Investing in Baton Rouge area

I am originally from Louisiana. I live in Los Angeles now and have a successful real estate business here. Investing in Los Angeles so expensive, requiring massive down payments and very little returns. My thought was to put my Los Angeles money to work someplace else. I figured I have family in the Baton Rouge area which draws me back there periodically and in a pinch I could have family check in on the property for me, outside of utilizing a property management company. Wanted to know if anyone had any opinions/expertise on whether or not investing in the Baton Rouge area was a good play or not. Thanks in advance!

@Richard Wilkinson

I invest here and our rental market is strong.  I think you will do well to consider it.
