Newbie from Houma LA

[Ryan Melander]

Hello all,  I'm Ryan!  Just moved from the Dallas TX metroplex to Houma LA.  I work in the oil and gas industry and I'm very interested in RE investing. 

I'm interested in multi unit and fix-&-hold properties. 

I have previous experience in a single family rental and a complete remodel. Both of these properties were sold in the move so I'll be looking to do similar investing here.

Any advice on the Houma RE market and/or recommended books on how to evaluate the market would be much appreciated.  Specifically evaluating an oil field town when oil and gas activity is low. Also, anyone with experience with low income renting your thoughts would be great too.
