Gas is not safer and costs more to maintain. 

The city has already started to fine owners not complying and have actually initiating having the utilities turned off in some cases.If you want to do short term rentals in NOLA, your best bet is to find property that would qualify for commercial short term rentals, although the zoning required for these is hard to find and likely not in the most desirable short term rental areas.

Bet you didn't see that coming.  

They would probably be your best bet for monetizing your services.

If that woman posted her side of the situation on BP, I bet a lot of people would just say "suck it up and own up to your mistake"

For SFH its squared footage / bedrooms / and area that help command price basically just like apartments.. harder to shop in person for comps so listings on major sites are easy to track by area / map Apartments basically the same way,, but transportation / bus sometimes is a big plus.. and if your in a close nitch with similar size apts I'd recommend go and physically check to see what they are offering,, shop them as I bet they have shopped you.. 

. - 100% financing is the most risky to the lender, as they would have to bet on you giving up the property if you fail.... to recover a failed project with no equity.

I always feel that real estate (if you pick a good market) is a safer investment than the stock market. 

They are you best bet for flexible lending.

@Barak Levi Jacksonville seems to be a good bet.
