We bought this vacant double that had squatters

We bought this vacant double in Gretna. It used to be a rental but while it was vacant squatters moved in and trashed the place. The owners lived out of state so it took a while to realize what was going on. While they were able to get the squatters out the damage had already been done and the house wasn’t in a condition for new tenants or to sell to a new owner. While rentals are meant to make you money this one was costing the owner lots of money with property taxes and code violations piling up. Some of these costs had been recorded as liens against the property and it was all becoming too much for the owners to handle.

The owner decided enough was enough and that they would sell the house in As Is condition and move on. Since we are cash buyers we don’t need to get a bank to approve a loan and inspect the property. This means the condition isn’t an issue so we can buy it and use our network to fix up the property for a new tenant or owner. Selling your house this way means there is also a lot less red tape to go through so you can sell your house fast. We were able to pay the owners a price that worked for them and that gave us the room we needed to be able to get the rehab complete. We love these win-win opportunities when we are able to turn a problem into a great outcome for the seller and also get a nice project for us to work on.

Hey, it’s Aussie Steve here from Home Buyer Louisiana. We buy houses in all sorts of condition in Louisiana. I’m here at a property we’re purchasing on the West Bank of Jefferson Parish. It’s a double, and it’s actually boarded up. It’s been vacant for a while. The owners live out of state and, unfortunately, they had some squatters living here at one point. They’ve since gotten them out of the house, but the property has accumulated code enforcement liens and tax liens.

Rental properties are meant to make you money, but in this case, it was just costing the owner more and more. So they decided to sell it to us, and we’re happy to buy properties like this all cash. As you can see, it’s in pretty bad condition. It got a little trashed by the squatters and definitely needs some work. It’s certainly not ready to be listed for a homeowner to move into, but that’s okay — we buy houses like this all the time and are happy to fix them up.

There’s no power right now, so I can’t really show you the inside too well, but it’s dated and has a few issues. That’s fine with us. We buy these sorts of properties for cash, and we come in with the expertise and resources to renovate them. Whether there’s stuff left behind or not, we’ll handle it. We’ll clear it out, donate what we can to charity, and dump the rest.

If you have a house like this that you’re looking to sell in Louisiana, reach out to us. We pride ourselves on being really easy to work with. We don’t mind putting in the work, and since we pay cash, there aren’t a lot of hoops to jump through. There’s no need for bank financing or inspections, and we can close really fast. Our goal is to provide a simple, stress-free service.

Even if we’re not the best buyers for your situation, we’ll be honest about it and give you advice on your options. We only want to do deals where both sides are smiling at the closing table. In this case, the seller is definitely going to be smiling. They’re getting rid of a burden and putting some money in their pocket, and we’re getting a good project to work on.

So reach out to us at HomeBuyerLouisiana.com or just give us a call. Thanks so much!
