We bought this inherited St Tammany property in As Is condition

We were approached by the heirs who wanted to sell a house they just inherited. The house was in need of repairs and the roof was leaking. The house had been in the family a long time and they hadn’t updated it for a while so it needed a complete update to make it appealing to a new home owner. The heirs didn’t want to make the repairs and updates and were more interested to just sell the house in As Is condition. The house still had a lot of their parent’s belongings and they didn’t want to have to go through and clear everything out. This is really common for people that inherit a house. It takes a lot of physical energy to clean a house out but when the belongings are your deceased loved one it can also take emotional energy. We buy a lot of inherited houses and understand this. That is why we are happy to buy the house with all the belongings that you don’t want to keep. We will try and donate what we can to charity and dispose of the rest when we do our rehab. In this case the owners really appreciated this, particularly because one of them lived in a different state.

The heirs wanted to sell the house fast and move on and we were able to get it closed in less than 30 days. This was a little longer than we normally take but their was a judgement against one of the heirs that our title company had to get released to clear the title. We are able to buy houses fast because we are cash buyers. Since we buy with cash we don’t have to deal with the banks and all the inspections and appraisals that they require. This makes it a much smoother and quicker process.

Hey, it’s Aussie Steve here from Home Buyer Louisiana. We buy houses in all sorts of condition in Louisiana.

I’m here at a property we just purchased in St. Tammany Parish. This was an inherited property — the house had been in the family for a long time, and unfortunately, the mother had passed away. The family was looking to sell the property. It’s not in great condition — the roof has some problems and is leaking, and overall it’s just dated and needs a bit of an update.

They wanted to sell it without clearing it out or getting it ready for listing. They just didn’t want to deal with that. We bought it as-is and told them they could leave behind anything they didn’t want. They’re taking the possessions that mean something to them, and we’ll take care of the rest. We’ll donate what we can to charity, and the rest will go in the dumpster when we do our rehab.

I’ll show you around. The utilities are off, so it’s a little dark, but you can see they’ve left behind quite a bit. It’s a nice house, but it’s definitely dated. Here’s the kitchen — nothing has really been updated in a while. The family lived here for a long time, but now it’s time for someone new to come in and fix it up.

We love buying properties like this where we can add value. We’ll clear it out, fix the roof, and update it so it’s ready for a new homeowner or tenants.

If you have a house you’re looking to sell — maybe you’ve inherited it, maybe it needs a lot of repairs, or maybe you just want to sell really fast and get a cash, as-is offer — then we can help you. Give us a call or visit our website at homebuyerlouisiana.com. Thanks, guys.
