My opinion...good ole cold calls are painful. 

ThanksI have one south loop condo that I want to rent out (recent tenant moveout) Would have liked to buy a 3 flat (about 3-4 years ago) but wasnt sure if the timing, amount of work needed, market etc. was all aligned, so had cold feet. would like to learn more via these groupsthanks 

Quote from @Susan Maneck:  There is a strategic blue-print on how to usurp a democracy too Communism detailing this; "Rules For Radicals" that if you read should shoot a cold chill down your spin as it details blow for blow exactly what's been happening for years, and what it's all leading up to becomes obvious as well as true intents. 

South Louisiana has cooler temps and is cold (day time highs in the 50s) in the winter, so we were thinking more about these months, than the 3 months in the summer when it's hot and humid.  

Start cold calling and find an amazing deal.

This obviously isn't my only marketing channel, but it is one of them to go allow with cold calling and texting.I appreciate anyones advise.

But I know many people who haven't invested over the last few years because of the cartels and who bitterly regret it given what the market has done there.As to the government, I'm not sure what your issue is and when you lived there.
