New Orleans, LA newbies!

[Cory Cheramie]

Hey everyone, I'm Cory Cheramie, a new member from New Orleans!  My wife and I recently left our corporate finance jobs and relocated from Houston to pursue our interest in real estate investing. I've technically been a member of BP since December 2016, but between the constant travel with my previous job (auditor) and planning our move, I haven't been active on the site... time to change that!

My wife and I are in the process of wrapping up our first rehab project, a shotgun double in the Lakeview area. This property will actually serve as our first investment as well as our primary residence while we establish ourselves. Managing the project while living in Houston was a challenge, but we learned A LOT, and we're eager to start our next project!

We're open to exploring different options, but as of now, our primary interests are in small multi-family properties and generating long-term passive income.  Additionally, we are both licensed real estate agents working on expanding our family's brokerage into New Orleans proper (the brokerage is currently focused on the West Bank market area).

We are looking forward to networking with other investors in the area, joining the community, and learning as much as possible! Any advice / support for a couple of newbies is MUCH appreciated! :)
