Why Czech Village and New Bohemia owners choose Propcash
The twin districts on either side of the river just south of downtown, Czech Village and New Bohemia, are a dense mix of old cottages, converted rentals, and brick buildings that came back after 2008 as an arts and dining scene. If you are a landlord ready to cash out of a near-downtown rental, or an owner of an older house here, a cash sale is a clean exit.
- We buy tenant-occupied rentals, no eviction and no waiting for a lease to end
- We buy older near-downtown houses as-is, flood history and deferred repairs and all
- No obligation, so you can weigh our number against another year of management

We buy houses across the 52404 near south side
From Czech Village and 16th Avenue SW to New Bohemia, 3rd Street SE, and the NewBo City Market blocks, Propcash buys the older houses and rentals that fill the near south side.
Propcash also buys houses in other Cedar Rapids neighborhoods, so you can sell a Time Check or Northwest house, sell a historic Wellington Heights home, sell as-is in Oak Hill Jackson, and sell a Kenwood Park house. You can also sell your house fast across Cedar Rapids or anywhere in Iowa.
An old rental with years of wear? Still a yes.
Most of the housing here dates to the late 1800s and early 1900s and much of it has been rental or mixed-use for decades. Worn interiors, a landlord-grade kitchen, and flood history from 2008 are what we expect, and we buy without a repair.
-
Years of tenant wear
Scuffed floors, a tired kitchen and bath, a beat-up unit, we factor it in
-
Old cottage systems
Knob-and-tube, a fuse box, an aging furnace, galvanized plumbing, none of it stops us
-
Flood history from 2008
Water rose eight to eleven feet here in 2008; a rebuilt house does not scare us
-
Tenants still in place
Sell with the lease running, no eviction and no vacancy first
-
A cut-up or mixed-use building
Upper-floor units over a storefront, informal conversions, we still buy

Understanding the Czech Village and New Bohemia market
A historic immigrant district, rebuilt
Czech Village on the west bank and New Bohemia on the east grew up as a Bohemian immigrant commercial and residential district in the late 1800s, with brick storefronts, upper-floor units, and small houses. The area holds the Bohemian Commercial Historic District, listed on the National Register in 2002. In 2008 the flood put eight to eleven feet of water through most of it, and the district rebuilt into the NewBo City Market, museums, and a dining scene that has lifted values.
Why tired landlords sell here
The dense, older housing near downtown has been rental stock for generations, and rising redevelopment values give a landlord a real reason to cash out. Some owners inherited a rental cottage and never wanted to manage it; others are winding down after decades of turnover and make-readies. A cash sale takes the property off your hands with tenants in place, so you are not timing the sale around a lease or an empty unit.
Selling with tenants, cleanly
Iowa does not require you to evict or wait out a lease to sell to a cash buyer. We buy the property subject to the tenancy, honor the lease, and take over as the new owner. You skip the vacancy, the eviction, and the make-ready, and close on a date that fits the rest of your plans. We buy mixed-use and cut-up buildings, not just single houses.
What the numbers say
The typical Cedar Rapids home value is about $214,766 as of July 31, 2026 (Zillow Home Value Index, up 2.5% year over year), while Redfin separately reported a citywide median sale price of $206,887 in June 2026. An older near-south rental usually trades under those figures because of its condition and flood history. We price your specific property off recent local sales and show how we got there.
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 near-south owners navigate
Whatever brought you here, Propcash can make you a fair cash offer.
Done being a landlord
The turnover and the calls have run their course. Sell the rental with tenants in place and skip the last make-ready.
Cashing out on rising values
NewBo has lifted the area. Sell an older rental for cash while the near-south market is strong, without a long listing.
Inherited a cottage near the river
A family member's near-south house you never wanted to manage. Get a cash offer and sell it as-is, tenants and all.
House still carries 2008 history
A rebuilt cottage in the old flood footprint sells to us as it is, without another round of repairs.
Behind on payments
If a rental is behind, a fast cash sale can clear the loan before a sheriff's sale and Iowa's redemption clock.
Own a mixed-use building
A storefront with units above does not fit every buyer. We buy near-south mixed-use as-is.
The Propcash Promise
We don't believe in high-pressure sales tactics. Here is how we put that into action for Czech Village and New Bohemia 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 Czech Village
Can I sell my Czech Village or NewBo rental with tenants still in it?
Yes, and it is one of the most common situations we handle near downtown. Iowa does not require you to evict or wait out the lease to sell to a cash buyer. We buy the property subject to the tenancy and take over as the new owner, so you skip the vacancy and the make-ready.
Do you buy mixed-use buildings, not just houses?
Yes. The near south side has storefronts with units above and cottages converted into rentals. We buy mixed-use and cut-up buildings as-is, which is often a hard sale to a traditional buyer.
The building carries 2008 flood history. Does that stop the sale?
No. Water rose eight to eleven feet through much of Czech Village and New Bohemia in 2008, and many buildings were rebuilt. We buy houses and buildings with that history and price it in, rather than asking you to fix or disclose your way around a financed buyer's lender.
The rental has years of tenant wear. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Most of the housing here is a century old and has been rental for decades, so a tired kitchen, worn floors, and deferred maintenance are what we expect. We build those costs into our offer and handle the work after closing.
How fast can you close on a near-south property?
We can close in as few as 7 days through a local title company, or we can time the close around a lease or your own plans. You pick the date.
Are there really no fees or commissions?
Correct. No agent commission, no closing costs charged to you, no junk fees. Propcash is free for sellers, and the cash offer you accept is what you receive at closing.
How is Propcash different from other cash buyers near downtown?
Propcash is a direct cash homebuyer that prices your property off recent local sales and shows you how we got there, rather than leading with one lowball number. There is no obligation, so if the number does not work, you walk away.
Does Propcash buy houses throughout Czech Village, New Bohemia, and 52404?
Yes. Propcash is a direct cash homebuyer that buys across Czech Village, New Bohemia, and the 52404 near south side, from 16th Avenue SW to 3rd Street SE and the NewBo City Market blocks. We buy with our own funds, so there is no listing and no waiting on a buyer's financing.
