharply for a family that keeps it as a rental. Full LA County probate also commonly runs 12 to 18 months. We buy inherited and probate homes as-is and can wait for the court. This is general information, not legal or tax advice, so confirm the details with your advisor.
