Jarred sold his rental property with tenants in 1 week

Jarred owned a rental property in New Orleans East and needed to free up cash quickly for a new project he was starting. Like many landlords, he worried that selling with a Section 8 tenant in place would make things complicated. He didn’t have the time or interest to stage the property, coordinate showings, or deal with inspections while tenants were still living there. Listing with a realtor felt overwhelming, so he reached out to Home Buyer Louisiana to see if there was an easier way.

Because our team buys tenant-occupied houses all the time, this situation was familiar. The home was in typical rental condition, with small repairs left undone and a tenant who had been there for a while. None of that slowed us down. We did a quick walk-through, looked at the structure and mechanical systems, and gave Jarred a fair cash offer on the spot. He didn’t have to make repairs, negotiate with the tenant, or wait for financing.

We moved from contract to closing in just one week. Jarred walked away with the funds he needed for his new project, and we added another rental property to our portfolio. By buying the home as-is and with the tenant still in place, we eliminated the stress and delays that usually come with selling a rental. For Jarred, it was exactly the simple exit he was hoping for.

What was it like selling your property to Home Buyer Louisiana?

Pretty easy, man. When I looked at the property, we came to closing within a week, and here we are.

And I know you had tenants in there, right? But that didn’t really pose an issue?

Not at all. The tenant—actually, I spoke with her when we looked at the house together.

Fantastic. Thanks, man.

Okay.
