Short Term Rentals in New Orleans, Good Idea?

[James C Wright]

Hi All, I've been going back and forth trying to decide if purchasing an investment property in New Orleans is a good idea. I've read a few articles about how the city is trying to crack down on short term rentals such as AirBnB etc. but I'd like to know the experiences from others who are actually in the situation.  Are you finding that city associations are attempting to block you from short term rentals? Are you running into any gentrification related restrictions etc?  Any details of your experience would be greatly appreciated.
