Do you have the funds to support your niche investing?

The demand for all trades in the area is so high that these contractors can practically extort clients. 

I reckon we just need a little support approaching our first “long flip” if you will :) We either want to be in 29407 or downtown or Folly Beach (I know we are dreaming) but we are not afraid of a challenge!

If the deal isn't good enough to support a reasonable commission, it probably isn't really a deal.

How do you charge clients?

I will say, its doubtful that you will find anything that will actually support a 5+unit building on a single lot in New Orleans.

whats your strategy generating new clients?

Generally, these will be lower income neighborhoods which already had problems.BUT, for those neighborhoods which had a strong support base and higher incomes, they could afford to have a volunteer Fire Dept, hire private security to drive the neighborhood, and keep the quality of their education for the kids up via private schools, which are generally expensive.When the down turn happens, richer families which sought to save money and chosed to live in the lower income neighborhoods, find themselves leaving the lower income neighborhoods and moving to the safer, higher income neighborhoods.
