Due to a graduate program I started, I will be staying in New Orleans for a year before I also move to Houston.

I'm 20 years old and am from New Orleans, Louisiana.

Wow thanks everyone, That clarifies it for me. don't think i would buy out of state but was just looking at it and wondering why it was different than the one i just participated in in my home state on Louisiana in New orleans last year.

I'm interested in that market but right now I want to achieve passive income while I'm still working.Norman, maybe growing up in Kenner and going to school in New Orleans hardened me a little but that area didn't seem too bad. 

I am in a similar situation in New Orleans where saturation is lowering the bookings of many owners within my network.

They have a seminar in New Orleans coming up in Dec.

The town also got more important as a waypoint on the City of New Orleans, and the intersection between I57 and I74.

I found bits and pieces in relation to answering my question, but hoped I could ask the question here related to my individual situation.The contractor who I have worked with on my personal home projects is interested in doing some flips and/or buy and holds in New Orleans.

I think your example in New Orleans really hammered home the importance of Due Dilligence.

I am both an investor and a licensed realtor in New Orleans.
