    LA RE Talks EP 17: Will Louisiana’s $2 Billion Port DESTROY St Bernard Parish Property Values?

    Will the nearly $2 billion Louisiana International Terminal cause property values in St. Bernard Parish to crash or could the massive port project actually increase demand for Real Estate? That question has become increasingly important for homeowners in Violet, Chalmette, Meraux, and throughout St. Bernard Parish as the LIT project moves closer to becoming a reality. In this episode of Louisiana Real Estate Talks, Courtney Fricke sits down with St. Bernard Parish Real Estate broker Mike Fernandez of Arpent Realty, who decided to stop guessing and actually look at the data. Mike studied communities surrounding other major ports and industrial projects, reviewed the LIT property-value study, analyzed comparable housing markets, and spoke directly with Real Estate brokers operating around similar projects. And what he found challenges some of the strongest claims being made on both sides of the Louisiana International Terminal debate.

    EP 119: You’ve Probably Already Done a Curative Title Deal

    Curative title might be one of the hottest niches in real estate investing right now but the problems themselves aren't new. If you've been investing for any length of time and have actually put in the reps, there's a good chance you've already encountered curative title problems. You may have even solved a few without realizing that's what you were doing. In this micro episode of the Messy Money Podcast, Courtney Fricke challenges experienced real estate investors to look backward instead of chasing another new list. Those old deals that died at the title company, properties with ownership problems you couldn't figure out, or leads you passed on because they were simply too messy could be some of your best curative title case studies and potentially future opportunities.

    LA RE Talks EP 16: How Will SpaceX Impact Louisiana Real Estate?

    SpaceX coming to Louisiana is no longer just a rumor. Now the bigger question is: What could one of the largest economic development projects in Louisiana history actually do to Louisiana Real Estate? In this episode of the Louisiana Real Estate Talks Podcast, Courtney Fricke and Stephen Keighery break down the potential Real Estate impact of SpaceX’s massive new development in Vermilion Parish—and why the effects could eventually stretch well beyond the immediate area. The announced project represents approximately $100 billion in investment on a 125,000-acre site, with projections for 3,000 direct jobs averaging roughly $92,600 per year, plus approximately 8,100 indirect jobs. That raises a very practical Real Estate question: Where are all of these people going to live? Whether you're a Real Estate investor, business owner, developer, policymaker, or simply someone who cares about Louisiana's future, this episode provides an honest discussion about where Louisiana stands today and where it may be headed next.ATTENTION:The information shared in this episode is for educational and informational purposes only and reflects personal experiences and opinions.

    EP 118: How to Find Curative Title Deals Nobody Else Is Chasing

    A lot of curative title investors are looking for the same thing: The secret list. The problem is, if someone can hand you a copy-and-paste list of distressed properties, they can probably hand that exact same list to everyone else. As more investors move into curative title, traditional lead sources like tax delinquency, code enforcement, probate, vacant properties, and foreclosure are only going to become more competitive. So how do you find curative title opportunities other investors aren't chasing? You learn how to build your own niche lists. In this episode of the Messy Money Podcast, Courtney Fricke breaks down what she means when she says she's made money in Real Estate simply by being curious—and shares a real curative title deal where one unusual creditor led her down a rabbit hole that ultimately uncovered an entirely new source of potential deals.

    Louisiana spent years watching insurance companies leave the state. Now, insurers are coming back. After years of historic premium increases, insurance carrier insolvencies, fewer coverage options, and tens of thousands of Louisiana property owners relying on Citizens, there are finally signs that Louisiana's property insurance market may be stabilizing. But is the insurance crisis actually getting better? In this episode of the Louisiana Real Estate Talks podcast, Courtney Fricke and Stephen Keighery break down what they're seeing in the Louisiana property insurance market in 2026 — both across the state and firsthand within their own Real Estate portfolios. Whether you're a Real Estate investor, business owner, developer, policymaker, or simply someone who cares about Louisiana's future, this episode provides an honest discussion about where Louisiana stands today and where it may be headed next.

    EP 117: How to Get Your First Curative Title Deal: A Step-by-Step Guide

    If you want to get your first curative title deal, you don't need the perfect list, expensive software, or to understand every complicated legal issue before you start. You need to start developing the ability to recognize the problems other Real Estate investors overlook. In this episode of the Messy Money Podcast, Courtney Fricke breaks down a practical, step-by-step process for finding and pursuing your first curative title opportunity. Instead of starting with massive lists and trying to scale a strategy you don't understand yet, Courtney walks through how to pick a market, find distressed properties, research ownership and public records, identify potential title problems, narrow down the best opportunities, find the right people to contact, and start having conversations. The goal isn't to become a title expert overnight. It's to start putting in the reps that teach you how to recognize where physical, financial, and ownership problems may be creating opportunities.
