We bought this Kenner house in As Is condition. It had a number of issues with it. The electricity didn’t work in parts of the house, the roof was leaking and causing ceiling damage, there was lots of damage (and smell) from the animals that lived at the house. The house needed a lot of work to make it appealing to a new owner and the current owner didn’t have the time, energy or resources to do this work. Instead they reached out to us to sell the house in As Is condition. We buy houses like this all the time. We like being able to use our skills to add value to a property so we can flip it to a new owner or add to our rental portfolio.
The seller was happy with what we could offer her for the property. She was even more excited by the fact that we pay cash and don’t need to wait for bank approvals so she was able to sell her house really fast. We pride ourselves on being really easy to work with and love when we can help someone like this turn something that is causing them stress into a large sum of cash. It was even sweeter in this case as the owner had been divorced and was looking after 2 children in this house which had so many issues. She was able to move out quickly and get on with the next phase in her life.

Hey everyone, this is Aussie Steve from Home Buyer Louisiana. I’m here at a house we just purchased in Jefferson Parish.
As you can see, I’ve got my mask on—usually I take it off when filming a video, but in this case it actually serves two purposes. This house had a lot of animals in it, and there’s a really strong smell. So, the mask definitely comes in handy for situations like this.
We’re purchasing this property in as-is condition, like we always say. We’re happy to buy houses even when they have issues. In this case, most of the stuff inside is actually being left behind. We’ll donate what we can to charity and put the rest in dumpsters.
The house definitely has its challenges. The previous owners had a lot of animals, so the smell is strong and the floors are very scuffed up. Unfortunately, the couple went through a divorce and neither of them ended up taking care of the house. It fell into disrepair, and now both of them are moving on.
There’s quite a bit of cleanup needed. For example, the fridge—yeah, don’t open that. We’ll be clearing everything out, and as you can see, there’s some water damage due to an issue with the roof. It’s definitely a house that needs a lot of work.
But that’s okay—this is what we do. This property is located in Kenner, which is actually a really nice area in Jefferson Parish. It’s the kind of house that, once fixed up, a homeowner is really going to appreciate.
So if you have a house you’re looking to sell, it doesn’t need to be in this rough of a condition. We buy houses that are in better shape too. But even if it is in bad condition—or worse—we’re still happy to buy it. We’ll put in the work, use our money, time, and expertise to fix it up and get it ready for a new homeowner or tenant.
