If you are looking for a wholesaler-friendly title company in the New Orleans area there are plenty to choose from... Fleur De Lis Title, Title Stream, and Title Management Group are a few I can think of. 

 Many local investors use @Stephen Leonard with Pelican Realty.

Either area will work for a rental. I have a waterfront listing in Eden Isles in Slidell now if that is something you might be interested in. The property is located at 117 Windward Passage. 

@Patrick J Tanglao Glad you found it helpful! 

@Robert Leonard is in the area and may know of some

 I'd be happy to hop on a phone call with you to run through it. Basically, it just depends on the comps in the area and the property values in that area. Every area has a max or cap, and you don't want to go over that. It is never good to be the biggest or most expensive house in a neighborhood.

Contractors are a dime a dozen, but good contractors are hard to come by. There are also many people in the New Orleans area that call themselves a contractor but in actuality, they are not licensed. Your best bet is getting a solid referral from someone that has actually used a particular contractor and had a good experience with them. As mentioned above by @Taylor Stow, knowing a bit more about the project would help to determine the best fit for you. Please provide more details about the project and from there I can refer an appropriate contractor for your needs.

@Vincent Hawkes I am a local real estate investor and a licensed broker in both LA and MS. I'd be happy to schedule a phone call with you to discuss things and determine if we would be a good fit to work together. Let me know!
