    Welcome to BP Shane. I love NOLA and visited quite a bit when I was stationed in Shreveport...what a fun town! Hopefully I will have a chance to get back there sometime soon.

    Two Great reads, I bought both J. Scott The Book on Flipping Houses,The Book on Estimating ReHab Costshttp://www.biggerpockets.com/flippingbook

    Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info.

    You might consider Niche or Specialized Housing like student housing. Rents can be 2-4 times more. Remember you don't have to own a property to control it.
