While I do believe 2024 will be a red wave, and have stated so before, I'm only putting positions post Labor Day or as early as after the DNC. 

My cousin works for a mortgage company called Red Stick Financial in Baton Rouge. 

Is that another red flag?

The red tape is extensive.

He's a bartender at Red's (they have a great avocado dip).

The amount of red tape they will have to go through to get that approval - not happening.

.- Neighborhoods to Avoid: Are there any areas that I should steer clear of due to high crime rates, low property values, or other red flags?

Any red flags to watch out for?

That at least gives a red flag to future landlords.

It’s a Class B maybe B- neighborhood right across the river from a Class C town attracting opportunists that steal if you leave something out or unlocked.The tenants has a few red flags and I’d like some input on them after listening to some rental books.
