We're looking into camera options to monitor vacant properties being advertised for rent.

I’m looking for a 2-4 unit property around the country and I’ve circled back to NOLA due to the inexpensive  multifamily properties that is available a few questions…Is this market saturated? 

They have a portfolio of options that sell first to locals for as little as $1,000 if you have the rehab budget and local contractors.

Typically it is asking too much for rent, but it could be your advertising is poor or your property is not in good condition for that area."

Special business tax preferences, such as a special deduction for energy-efficient commercial building properties, should be eliminated.Regarding the OP's question, I see no specific Project 2025 policy that will impact investment real estate. 

I’m considering selling and using the proceeds to reinvest in a long term rental closer to where I live but before I do, I am curious if you think a rental management company may be able to help boost rentals, thus making this a profitable property? 

I have a rental property that I am rehabbing to put it on the market to rent.

And, you won’t have to worry about how long it will take to sell.

In that time, I am hoping to at least get two properties and have it maintained by a property manager even if I do have to leave after the 6 years.
