About Amir Houses
Why rent when you can own?
Amir Houses exists for people who are ready for a home of their own but keep running into the same wall at the bank. We buy, hold, and place houses across Central Florida, and on most of them, we will rent to you, sell to you outright, or put you on a lease option so that the rent you are already paying is going toward owning the place.
Our story
Who we are
For more than 20 years, Amir Kalde has taken a hands-on approach to real estate, meeting applicants personally and looking beyond credit scores, rental history, and what appears on paper.
We believe that people who are genuinely working to improve their lives deserve a second chance. Over the years, we have helped families move out of hotels, relatives’ homes, and other temporary living situations after being turned down elsewhere, often repeatedly, and after paying application fee after application fee only to hear “no.”
That is also why we do not charge application fees. We do not believe families should have to keep spending money simply for the chance to be considered.
Many of our properties are purchased through public foreclosure auctions conducted under court and county procedures. We are not involved in the original loans or the circumstances that lead to a sale; we come in afterward as independent buyers. We understand that foreclosure is painful for the families involved, and we handle every property lawfully and respectfully.
Giving people an opportunity sometimes involves risk, and not every experience has been easy. We have had disappointments and losses along the way, but we continue because helping even one family rebuild, move forward, and finally have a place they can call home makes that effort worthwhile.
More than two decades of experience has shaped a straightforward way of doing business: understand the person, do the research, know the risk, keep your word, and keep moving forward.
How a lease option works
You put money down and move in as a renter, at a monthly figure agreed up front, and you hold the right to buy the house at a price fixed on day one. Down payments generally range from 3% to 6% of the option price. The more you put down at the start, the lower your monthly payment will be. It is not a mortgage, and it does not oblige you to buy.
Where we work
Lakeland, Winter Haven, Haines City, Bartow, Polk City, Lake Wales, and Frostproof across Polk County, plus Tampa, Zephyrhills, Oldsmar, Inverness, Hernando, Ocala, Leesburg, and Umatilla.
