Property taxes aren't high enough in New Orleans that they are ever something I'm worried about, other than plugging the numbers in. 

Hi All ,I'm interesting in financing multi family rental properties in the Houston and New Orleans areas. 

I owned property in New Orleans and Mississippi during/after Katrina and know how incredibly frustrating it can be to have assets out of state.Let me know how we can help,Corey

I don't know—I tend to think the economic response of Hurricane Harvey will be different than that of Katrina, mainly because Houston's economy is very different than New Orleans' economy.

I've been a renter in three very different parts of the country (San Diego County, Miami, New Orleans) and, if a potential LL had told me I needed to pay a commission to their agent to rent the place, I would have looked at them like they had 3 heads and quickly moved on.I have heard of this kind of thing in places like NYC. 

Additionally, the properties are all over (two-flat in a suburb of Chicago, a duplex in Austin, TX, a single family home in Ruston, LA and another single family outside of New Orleans.  

I'm looking for a portfolio lender in the New Orleans area.

I believe there should also be somewhere around 4 hours per each of those days spent on that business activity (meeting with PM, contractors, tenants, local agents, maybe going to open houses to "check" the market, do work on the rental, etc.)One example I remember was a deductible seminar in a place like Hawaii (let's say New Orleans, in your case.)

It's in New Orleans, Louisiana.  

I’m interested in any feedback anyone has on short term rentals in New Orleans.
