That being said, as a resource here in the area I would love to partner with anyone looking to invest in the area.

I have taken initiative to learn as much as possible through books, podcasts, blogs, BP, and other resources (still a lot to learn!). 

That said there are charities, county and state resources they can turn to point them in those directions if needed.

Dear All,  I wonder if anyone would point me the resource or any sort of guideline, how to do seller financing?

The three most investor friendly banks in the New Orleans area are Home Bank, Resource Bank and Investar.

If you don't mind, I'm going to share with you a step-by-step guide that commercial brokers in NYC like myself would use:1) Check market demands: Before anything, you'd need to find sales and rentals reports for your neighborhood and check the current inventory.

The other option I looked at was GroundFloor which I found in the bigger pockets directory here for crowd funding, however I believe the interest rate will be high since this is a 0 exp flip.However, my father has been running a contracting business for a very long time and he will be my main resource when flipping these first few when it comes to the rehab portion.

Don't know if your state uses lawyers or escrows, but find a reputable person that can and will guide you through the deal. 

We are looking for someone to help guide us in estimating rehab costs and hopefully we can begin to work together once we feel that we have an adequate understanding of those costs.

Here's a great resource page for the Hammond tax situation.
