TBH-The stats are showing that the Greater Baton Rouge Area's Real Estate Market is white-hot right now. Lots of realtors on my FB TL begging folks who have ever thought about selling to list ASAP.

Does anyone know who is doing bridge loans in the New Orleans area? Thanks.

The easiest way is to save cash up as a down payment and make sure you can carry both mortgages for as long as needed.

That is what I did and it went great. I'd recommend it.

I'm moving Friday and it's stressful as hell 


I made a contingent offer on the new home (vacant) and had to hurry up and list my house as soon as the offer was accepted. 

I got really lucky in that my house sold in half a day. 

I'm closing on both houses at the same title company back to back Friday afternoon. 

I'm lucky that the sellers I'm buying from are allowing me to move items in this week prior to close so I don't have to move everything on Friday. 

I'm hiring movers for the big stuff but it's still a ton of work.



Hmmm.

New house in Prairieville?

Did you close?

*I was supposed to close Friday on a house in Prairieville that sounds eerily similar to this.

We didn't close.

Disastrous situation with this buyer.
