We bought this run down Gretna house in As Is condition

We bought this run down Westbank property in As Is condition. The house had definitely seen better days. The roof had passed its useful life and when it rained outside it also rained inside. The decking had rotted out and the water had caused damage in the house. The old tenants had gone to jail and left behind a lot of junk in the house. All this is OK because we buy houses in ANY condition. You see, we are cash home buyers who flip properties and hold rentals for a living. A house like this doesn’t scare us and in fact excites us, as it represents a great project to restore the home to its former glory.

The home owner didn’t want to repair this property as it was going to take a lot of time and money and this wasn’t something they wanted to do. They preferred just to sell the house in As Is condition to an investor like us. Since we buy with cash it makes the process so much easier for the owner. Obviously getting finance approved for a property in this condition is very hard and more often than not the bank will refuse the financing (after 45 days of red tape and inspections). Since we don’t need any involvement from the banks it means the owner can have the house sold fast and move on with their lives.

The sale of this house was a real win-win situation. The owner was able to turn this unlivable property into fast cash and we were able to get another project to work on. If you know someone who has a house like this they want to sell tell them about Home Buyer Louisiana. We pride ourselves on being really easy to work with and making the process of selling a problem property really easy. We will only ever do a deal if everyone is smiling at the closing table so go out of our way to make sure you are happy. If we aren’t a good fit as a buyer for your house we will always try and give you some information that will help you understand your options and be able to find a good solution for your situation.

Hey, this is Aussie Steve from Home Buyer Louisiana. We buy houses in any condition in Louisiana.

I’m here at a property we’re looking to purchase on the West Bank of Jefferson Parish. It’s a nice big house, but it’s in pretty bad condition — and that’s okay, because we buy properties as is. We purchase them in their current state and then put in the time, effort, and money to fix them up. After that, we either flip them to a new homeowner or turn them into a rental.

Since we pay cash for the properties, we don’t need to involve a bank. That’s a big advantage because most banks would require inspections and appraisals, and in this kind of condition, the house would likely be rejected by a lender. But that’s not an issue for us — we’re happy to pay cash and take on projects like this.

This particular property has been vacant for a while and has definitely seen better days. Some rooms aren’t too bad, but you can smell the moisture throughout the house — it’s very damp. There are lots of belongings and junk left behind, but again, that’s no problem. We buy houses in this condition all the time and are happy to clear them out. As part of the rehab, we’ll be bringing in dumpsters and removing all the debris.

You can see some areas have significant damage, likely from water intrusion, but we see the potential. We’re not buying this house to move in ourselves — we’re buying it to fix it up and get it back on the market in much better shape. This could be a beautiful, large home for a future homeowner to enjoy.

There’s no power on in the house right now, which makes it even harder to sell traditionally. A regular buyer won’t be able to view it properly, and most realtors would struggle to list something in this condition. That’s where investors like us come in — we can step in, purchase the property quickly, and bring it back to its former glory.

So, if you have a house that needs a bunch of repairs and you don’t want to deal with fixing it up yourself, reach out to us. We’re based in New Orleans, but we buy all over Louisiana, especially in the Greater New Orleans area. If you want a quick, cash offer, visit our website at homebuyerlouisiana.com or give us a call. You can also fill out our online form. Thanks, guys!
