The property is located in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana

What do people think about the the Reservoir Hill neighborhood and the Middle East between Orleans and Jefferson and Montford and Milton.

If you find yourself investing in that area of the metropolis let me know as I can share my list of tradespeople who do good work for us. 

@Marcus Jefferson  Try contacting a local Washington Federal branch.  

Not sure of the areas you drove by,But please check out these that are gentrifying in a large scale and investors are snapping them up:1) Palmer Woods2) Sherwood forest3) University District4) Boston Edison5) Green Acres6) North Rrosedale park7) Brush Park8) West Woodbridge9) Historic Atkinson10) Woodbridge11) Rouge Park12) Rivertown13) Rosedale Park14) Hubbard richard15) Far West detroit16) Grandmont17) Indian Village18) Corktown19) East English Village20) Belmont21) Aviation Sub22) Minock Park23) Grandmont#124) Bagley25) Buffalo34) Eliza Howell35) Grant36) Evergreen Lahser 7/837) Winship38) W Outer Dr39) Moross-Morang40) Morningside41) The Eye42) Jefferson Chalmers43) Eden Gardens44) Davison45) Evergreen-Outer46) Joy communityAnd btw I have "left out" a few selective areas here, for my purchasing criteria...I own 86 rentals SFRs and 1 commercial (a bank building), and keep the rent rolls ticking.With a crew on the ground (on payroll).Just saying, it is not for everyone, but for those who aspire, it is a possibility.One can't paint all of Detroit in one single brush.And that is the issue I see.

Bessemer is in Jefferson County, but that area of the county was sort of "peeled off" in the early 20th century, into an area known as the Bessemer Cutoff or sometimes just the Cutoff.

Also there is also the fact that Hardin county is becoming more desirable and we are seeing a population shift heading north from Jefferson county (see explosive growth of Lumberton, Texas.)

I've made my first purchase from the Jefferson County of Alabama.

I like the North Jefferson County area: Gardendale, Morris, Mount Olive, and a quiet (but outstanding place) Corner. 

The areas I cover are Pilsen to Jefferson Park to Evanston and I would consider that area A/B.
