Is this part of Shreveport LA good to buy investment property in?

[Joshua Wofford]

I am currently searching for homes in shreveport Louisiana to purchase as investment properties however, not being from there I am not familiar with the area. The current home I am looking at is located North of Cross Lake on Jewella Ave. Is this part of Shreveport a good place to buy or should I stay away? Also are there any other cities in Lousiana or lower income states that would be good to buy in?

Welcome to the Shreveport market @Joshua Wofford!  There are broad generalizations through Shreveport as "good" or "bad" areas.  What I would challenge you to think about is your particular strategy.  Do homes rent over there? Absolutely; and if cash flow is your goal, the right deal will bring strong cash flow.  If you are looking for flips, you will really want to sharpen your numbers and get some hyperlocal data to the house, within a quarter of a mile if possible.  Feel free to send me a message and I'll get you connected in to some of the local FB groups for investors
