We buy houses throughout the 70808 area
From the LSU Lakes and Bayou Duplantier to the Perkins Road corridor, from Kenilworth to University Acres, Propcash buys houses across Southdowns and the LSU area of Baton Rouge.
Propcash also buys houses in Mid City, Spanish Town and Beauregard Town, and Sherwood Forest, across Baton Rouge, and throughout Louisiana.
A tired LSU rental you are done with? That is our lane.
Much of Southdowns was built between the 1940s and the 1960s, and a mid-century ranch that has taken years of student turnover shows it. We buy houses in this exact condition all the time, tenants and all, and you do not lift a finger to fix them.
-
Original mid-century HVAC
A tired furnace or window units past their years are common in the old stock, and we price with them in mind
-
Aging wiring and panels
Original electrical that a lender's inspector flags? We expect it
-
A roof and old systems past their years
Aging pipes, a worn roof, a dated kitchen, we factor it in
-
Years of student-tenant wear
Scuffed floors, worn fixtures, and deferred upkeep on a rental are no problem
-
Tenants still living there
Sell with tenants in place, no need to wait out the lease

Understanding the Southdowns real estate market
A rental-heavy pocket a short walk from LSU
Southdowns sits between Perkins Road and the LSU Lakes along Bayou Duplantier, close enough to campus that a deep share of its mid-century bungalows and ranches run as student rentals, with young professionals filling the rest. That location keeps demand steady. The catch is age: appraisers and inspectors on a financed sale routinely surface HVAC, wiring, and roof items in houses built in the 1940s through the 1960s. Those findings stall or kill retail deals. For a direct cash buyer, they are just part of the house.
Where Baton Rouge prices sit right now
Across Baton Rouge, Zillow put the typical home value near $233,067, up a slight 0.4% year over year (Zillow, June 2026). Redfin, measuring differently, reported a city median sale price around $276,000 on roughly 31 days on market (Redfin, 2026). We keep those two readings separate because they measure different things. Southdowns tends to run toward the higher end of that range given its walkable location by LSU and the lakes.
The landlord math that sends owners to cash
Turning a tired Southdowns rental into a list-ready house, replacing the HVAC, updating wiring, putting on a roof, and doing a full make-ready between tenants, easily runs tens of thousands of dollars and months of work, all while the mortgage and taxes keep running. Many tired landlords would rather take a fair cash offer today, tenants and all, and skip the outlay. That is precisely the seller we are built for.
Relocating on a date, without the listing gamble
Southdowns also draws movers on a schedule: state-government transfers to and from the Capitol, LSU and university staff, and medical-district relocations that need a certain close rather than a listing that may sit for weeks. A fair cash offer lets you set a closing date that lines up with your move, so the sale does not hold up the rest of your plans.
A direct cash homebuyer is a company that purchases houses itself, with its own funds, rather than listing them for sale or finding buyers on a seller's behalf. Propcash is a direct cash homebuyer: we make the offer, we are the buyer, and the seller pays no commissions or fees. Sellers skip repairs, listings, and showings, and pick their own closing date.
Common situations we help Southdowns homeowners navigate
Whatever brought you here, Propcash can make you a fair cash offer.
Done being an LSU landlord
Student rentals near campus come with late-night calls, turnover, and make-ready costs every year. Sell your rental with the tenants in place, no eviction and no waiting for the lease to end.
Relocating on a set date
A transfer for state government, LSU, or a job in the medical district needs a certain close, not a slow listing. Pick a closing date that fits your move and sell without months of showings.
Downsizing a mid-century house
An original owner ready to leave a 1950s ranch with dated systems can skip the updates. Sell the house as-is to a buyer who takes the HVAC, roof, and wiring work on.
Inherited a house near campus
Many Southdowns houses have stayed in one family since the mid-century. If you inherited one and do not want to run a rental or update it, sell as-is. We are used to Louisiana successions and multi-heir title.
Behind on the mortgage
Louisiana foreclosure can move fast once it starts. A quick cash sale can pay off the loan before a sheriff's sale and help protect your credit. Reach out and we can walk through the timeline.
Divorce or estate settlement
Louisiana is a community-property state, so a jointly owned house often has to be divided cleanly. A transparent cash offer helps, and a fast, certain close lets everyone move forward.
The Propcash Promise
We don't believe in high-pressure sales tactics. Here's how we put that commitment into action for Southdowns sellers.
No expiration date
Take all the time you need to consider an offer, we'll never push a hard deadline.
No aggressive follow up
We follow up on your schedule. We'll never send unsolicited marketing emails, drip campaigns, or phone blasts.
We'll tell you if we're not the right buyer
If listing with an agent would serve you better, we'll point you to a local agent. We're always straightforward and transparent.
Frequently asked questions about selling in Southdowns
Do you buy tenant-occupied LSU-area rentals in Southdowns?
Yes. Southdowns sits a short walk from LSU, and a large share of its bungalows and ranches are student rentals. We buy tenant-occupied houses and take the lease on at closing, so you do not have to wait for the semester to end or move anyone out.
What parts of Southdowns do you cover?
We buy houses throughout 70808: the streets along the LSU Lakes and Bayou Duplantier, the Perkins Road corridor, Kenilworth, University Acres, Pollard Estates, and the blocks walkable to campus. If your house sits inside Southdowns, we can make you an offer.
I am a tired LSU landlord. Can I sell without waiting for the lease to end?
Yes. You do not have to time a sale to a lease or evict a tenant first. We buy the house with the tenants in place and honor the existing lease, so you can step out of the rental now instead of managing one more turnover.
How fast can you close on a Southdowns house?
We can close in as few as 7 days when speed matters. If you would rather line up a next move first, you pick a later date. Closings run through a Louisiana title company or closing attorney, and you never pay fees either way.
My Southdowns house is a 1950s ranch with original systems. Do you still buy it?
Yes. Much of Southdowns was built between the 1940s and the 1960s, and original HVAC, aging wiring, and a roof past its years are exactly what we expect in that stock. We factor the work into our cash offer, and you fix nothing before closing.
Do you really cover all the closing costs and fees?
Yes. There are no agent commissions, no closing costs charged to you, and no hidden fees. Propcash is free for sellers. The cash offer you accept is the amount you receive at the closing table.
I am relocating for a state-government or LSU job. Can you close on my date?
Often, yes. Movers on a state-capitol, university, or medical-district schedule need a certain close, not a listing that may sit for weeks. Tell us your date and we can work toward closing on it, so your sale lines up with your move.
How is Propcash different from the we-buy-houses signs around campus?
Those signs usually lead to one take-it-or-leave-it number. Propcash is a direct cash homebuyer. We make a fair cash offer built from local Southdowns market data, and we walk you through how we reached it. There is no obligation, so if the number does not work, you walk away.
I inherited a Southdowns house near LSU. Can you help?
Often, yes. Many Southdowns houses have been in one family since the mid-century and now sit as rentals or need updating. We buy inherited houses as-is, and we are used to Louisiana successions where title has to be cleared among heirs first. Reach out and we can talk through your situation.
