We Buy Houses in Any Condition in Louisiana
Most buyers — including those using FHA, VA, or conventional financing — can't purchase homes with significant repair issues. Their lenders require the home to meet minimum property standards before approving the loan. That means a house with major problems can sit on the market for months, or get taken off entirely when deals fall through after inspection.
We pay cash, so there's no lender, no appraisal, and no required repairs. Here's everything we buy as-is:
What Repairs Really Cost in Louisiana
Before you decide to fix the house before selling, consider what you're actually looking at spending. Louisiana construction costs are among the highest in the region due to climate demands, humidity, and post-storm rebuild backlogs:
| Repair Type | Typical Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Roof replacement (1,500 sq ft) | $8,000 – $18,000 |
| Foundation repair | $5,000 – $40,000+ |
| Full electrical rewire | $8,000 – $20,000 |
| Plumbing replacement | $4,000 – $15,000 |
| HVAC system replacement | $5,000 – $12,000 |
| Mold remediation | $2,000 – $25,000 |
| Termite damage repair | $3,000 – $15,000 |
| Full kitchen renovation | $20,000 – $60,000 |
| Full bathroom renovation | $8,000 – $20,000 |
| Interior paint + flooring | $5,000 – $15,000 |
A house needing a new roof, foundation work, and updated electrical could easily require $50,000–$80,000 in repairs — money most sellers don't have sitting around. And even after spending it, there's no guarantee you'll recoup the full investment in the sale price.

Why Selling As-Is Often Makes More Financial Sense
Here's something most sellers don't realize: the discount you take selling as-is is often less than what you'd spend on repairs. Let's say your home is worth $150,000 fully repaired and it needs $50,000 in work. You might get $110,000 selling as-is — but after spending $50,000 on repairs plus 6% commission on $150,000 ($9,000), you'd net $91,000 the hard way versus $110,000 the easy way.
Every situation is different, but in many cases the math favors selling as-is — especially when you factor in the time, stress, and uncertainty of a repair-and-list strategy.
