It wasn't until I walked into the front door of 623 Webster St this morning that I realized this area, my old friends down the street and Audubon Park are rooted in me and my connection to living in New Orleans.As past landlords, professional references, associates and my peers will attest, I treat my home and living space with utmost respect and cleanliness and promise to do the same with your home.I'm a people person at heart and give you my word to be a respectful neighbor and friend to families on Webster Street.If there’s anything else you need from me, please don't hesitate to ask.

You can use the write-offs from syndication against the returns you get from investing in them, and you can also use them against the other rental income you collect on your existing properties if you decide to keep them.We're all rooting for you!!
