Nice Area, would love to see some photos when you are done with the build. 

Sounds like a solid deal. What part of New Orleans is it in?

There should be an assessor site for the county which has the tax details for the property including the legal owner and hopefully a mailing address.  You will need to skip trace them to get a phone number. 

In terms of offers, I like to find out what they would need to sell it and then see if I can make the numbers work. If they don't I will tell them where I need to be to make a deal. If the numbers don't work but we are close or there is motivation  just keep checking in every month or so to see where they are at. I get a lot of deals on the follow up.

Nice work Adam, house hacking is a great strategy. I am from NOLA so am curious where the duplex is exactly?

Get with local wholesaler who is doing volume and commit to JV'ing your first few deals with them. This way you don't have to worry about buyers and can just focus on finding deals and draw on your partner to check your numbers.

Nice! Then you have a home run with multiple options. Keep stacking them up. 

@Eduardo Conde learn how to buy subject to the existing mortgage. This is a powerful strategy to build a rental portfolio.

@Lauren Larsen Google terms that house sellers would Google and you will find the good ones. You can also join local facebook groups and find plenty. Good luck.

Nice job @Payton Pearson. Will the numbers still work if you can't Airbnb it? In New Orleans they changed a lot of the laws and added restrictions on Airbnb and obviously Corona happened to tourism so wondering if it still works if something happens to your ability to Airbnb?

Nice work @Thomas Burnett. Don't listen to all the negativity in this thread. BP isn't very wholesale friendly and there are lots of agents who believe a realtor is the answer for everything. Go to your REIAs and hang out with investors and you will find that you are valued. Keep going and growing.
