I've chosen the NOLA area as a market of choice and I'm just curious if any investors out there would be willing to share information on what they pay for rehabs.

The address is 12201 Cactus Dr Desert Hot Springs CA 92240!

Can anyone tell me anything about Blue Moon and if I have chosen a good company to work for?

i did a search but could not exactly find an answerHow do I find areas within  my chosen market where sfh rent the fastest?

All of your info sounds laced more with conspiracy theories as it is picked and chosen to support confirmation bias as opposed to real analysis. 

I've chosen a market that I invest in anyways, know the area, the values, brokers, realtors, wholesalers and GCs in as well.

Their chosen route is likely because they believe the appreciation route is too risky. 

If you purchased a home for $40k, that rents for $650/month, and you are spending $500/mo on expenses, you have chosen poorly. $42k into 30 year loan @ 5% = $225 expensesInsurance & taxes @ $100/mo = $100 expensesThat right there is $325/month for expenses.

I have turned them over to a firm that is well known, but I am now having second thoughts if I have chosen wisely.

Of course, if you're in a war-zone class D environment, you may desire more, but you should have chosen more wisely.
