Louisiana is also a very landlord friendly state and that doesn't hurt either.I have been looking at the rental data in New Orleans lately and it seems like there may be a surplus of rentals available, most likely due to the STR rules causing people to switch to regular long-term rentals.

Based on the data I was seeing in Airbnb, I can tell that the property was well located because my views and favorites in the Airbnb were significantly higher than the other properties in the areas, especially after the number of reviews increased.

Hello @Amanda Skipper,While there's no better way to truly get a feel for a market than by being on the ground and exploring the neighborhoods firsthand, I want to assure you that investing remotely is absolutely doable—and many successful investors do just that.In fact, I know several investors who have built substantial portfolios in Memphis, and they’ve never physically visited the city, and they've done so successfully by leveraging local expertise, market data, and a solid support network.

I’m also finalizing my father’s estate, and I plan to use my inheritance to invest further in real estate.Losing my dad last year has been very difficult, especially because of the circumstances with his wife.

When they finally move out, you'll discover a ton of unreported maintenance and possibly damage caused by failure to maintain.Landlords should encourage tenants to report maintenance issues.

Finally, there are digital nomads and some theater performers who need to stay for more than 30 days.

If you get a lot of properties it would be fun to have the first tab pulling data for metrics on portfolio performance, monthly cash flow, expenses, etc.

I own a few SFR rentals in Northern OH but def need to push harder to make the leap to Commercial so I can too walk away from my W-2 as well.It was meant for me to finally register for BP and see this!

This property was originally a fixer-upper that I finally brought to a point where it is in good condition, has good tenants and good, predictable cash-flow.

Most 4's have separate furnaces   Finally NONE of my rents are $800 a month. mine average around $1200-$1400.
