moving to area soon

[Theresa White]

Good morning!  I am moving to the Shreveport area very soon.  I am trying to decide whether or not to purchase an investment property to "house-hack" but obviously do not know the market.  My usual approach is to find 3/1 or 3/2 single family houses in a good school district, but my budget will be rather low for this move since my family is staying in OH and we'll be running two households.  I'd like to stay below $150K and I am not looking for any place that needs significant rehab. So I'm also willing to look for a place where young professionals want to rent (less school district focus, and more walk-ability, character, location for work, etc).

If anyone has any recommendations for locations, please chime in!  I will be visiting for 7-8 days early next month. 

Best wishes,

Theresa
