It’s officially been one year since I moved from Louisiana to Florida, but I never stopped investing in Louisiana. In this episode of Louisiana Real Estate Talks, we flip the microphone and Stephen Keighery interviews me about what the first year has actually looked like. We talk about starting over in the competitive Tampa Bay real estate market, questioning whether my skills would transfer to a new state, and why I've had to be more cautious investing in Florida than I expected. We also get into what it takes to continue operating a Louisiana real estate business while living hundreds of miles away, including maintaining relationships, building a boots-on-the-ground network, becoming more selective about deals, and why complex title and ownership problems have become an even bigger part of my business. Have a question for me? ASK ME ANYTHING in the comments. Whether it's about moving to Florida, investing in multiple states, operating remotely, starting over in a new market, Louisiana real estate, or what I've learned over the last year, drop your question below. If we get enough questions, I'll record a Part 2 answering them. 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.
