Home Buyer Louisiana

10/05/2026

Selling a rental property in Louisiana can get complicated quickly.
Sometimes the tenant is great. Sometimes they’ve stopped paying. Sometimes the property needs major repairs, the owner lives out of state, or the landlord is simply ready to move on.

Over the years, Home Buyer Louisiana has bought rental properties in all of those situations.

Our founder, Stephen Keighery, is also a landlord himself, so he’s dealt with many of the same issues from both sides, tenants, turnovers, repairs, vacancies and evictions.

He recently put together some of the biggest lessons we’ve learned from real rental-property deals across Louisiana.

If you own a rental property and are weighing whether to keep it, fix it or sell it, this is worth a read.

Selling a rental property is not always as simple as deciding you want to sell and putting it on the market. Sometimes there is a tenant with six months left on the lease.

Why would a Realtor choose not to list his own family’s property?

Cody’s father, Mark, had inherited a house in Westwego that needed significant repairs. There were also succession and title issues that had to be resolved before the property could close.

Cody is a real estate broker himself, so he understood the traditional listing option. But for this particular property, he felt that selling directly to Home Buyer Louisiana in as-is condition made more sense for his family.

After closing, he told us: “The process was extremely easy. The communication was great.”

We’re grateful Cody and Mark trusted our team to help get this one across the finish line.

If you’re dealing with an inherited property, succession issues, title problems, or a house that needs major repairs, there may be a simpler way to sell.

Another Westwego closing in the books. 🏚️🤝💵

This was an inherited property that needed significant work and also had succession/title issues to get resolved before it could close.

The seller’s son is actually a Realtor and knew that, given the condition and complexity of the property, selling directly to Home Buyer Louisiana made more sense than putting it on the market.
Glad we were able to work through the process and get it closed for the family.

If you have an inherited property in Louisiana that needs repairs or has title issues, we may be able to help.

Another New Orleans closing in the books, this time on a vacant lot in the 9th Ward.

The seller had owned the property since 2001, but now lives in Hawaii. The house that once stood on the lot had become severely dilapidated and was eventually torn down a few years ago.

He didn’t want to rebuild, and after years of paying property taxes and dealing with a property he no longer had any use for, he was ready to move on.

His niece reached out to Home Buyer Louisiana, and today we were able to get the property closed. We are happy the seller got to move on. Our partner on this deal plans to build a new home on the lot and bring the property back into productive use with will be great for the neighborhood.

If you’re sitting on a house or vacant lot that is no longer serving you, whether it needs major repairs, has been demolished, is inherited, or you simply don’t want to keep paying taxes and maintenance, Home Buyer Louisiana may be able to help.

We buy houses and lots across Louisiana as-is for cash, with no need to make repairs or clean anything up.

Missing heir. Succession. Years of delinquent taxes. A previous tax sale. Major code liens.

This was definitely not a normal closing.

We first spoke with the owners of this Mid-City New Orleans property back in 2021. At the time they decided not to sell and hoped to renovate it themselves.

Five years later, the situation had become much more complicated and the property was continuing to deteriorate.

Working with Olivia Byers and the team at Title Stream, we were able to work through the court and title process, protect the missing heir’s interest, resolve the tax-sale issue and get the code liens to a level where the property could finally move forward.

There’s a pretty cool ending too.

Dillon King, who works with us at Home Buyer Louisiana and is also a licensed GC and investor, decided to buy the property himself and take on the renovation.

When Dillon first inspected it, neighbors actually approached him hoping he was there because somebody was finally going to do something with the house.

Now it’s closed and the next chapter starts.

🎥 Here’s the story of how we got it done.

Some closings mean a little more than others.

This Mid-City property had been stuck for years.

Three heirs. One couldn’t be located. Years of delinquent taxes. A prior tax sale. Significant code liens. A house continuing to deteriorate while the neighbors waited for something positive to happen.

This one took a lot more than simply agreeing on a price.

Working with Olivia Byers and the team at Title Stream, we were able to work through the succession and court process, protect the missing heir’s interest, resolve the tax-sale issue and get the code liens to a point where the property could finally move forward.

And now it’s closed.

The sellers can move on. The outstanding issues can be resolved. And Dillon King, who works with us at Home Buyer Louisiana and is also a licensed GC and investor, is taking on the renovation himself.

Really proud of everyone involved in getting this one back into commerce.

The full story is pretty incredible, we'll share the video soon.

13 heirs. Multiple successions. One closing. ✅

This was a complicated one behind the scenes, but our goal was to make it feel as simple as possible for the family.

Shanon kept everyone aligned and moving forward while the team at TitleStream handled the title and succession work.

So hearing the sellers describe the process as "easy peasy, just like the Big Easy” was pretty satisfying. 😂

Thanks to the whole family for trusting Home Buyer Louisiana with the sale.

This landlord was dealing with rising insurance, taxes, and ongoing repair costs. At the same time, the slower market made it harder to sell quickly.
When holding costs rise and demand slows, selling can become the simpler option.

Home Buyer Louisiana buys houses as-is for cash across Greater New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, the Northshore, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

We help homeowners sell quickly without repairs, fees, or commissions.
Some owners choose to exit instead of continuing to manage the property.
