@Account Closed, very cool for you. Start advertising it on craiglist 'for rent' now. Push the rent closer to $600 & feel out the call volume. Slowly drop the rent while you're doing the work if you aren't having any bites. 

Remember, taxes & insurance (+future surprises.) Still, you're going to have a great return.

You're going to be great! Feel free to call if I can offer any Louisiana insight. Tami 225.773.711one
