Hey Lynn I shot you a direct message.  Not sure if you’ve seen it just yet. 

Lynn, where exactly is this fourplex. The area that your describing is on the rougher side. I’m an investor in Baton Rouge as well!  I’ve house hack three times here in BR.  Maybe we can go over some of the things that I’ve looked at when buying. You definitely don’t wanna be somewhere unsafe your first go around and there are some very bad areas of BR. 

Welcome sir!  I’m out here in Baton Rouge as well and have done really well with House Hacking, Airbnb, and mobile homes.  Reach out whenever. 

@Jennifer Buchanan

Just seeing this…what ended up happening here?

I backed out of a property I had bought at auction.com. The area is very poor and not much going on. I can’t imagine that it would be worth the time.

Hello Garth. I’m a local newbie investor in Baton Rouge as well. Would love to connect when you get down here. I currently have two duplexes and two mobile homes. Looking to continue to expand!

Reach out whenever - 9152768694 I’m from Texas.

@Dennis Wayne I believe he meant a positive $240. 

@Bryant Clark it's tough man. It seems as if it wouldn't be worth it to me especially starting out. That area would be just too rough for me. I know you are in Austin, have you considered Airbnb? Competition may be strong out there but it seems like Austin just continues to have a huge draw that you'd probably get a way better ROI and rental experience. If I was in Austin that is what I would pursue.

Did you end up pulling the trigger on this one?  What area of BR is this in??

@JJ Conway

Hello. Did you ever have any luck with civic source?

Thanks everyone for the support.  I decided to move on from the tenant.  She was super persistent but I resisted.  Could've been a great tenant, could have been a disaster.  Decided to stick to my criteria.
