Income Propertyby Frank Rubi7824 Real Estate of Louisiana 
 
There is good news and bad news as the old saying goes. The good news is that income property does bring in good money. The bad side is dealing with the tenants. Now I will not give you my thoughts on the lending practices of today. I feel they will change shortly.
Most problems that investors encounter can be eliminated before they become problems. The most important and common sense is in the screening process. Do your work up front and you will save yourself a lot of time and … (1 comments)

destrehan: Investment Property - Location -Location - Location - 10/02/08 12:45 PM
 
When purchasing investment property one of my businesses philosophy as well as personal rules are to buy locally. When investing in real estate with my own money I have and will always purchase property that I can reach within 15 minutes. I have owned property that was only a 45 minute drive which turned out very bad. One way a 45 minute drives to check a plumbing issue or pick up a rent, not fun and who has the time.
With this said the reason I am posting today is investors purchase several properties in the greater New Orleans area … (6 comments)

It's getting to be that Time of Year
 
I am starting to see to see the signs of Fall and the upcoming holiday season. If you go to Home Depot, Sams or Wal-Mart just take a look around. In addition, I am seeing more homes decorated in Destrehan LA for Holloween. Close to Destrehan there is a pumpkin patch farm. For years my kid's schools have made the annual field trip to Montz Pumpkin Farm and Hayride. Located at 17834 River Road, phone 985.652.3672.

This may help someone. Over a year ago I set up a page on Facebook. I have had two contacts from the page. Both were old friends. The second contact was from my childhood. She lived on the block. She is in the market for a new home. I have not talked or seen her in about 30 years. Now we renew our friendship and catch up and maybe get some business from this Facebook contact. I don't know much about Facebook and will not try, just not enough time.

Golf at the Chateau Golf and Country Club is challenging but to me very forgiving. I enjoy the play of a round of golf on @ Chateau Golf and Country Club. I was lucky to recently play a round with a club member and enjoy the afternoon.  The course is line with tree along its fairways. The course to me plays fast.  The eighteen has the added water hazard, which always leave me asking why I play this game? In my opinion the sixteenth is the hardest hole … (1 comments)
