I managed to work out a partnership for a duplex in New Orleans on my next deal (closed last Dec) but it wasnt a house hack this time around. 

Here's what I've got:I'm planning to sell my home that houses three small STR studio rentals, located in New Orleans.

I currently have about a dozen strs in New Orleans.

I own a home in New Orleans that I am hoping to use as a STR.

I am currently in New Orleans and there are several meetup groups in this area if you are ever in the area.

If investors hadn't flocked to rebuild New Orleans after Katrina, it would look like Fallujah by now

Hey BP,I have a property in New Orleans that has 6 bad/broken windows that need to be replaced.

Or was most of the damaged homes in lower value areas (similar to when Katrina hit New Orleans, low valued homes did not make financial sense to rebuild).  

In my town (New Orleans) property lots are narrow 30-50ft wide, which can make a side by side house have very narrow configuration (we have tons of "shotgun" side by side houses here, where each side is 12-14ft wide).I have house hacked a up/down duplex (my first house) that I still own.I believe that noise is less of an issue with an up/down duplex, than a side by side.  

This happened to me when booking a bachelor party in New Orleans.
