We bought this vacant, half rehabbed, termite infested house in New Orleans

When we say we buy houses in ANY condition we mean it. This house we bought in the 7th Ward of New Orleans had a number of issues. The property had been vacant for long time and was partially renovated by the owner. The problem is he was doing the project slowly and while we was trying his best to add value to the house, it was actually going down in value. People had broken in and stripped all the copper pipes from the property and taken the central heating unit. Believe or not there guests in the house even less welcomed than those thieves. You see there was significant termite activity and they were moving fast and causing lots of damage. There was also foundation issues, but that is pretty common in New Orleans houses.

But this sort of damage doesn’t bother us, because these are the sort of issues we fix all the time. We were able to pay the owner a cash price for the house that he was happy with it. We obviously bought it “As-Is” meaning the owner didn’t warrant anything about the house and it became our responsibility to repair all the issues. The owner had been trying to sell the house for awhile but was having trouble finding someone to buy his problem. These are the sorts of houses we like buying as it is a real win-win situation. The seller gets cash for a house that is really hard to sell and is able to leave all the stress and drama behind them. We are able to get a project that we can sink out teeth into and fix up a standard that a home owner would want to pay top dollar for it.

If you have a house you would like to sell quick in the Greater New Orleans area then let us know and we can give you a no obligation cash offer on your house.

Hey, this is Aussie Steve from Home Buyer Louisiana. We buy properties all over New Orleans and the surrounding parishes—Orleans Parish, St. Bernard, St. Tammany. We’ve been buying properties in these areas in any condition, so it doesn’t really matter what the situation is. We take on all sorts of properties.

I’m actually here at a property that we just recently purchased. You can see it was being rehabbed by the owner. He had been working through it slowly, doing things as he could. The problem was that while he was doing the work, people were breaking into the property while it was vacant and stripping out all the copper.

This is actually a double, and they broke through the wall here, cut the wires so they could get to the pipes. They ripped out all the plumbing and caused a lot of damage. You’ll also see termite nests here—these termites are getting in, eating away at the wood, and it’s starting to crumble. There are a bunch of them around.

So while he was trying to add value, the property was actually going down in value. When you’re doing a renovation, you need to move fast and make sure your site is secure. But that’s okay—we buy these sorts of properties. We don’t mind putting the cash into them, using our expertise and our team to fix them up. We might keep it as a rental property or flip it to a new homeowner.

If you have a property—any condition—we’ll look at it and can buy it for cash. Now, I know you don’t care whether we pay cash or use financing, because money’s all the same to you. But it’s important because for a lot of these properties with issues, banks won’t lend money. The collateral just isn’t good enough for them.

That’s why it’s important that we pay cash—it means we can buy the property as-is. You don’t need to fix anything. There are no conditions placed on the sale. We take responsibility for everything.

Maybe you’re facing foreclosure and want to sell before it goes to sheriff’s sale so you can still get something out of it. Maybe you’ve got title issues. These are all things we help solve.

So give us a call. There’s no pressure when you speak to us. We look at 10 to 15 properties a week, and we might only buy 4 to 8 each month. If we come out to see you, we just want to give you information, understand your situation, and see if we’re a good fit.

If it makes sense for you to sell the property to us, and it makes sense for us to buy it, then we’d love to do that. If we’re not a good fit, that’s fine too. We still want to have a good conversation, make sure you’re informed, and help you understand your options.

If you have a property, give us a call or visit our website: HomeBuyerLouisiana.com. My name is Steve—they call me Aussie Steve. You can probably tell from the accent why that’s the case. Give us a call. We’d love to take a look at your property and see if we can help. Thanks very much.
