I went to Clemson for school (both undergrad and grad in architecture) and then took a job in New Orleans for about a year and a half.

Hello, I'm Bobby ,I'm a new real estate investor , I've been living in southern California now for about 4 years, originally from New Orleans "Geaux Saints"!

This is because the low rents will not cover Capital Expenditures over the long term.As an example... during Hurricane Katrina many residents were forced from the lower 9th Ward of New Orleans. 

My first tenants were from New Orleans right after hurricane Katrina.

I've recently seen investors building houses from the ground up and want to jump in the game. I want to learn more about the right ways to get it done. Any teachers out there willing to school me? 

Interested in connecting with people who are investing in multi-family and residential real estate in New Orleans.

Who do you guys recommend in the New Orleans area that does good work for a good price?

Hey everyone! My name is Robert Power and I am brand new to the real estate world. I’ve done a ton of research so far with all of BP’s fantastic guides, podcasts, and posts and now my plan is to pursue small multi-fam...

Unless you are maybe in New Orleans where there are monolithic slabs and the slab is lifted with the house.For your 1000 sq ft house here in New Jersey, considering that it will be a wood frame structure (to lift a block or stone structure can be 3-4x the cost) the price would range from about $9000-13000 for just the lift of the home and the set down on the new foundation.The cost of the foundation will range tremendously based on what flood zone you are in, what type of foundation is called for on the plans and if you can reuse the old foundation to build up on or have to replace the entire foundation.Hope this helps.

Sounds like a typical New Orleans reno project.
