Does anybody have an ideal on whether or not new Orleans la is a great market for multi-family units.

It would be ideal if I could avoid capital gains altogether.  

It has 3 bedrooms on the first floor, 3 bedrooms on the second floor and an in law suite on the third floor with its own bathroom and kitchen. at 270k it seems like a good enough deal.

We want to have 2-3 STRs in 3 years ideally.

Ideally this can be done at a reasonable cost and results in significantly more value than the cost.  

Which would ideally allow for forced appreciation and a lower mortgage payment so potentially better cashflow if you can rent it for the same amount.

Your going to file suit for eviction and damages.  

Ideally I would like to bring my handyman over to walk the inside of the property and get his thoughts since he would be better at estimating repair/reno costs than I.I will be getting a HM loan and would like some input on what you think good terms/rates would be for someone who is new to HM lending. 

I ideally I would love to get 50-100 doors with a few investors who would like to build a great relationship based on trust, commitment and personal growth.

It's close by and I actually have plenty of family in the area; so it's an ideal area for me.
