The real estate market in Greater New Orleans has undergone significant changes in recent months, making it both an intriguing and challenging time for buyers, sellers, and investors.

When you renew, you can add a pet deposit with the new lease. 

Hey @Bobby Valcin, no I didn't do it myself, I hired a contractor in my real estate investing group. 

I am new to real estate investing and was looking into taking a heloc on my primary to purchase land and do a construction loan.

I am an experienced real estate investor out of Phoenix, Arizona.
