Very helpful Josh. Rent is OUTRAGEOUS in Alexandria, LA. About 8K/month. The buildings are either near condemned or almost there but not the right vibe. Very few options in my downtown area which is where this needs to be in my opinion and based on feedback.
5 year lease is too long at this point but everyone I talk to has been thinking on it but it hasnt been done yet.
