We bought this Bywater Duplex for Cash

Selling a duplex in Bywater can feel overwhelming, especially when the property has storm damage or repairs that were started but never finished. This duplex on North Rampart had been a long project for the owners. Hurricane Ida left its mark on the building, and the out-of-state owners tried to manage repairs from afar. Like many New Orleans homes, the house needed updates, termite repairs, and a full finish-out after the storm damage.

The owners finally reached the point where continuing the renovation didn’t make sense. Between the travel, the cost of contractors, the uncertainty around the remaining work, and the fact that the property was sitting empty, they decided it was time to sell it as-is. They reached out to us looking for a simple, local solution.

We buy a lot of multifamily properties around New Orleans, including occupied duplexes and buildings with unfinished rehabs. This one was a natural fit for us. With our team nearby and familiar with Bywater and Marigny housing stock, taking over the renovation was something we were comfortable with.

Hey guys, Aussie Steve here from Homebuyer Louisiana, we buy houses in ANY condition in Louisiana. I’m here at a house we just purchased. We actually closed on it yesterday. We’re in Orleans Parish in the Bywater/Marigny area on North Rampart street.

So, the house is a duplex. The sellers reached out to us because they live out of State. They were renovating the property, they had rented it out, and were doing an Airbnb at some point but it got some damage from Hurricane Ida. They were still trying to fix some things and just didn’t have the money, time or energy to continue, so they decided to sell for cash in as is condition. They reached out to us, and we were able to make an all-cash offer that worked for them. So, we closed on it yesterday.

I’m actually here with my real estate agent, Jacob. Jacob does a lot of inspections for me. In this case, we’re going to end up selling this on the market once it’s finished. Jake is going to list it for us, so he’s just here looking through it with me, so we get our plans together.

We’re going to need to fix up and modernize some parts of the house. The bathroom, for instance, is dated. Also, there are some termite damages, but our major source of concern is the part of the house damaged by hurricane Ida.

The sellers were part way through the renovation, as you can see, they just didn’t want to finish it and that makes sense. Sometimes, renovation is just not worth the energy and effort needed if you don’t live in the same state. For someone like us, we do this for a living, so managing this renovation isn’t a big deal. This is a great project for us, and we’re happy to buy things like this. So, if you have a house you’re looking to sell, maybe it’s a renovation project like this that you don’t want to complete, or if you want to sell an inherited property, or you’re just done with being a landlord, reach out to us, we’re happy to let you know your best options.

We’re actively buying properties all over Louisiana, and we’re going really hard in Orleans, Jefferson, St Bernard, St Tammany and Baton Rouge at the moment. So, if you have a house you’re looking to sell in those areas, reach out to us. Check out our website homebuyerlouisiana.com, we have a lot of information on selling your house.

Cheers guys. Have a good one.
