The housing stock in Oshkosh

Oshkosh has some of the best surviving 19th-century housing in Wisconsin, particularly in the Irving and Near East neighborhoods, alongside a lot of plainer workforce housing built for the sash-and-door and lumber trades. The complicating factor is the university: a wide band of houses near campus was carved into student rentals decades ago and never carved back, so you get four-bedroom single-families with three kitchens and a bathroom in an odd place. Foundations, porches, and original wood windows are where the money hides.

Why Oshkosh sellers call us

Student-rental burnout is the defining Oshkosh seller situation. If you own a converted house near UW Oshkosh and you are done with turnover, damage, and August, that is a call we can close quickly.

Neighborhoods we buy in

All over Oshkosh, including:

  • Near East
  • Near West
  • Historic Irving
  • Menominee Park
  • Stevens Park
  • Downtown

We also buy throughout Winnebago County and across 21 Wisconsin counties.

How it works

Three steps in Oshkosh

1. Tell us about the house

The address and a rough idea of condition. We do not need photographs or paperwork to start.

2. We come and look at it

We walk the property in Oshkosh ourselves, then send a written cash offer within 24 hours with the math shown.

3. You pick the closing date

Seven days or three months, at a Wisconsin title company, with our On-Time Guarantee behind the date.

Common Oshkosh situations

Most people who call us are dealing with a situation, not just a house.

Relocating for work

A start date somewhere else and a house still sitting in Wisconsin.

Facing foreclosure

Wisconsin foreclosure runs through the circuit court, which usually means more time than people think.

Inherited a house

Probate, siblings, and a house full of a lifetime of belongings.

Going through a divorce

Two people, one house, and a need for a clean, dated, unambiguous ending.

Tired of being a landlord

Occupied, damaged, or simply not worth the phone calls anymore.

Oshkosh sellers ask us

I own a student rental near UW Oshkosh and I am done. Can you take it as it is?
Yes, and this is one of the most common calls we get from this county. Odd layouts, extra kitchens, bathrooms in strange places, a decade of turnover damage — we buy them exactly as they sit, and we can time the closing around the end of a lease if that is simpler for you.
The property is a cottage on the water that was never really built for winter. Is that a problem?
Not for us. Piecemeal winterisation is very common around Winneconne and Poygan and it is exactly the kind of construction that makes a financed appraisal difficult. We are not financing, so the appraisal is not our problem or yours.
Do you buy in Neenah and Menasha as well as Oshkosh?
Yes. The small doubles and side-by-sides in Menasha in particular are a property type we buy often, frequently from somebody who inherited one and lives out of state.
Where in Wisconsin do you buy?
Our home market is the Appleton and Green Bay area, and we buy across Wisconsin — 21 counties from Kenosha to St. Croix. See where we buy for your county.
Who actually is House Buyer Dan?
Dan and Diana Ahlborn, buying Wisconsin houses since 2010, based in Appleton. Not a call centre, not a lead broker who sells your information on, and not a national franchise. When you call, you get one of us. Meet Dan and Diana, or check the receipts on are we legit.
We are divorcing — do we both have to agree to sell?
Generally yes. Wisconsin is a marital property state, so a home acquired during the marriage is usually marital property and both spouses ordinarily need to sign off on a sale unless a court order says otherwise. We are used to working with two parties who are not speaking, and with attorneys on both sides, and we can send identical paperwork to each of you separately. See our divorce page.
How fast can you actually close?
As little as seven days once your offer goes firm, because we are not waiting on a lender, an appraisal, or an underwriter. If you need longer, that is genuinely fine — plenty of our sellers pick a date six or eight weeks out so they can line up their next place. You choose the date, and our On-Time Guarantee puts $5,000 in escrow behind it.
