Hey, FWIW, I attended a 1-day seminar (cost me $20) and in my humble opinion, his info was good, he gave lots of practice on how to analyze 5+ unit multifamilies, and thought it was worth while. Still trying to decide if I'll attend the 4-day workshop that's being offered at a discount (I think $995). I talked with him and he said this info is out there, but he condenses it and makes it digestible in a short period of time, which was sort of my take on it. So, nothing he said couldn't be found in a good book like Frank Gallinelli's cash flow book, but he also offers a lot of rules of thumb (also in the book) and other tips (not in the book) and while he does teach about real estate investment (mostly apartments), he's an active investor, and seems credible. Anyone have any other experience with him? Thought I'd post an update.

Anyone ever hear of him or attend his boot camp? He focuses on apartment complexes. Because I'm a member of the REIA in New Orleans I can attend a 1-day seminar for $20, but I didn't sign up for the 4-day boot camp for about a grand. Any experience with him or his materials? Thanks.

Mike, thanks for the link, appreciate the reply.

Candace, thanks for the information. No one I know says they should trust the city. The new underwriter is supposedly a WFG licensed agent, NOLA Title. I called them today and they claimed they would sell expanded title insurance to cover any improvements to the land. I'm going to watch and wait and see how the first one goes. Makes me nervous that all the posted PDF docs say "return mail" on them which I'm guessing means owners/heirs weren't actually reached. Thanks, Candace for the reply.

ANyone thinking about buying at the auction this week? First of its kind here.

Thanks for the helpful reply and link, Christine!

Anyone have one they can share for evaluating multifamilies, apartments, etc.? Thanks!

Thanks for the post, Braden. That's my impression so far, that the discounted properties are scarce and finding things that cash flow in terms of buy and hold are few and far between. Appreciate the input.

Sorry for typos, in the "New Orleans" and Metairie areas. My fault for posting from iPhone. 

Just wondering for people who buy and hold (or wholesale or flip) in the Mew Orleans and Metairie areas of LA, what marketing strategies have worked beat to generate leads on houses to buy for investments? Particularly for buy and hold investors. Driving for dollars? Yellow letters? Word of mouth networking? I'm a lifelong resident (raised in New Orleans East and now in Metairie). Seems a lot of the prices wouldn't allow properties to cash flow in many areas. Thanks!
