Michael,I currently have three single family dwellings in the Shreveport/Bossier area. 

Each dwelling has variables to consider such as light exposure, reflection/absorption, finishes & materials in addition to the style that best compliments the architecture. 

@Gabby Rich hey start off with the beginner guides,read,and watch a lot of videos about real estate investing 

hello everyoneI am chad and I am looking to learn about real estate investing i have been watching the bigger pockets videos on u tube lately and decided to join the group I am hoping to learn and research some more before i jump i and buy my first rental property. 

Areas prone to drought and wildfire probably have increased dwelling premiums also.That being said, if this is normal in those areas, the rent should probably cover those expenses without too much trouble.  

I found biggerpockets through youtube after binge watching and listening to about 100+ podcast and the videos of the Podcast.

When I was 13 I started my own landscaping company in NJ (Divine Landscaping) and just recently started a video production company (Non Stop Productions).Through the 4 years I have been in Raleigh, NC I have seen an enormous change in real estate and I am tired of sitting back and watching other investors get rich quick. 

My only concern was with stuff left in the unit but already took pictures and I have video from previous days when I entered unit for maintenance.

Take a witness and video camera.

I have read and watched every podcast, youtube video, or book I could get me hands on.
