@Louise A.-hey thanks so much for the encouragement!! I moved here for a better school for my daughter, now I'm moving on to doing something for myself.  Living free would be a dream!!  

Thank you @Wil Reichard.....Such great advice!  I am so glad that I found this site!! I will always let others know what I don't know!!  I'm looking at all the duplexes in my area and trying to learn what is a great deal here. (and still reading-will add Millionaire real estate investor)  Thanks again!

Welcome!

Oh wow would I love to work with you!! But then I meet no qualifications!!! Ruby on Rails? Okay I'm searching now!!  Never too old to learn!!

Kindness is not weakness!  Evict. Do not make anymore attempts to locate her.  good luck!

@Wil Reichard-thank you!  I'm trying to use all my free time reading articles on Bigger Pockets and webinars and real estate books!! I get overwhelmed at times, but when you try to change your life around, it takes patience!

Does anyone in my area have advice for a newbie who  house-hacks?  I'm presently looking in Gulfport, Ms High area.   Who knows, the sophomore may graduate early! I'm looking to house hack a duplex or triplex  and  then  rent my current house.  I can house hack for a year or two and locate a smaller house to move into when I retire from my full-time employment.    Thanking you in advance for any information!

Beautiful job on the house. Good luck.  Keep us posted on the renting!

@Mike W., you are so right. If you could find housing after Katrina, it was extremely overpriced. The red cross and FEMA offer assistance. There are Churches and volunteers that come in to help people .gut properties. Houston mayor said school will open September 11th . That's to make a plan and some normalcy. Banks and businesses should not even be taking payments! It's hard enough to find a loaf of bread after a flood.

@Anthony Ellison, where is she now - in a shelter?  What about her furniture?  She has to get it to get pictures.  But even a little bayou water will smell!  And if the landlord is repairing sheetrock how long is that going to take?  I cant understand the a/c still working after flooding unless they were elevated?  Check with the area health department.  Good luck.
