I agree with @Jeremy Tillotson even in Wyoming or Colorado where snow is more abundant most years, unless it states one way or another on the lease, I wouldn't do it...

Abundance Vs.

New Orleans does indeed offer a unique real estate landscape with its abundance of multi-family properties and opportunities for fixes and flips.

@Nicholas L. of course, apologies that that wasn't abundantly clear.

If you had an abundance of cash, just buy cashflow like George Gammon did.

The competitiveness in the area is pretty intimidating to me as a new investor, however the abundance of local property management companies near me makes things a little more calm. 

There are still 1% deals but the more attractive part is Columbus is an expanding city, with several significant companies relocating to the area in the near future, resulting in an abundance of new job opportunities. 

This stands as a testament to the fact that even in an ever-changing landscape, there are still abundant opportunities available for those with the right strategy and mindset.

I'd encourage you to adopt an abundance mindset, there's enough to go around, and what doesn't work for you might work for someone else.

They're willing to let you just take over their payments.Now go figure out how to get in contact with those people and you will find that there is an abundance of deals everywhere.
