New Member Seeking Advice

[Nathan Doherty]

Hello all, 

 My name is Nathan Doherty and I'm new to BP. I've been interested in real estate investing for quite some time and have been doing some research and I'm leaning towards starting off with buying a multi family home to live in while renting the other units out. I'm active duty in the Coast Guard and will be moving to New Orleans in November of 2017. If anyone knows anything about the market there and/or can speak about this method I would love some input! All responses are welcomed! Thanks !
