New Orleans is my market too.

Exactly Tom all of my sub to over the years have been deals were we got the assets for far below market did rehab and resold generally within 9 to 12 months we never bought them to keep as rentals.

We’ve worked together for about 2 years now, and he is focused on the operations side of the business.There are many solid sponsors and operators in this asset class, some newer than us, and some older – and quite a bit of new money coming into this space (part of this is where we are in the market cycle, and other asset classes being overpriced like apartment buildings).I’ve personally had several conversations with @Jefferson Lilly (and met him at a conference), and he knows the space well.

I am considering investing in the Ohio market.
