We buy houses with code violations

We buy houses in ANY condition so a house like this with significant damage and code violations isn’t an issue. We are ok applying our time, money and skills into taking a run down property and flipping it into a great home for a new owner or tenant. Since we are cash home buyers we don’t need to get banks to approve a loan, pass inspections and appraisals. You can sell your house to us in As Is condition so you don’t have to make repairs, warrant any part of the property or clean the house out. The house could have major roof problems like this one and need a full gut rehab. It is OK if there is mold, foundation problems or lots of belongings in the house. We are happy to clean and fix these type of properties and love a good project to work on.

The owner of this house had some real issues. Obviously the house was in disrepair and was getting code violations and liens. The other issue was that it was real liability problem. The house was vacant and could easily have children come in the house and if they injured themselves the owner would be exposed. If you have a house like this you really need to get it fixed up or sell it.

If you have a house that you want to sell in As Is condition in Louisiana then we may be a good buyer for you. We pride ourselves on being easy to work with and are not put off by a lot of repairs. You could have your house sold fast without having to make repairs or cleaning out the house. Give us a call or fill out our online form to discuss your particular property and 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 in Algiers, and it’s definitely one of those “any condition” properties. It’s in pretty rough shape — but that’s okay, because we buy houses as-is for cash.

Since we don’t use bank financing, we can purchase homes like this that are in serious disrepair. We don’t need banks to approve inspections or repairs. Instead, we use our own time, money, resources, skills, and network to fix them up and get them ready for a new homeowner.

Let me show you around. This property has some real roof issues — I’m actually standing in one of the better rooms right now, probably the master bedroom. You can see there’s a bit of mold, the floors aren’t in great shape, and when it rains outside, it rains inside. There’s significant water damage from roof leaks.

In fact, the roof has been compromised. You can see the damage coming in. There are termite tracks visible, so it’s clear the termites have weakened the structure. The water has pooled and is pushing everything toward the center of the house, making it dangerous to be inside.

This isn’t a property the seller could list on the MLS — that’s pretty obvious. But the bigger problem is that it’s a liability. The house is wide open. We’re in Old Aurora on the West Bank of New Orleans, and anyone can walk right in. That means kids can enter, get hurt, and the owner — who’s still on title — could be sued. It’s not just a financial drain from the code violations; it’s a safety risk and legal hazard.

These are the types of properties we’re happy to buy. We don’t mind fixing them up. This one, we’re still evaluating. It’s a brick building, which gives it some potential, but there’s a lot of termite damage throughout. We’re trying to determine whether we can salvage the structure or if it’s a full teardown.

Best-case scenario, it’s a full gut renovation. Worst-case, we demolish it and build a new home. Either way, we understand this is a serious problem for the owner. They need to stop the bleeding, remove the liability, and turn this situation into cash.

So if you have a house you’re looking to sell in Louisiana, reach out to us. Visit us at homebuyerlouisiana.com. We’re happy to talk to you and give you advice on your property.

Thanks, guys.
