Historically in EBR, though, once the exemption is in place, it is unlikely to be removed unless the property is reassessed, there is a complaint, or some other action occurs to bring non-owner occupancy to light, such as buying a new primary residence in the parish.

Buy where you intend to live, where you know the areas best.

So, I don't want to expand that tool beyond what it is today.1) If anyone out there knows of such a dashboard for a small investor (I have 5 commercial leases and 14 residential), please share the information on where I can buy a template.2) If any of you are interested in working together to develop this tool, I am happy to meet and build a wish list for features that we can divide up the work and complete it faster. 

I primarily invest in buy and holds, but I do a little bit of everything including fix and flips, airbnb's, mid-term rentals, and wholesaling.

@John Lasheri agree with you, you'd be surprised at how many people listen to Grant Cardone though, and decide that they're going to go buy a 100 unit with 'OPM' as their first deal and quit their job.i think buying something of that size with a few partners is a perfectly good goal. 

@Benjamin Ying1) Waste of time unless you are buying hundreds of units.2) Any option to minimize risk is usually a good idea.3) Always better to visit an area before investing.

Prohibiting a landlord from using criminal history prior to a conditional offer.We're seriously considering selling and buying in another state.

Our initial goal has been to buy a property every time the Army relocates me (roughly every two years) and rent it out afterward.

Many groups buy cash flow negative deals and overraise to pay distributions right away. 

But yes long term I am interested in buy and hold single and multifamily.
