Good market or not so much thx I'm a multi-generational New Orleanian who has been in Real Estate for 20+ years full time as a Realtor and an investor.

Now, three years later, my tenant reported cracks in every room—paint cracking and full-line cracks in the bathroom, living room, and bedroom (walls, ceiling).A drywall contractor looked at it and said it’s normal wear and tear, but I’m concerned since it’s in every room.

Telling them they have 10 days to pay in full otherwise I CAN take them to court to evict.

My sacrifice… no haircuts and no fast food. 1 job full time, 1 full time side hustle. 0 debt at the time other than student loans.

If that is full RC for roof and home that is a good price for that area!

It’s a full-time commitment, especially when you’re just starting out.

For context I am a full time lender and understand DTI and have very good credit.
