When employees start to work again in the Central Business District (CBD) or the core of the City, things may change.

My market has quite a few repurposed 100+ year old buildings in the CBD with national tenants, but they look like new construction on the inside.Bottom line is you're going to have to spend big money to attract big tenants to old buildings.

CBD shop occupying - 13% - start in 2019 and initial lease till 20254.

My thoughts are to house hack a duplex-four plex within 30 miles of New Orleans' CBD to start my real estate portfolio.

This took out the centers loaded with nail salons, CBD, local eateries and other C/D grade single unit tenants that drove down amortization period and LTV.It’s not fair to even reflect for long on the last year.  

Keperra, which is only 8km from the CBD but can still over houses occasionally for under $400,000!

Downtown CBD has lower crime than most major cities.

You can have two practically identical office buildings but the one in the CBD will have a lower cap rate because it will be more desired. 

Duplex is currently vacant but should easily rent as it is in a highly desirable area and retail has an existing tenant on month-to-month.Retail space is my main concern at the moment especially with the current tenant being a long(er) tenant as a Vape shop that most likely sells CBD and the likes.

All is well for about four months, until Chad ditches urban toast for the up and coming free trade CBD Vape scene on the west side of town.
