Project Update – We bought this house in As Is condition and flipped it into a rental

We bought this house in As Is condition for cash and fixed it up to make a great rental. The seller was behind on their mortgage payment and just needed to sell the house fast in As Is condition . We were able to pay the seller a price that worked for them and closed within 8 days. A real advantage of selling to a cash buyer like us is that we don’t need to go through the bank appraisals and inspections so you can sell your house fast.

Since we closed right before Christmas we let the sellers stay 30 days after closing to give them time to move. They didn’t have to clean the house up and when we got the keys the house was full of unwanted belongings and was really dirty. We cleaned out the property and made the needed repairs to bring the house back to its former glory. We were proud of the job we did and the house is now ready for a new family to become tenants and enjoy the house.

We love buying houses like this where we can use our skills, resources and network to flip a property to a new tenant. The seller was really happy with how easy it was to sell the house, we were happy to get a new project and the new tenants are going to love the house.

If you have a house you are looking to sell and don’t want to have to make repairs, hold open houses or pay realtor fees then perhaps selling to Home Buyer Louisiana is a good option. We pay cash, close fast and won’t ask you to make repairs to make selling your house a really easy process. Give us a call or fill in our online form so we can discuss your individual situation and see if we are a good buyer for your property.

Hey guys, it’s Aussie Steve here from Home Buyer Louisiana. We buy houses in any condition in Louisiana. I’m here with a project update on one of the properties we bought on the West Bank of Jefferson Parish, in Marrero.

I did a video when we first got the keys. We bought this house as-is just before Christmas Eve. We closed in eight days for the seller but let them stay for 30 days after closing. I’ll put a link to the original video. When we picked it up, the house was really messy and needed some repairs, but we’ve taken care of that now.

We’ve got the “For Rent” sign up, which is good, and the house is pretty much ready for a new tenant. There are just a couple of finishing touches left, but it’s in great shape overall. We gave it a really good cleanup and brought in some appliances. We also painted the house, which made a big difference. The floors had some damage, but we fixed up the broken planks. There are still a few minor scuffs, but nothing major.

We cleaned out the bathroom, replaced the toilet seat, and tidied up everything. It’s looking much better now. All the junk is gone—we donated a bunch of stuff to charity and threw the rest out. This is now a great four-bedroom rental property in Marrero, and we’re looking forward to finding some nice tenants for it.

This was a real win-win situation. The seller really needed to sell fast—she was behind on her mortgage payments and at risk of losing the house. We were able to close in eight days, buy it in as-is condition with all cash, and even let her stay through the holidays. We got the keys about a month ago, cleaned it out, made the repairs, and now it’s ready to rent.

The fence was damaged, so we took it down. We haven’t put it back up yet, but we’ll do that next week. In the meantime, we’re going to start showing the property and get a new family in here to enjoy it. We’re really happy with how it turned out, and we know the seller and the future tenants will be too.

If you have a house that you want to sell—maybe you just want to sell fast, for cash, without having to prepare it, stage it, hold open houses, or pay realtor fees—give us a call. Visit our website at HomeBuyerLouisiana.com. We’re always happy to help, and we’d love to chat about your situation.

Thanks, guys.
