New Orleans is one of, if not the most dangerous cities in the entire US.

I am an investor that is based out of the New Orleans market and also have properties in Lafayette.

J Scott did this "Diary of a New Construction Project" and I remember it being very helpful when I was first starting.https://biggerpockets.s3.amazo...I am a spec home builder in New Orleans (my husband holds our GC license, but I have acted as project manager & superintendent on many of our projects) and happy to answer any specific questions you might have. 

There are moments you will hear the voice of your calling, those are the moments that you can ignore or lean into.

The city of New Orleans has it's own which I am a part of so would be happy to send more info about if you would like to connect.

I live just outside New Orleans and I am looking to purchase a house in North Georgia that I will use as a short term rental property. 

It doesn't seem all that different from New Orleans, where I am.
