Hello. We have several and haven’t heard much of anything since the rules went into affect. We have transitioned many to mid term rentals. 

Reach out whenever, I’ll dig into what the rules were again and we can chat about it. My wife and I are local realtors as well, so we can get you started out here if need be.

Looking for referrals for rock star Financial Advisors who specialize in real estate in Baton Rouge or surrounding areas.

I don’t have anyone off hand, but I would definitely like to help you find deals and earn your business as your real estate agent. 

I self manage my properties and the finances using STESSA. I find it to work pretty well.

Quote from @James Matuschka:

Hi everyone! Wanted to introduce myself. My name is James, and i am just beginning my real estate investing adventure. I'm from Baton Rouge Lousiana and that is where i will be investing. I currently own a home and live in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. My plan is to take out a HELOC in the next month so that i have cash on hand when the right deal pops up. I have been binge-listening to bigger pockets podcast starting with episode 1. Right now im on episode 14 and im hooked. Im wondering if this is the logical way to start learning since those episodes are 10 years old... probably not as relevant as the current ones, but they sure are enjoyable. Thanks Josh and Brandon!

Cheers!

James

Looking to have photos taken in East Baton Rouge. on craigslist I only find pro photographers offering me "wedding reception" prices.

velocity reos has shown me an experience that left a lot to be desired and I'd say: Avoid them like the plague.

if anyone can direct me to a realtor who can take some photos, please connect us.

Thanks in advance,

Quote from @Jackson Madonna:

I noticed that you are from New Orleans, @Mike Wood, and I was wondering if you had any trustworthy and dependable contractors you have worked with who have a presence in Baton Rouge. I would enjoy connecting with them and you to learn more information about renovating or developing student housing to get market rates. Thanks.


 Built Right Renovations - Canton Christians - 760-450-6286. Tell him Brian Mackey says hello. 

He’s a great guy and very driven. Used him for several projects.

Quote from @Jeremiah Helg:

Hey, Bigger Pockets community. I'm looking at a multi-family deal in Baton Rouge. It's a triplex that has been recorded as a condo and can't go conventional unless that's changed. My questions as a prospective buyer is: What's the process for changing such a recording? Is there someone to reach out and talk to that about that specifically? And finally is it all on the seller to have the recording changed? 


Where at in BR?? I’m an investor in the area as well. And that’s a great question… I think the seller would have to change that.  Are there other units beyond the sellers that are part of this condo association??

Awesome Brian! Pleasure connecting!

Are you liking STR or LTR more? I see you do both.

Regards


They have their positives and negatives. STR's are a legit business with a lot of moving parts, follow up, financials. LTR's are as well, but definitely with a lot less oversight. I like having both to be a bit diversified.
