Wooot!!! Louisiana House Bill 135 Passes 100 – 0 in LA House of Representatives!
I was there sitting in the balcony watching the proceedings below. My first time in the LA House of Representatives, and well WOW! There is alot going on! You have to pay attention and follow well because the pace is brisk. Be prepared. I actually took a little video which I will share as soon as I get a chance to edit. Good stuff, though I should have kept it running for about a minute more, ohh well. I have attached some good pictures which were taken in the waiting room outside the Louisiana House of Representatives.
I would like to thank Louisiana State Representative John Schroder and LA Realtors President Elect 2012 Rick Roberts. I am not sure who the other guy in the picture is… he looks a little familiar but… 🙂
Thank you LA State Representative John Schroder and Louisiana Realtors 2012 President Elect Rick Roberts.

Halfway There!
On May 24, the Louisiana House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted, 100-0, to pass House Bill 135, our transfer tax constitutional amendment. Numerous Realtor were present at the State Capitol for REALTOR DAY and cheered loudly when the bill passed.
In all likelihood, HB 135 will be heard next in the Senate Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Committee the week of June 6. The Senate Floor vote could occur late in the week of June 6 or early the following week. When the committee hearing is finalized, we will provide you with that information.
Remember to visit our campaign website, www.staytaxfree.com, and encourage your family, friends, neighbors, customers and clients to sign up for our campaign updates on the website. It’s important that we begin now to build a database of supporters so we can drive those voters to the polls in November.
For more information, please contact Norman Morris at 1-800-266-8538.

Be prepared to vote on HB 135 in November 2011. The Northshore Area Board of Realtors will be working hard on getting the word out. This is a good bill. It eliminates real estate transfer taxes from being enacted in the State of LA.
Less Taxes and Smaller Government!
Thank You

What’s Happening St. Tammany??
There was an antique car show in Covington, Louisiana at the Lee’s Hamburgers located on Highway 190 across from Wal Mart. There were oldies playing in the background while people came out to see some nostalgic cars from previous eras. It gave car enthusiasts a chance to not only take a look at these cars but it also gave them a chance to show their children what these vehicles are all about.
Enjoy!

Mellowfest 2011 took place on Saturday, May 21, 2011 at the Mellow Mushroom located in Covington, Louisiana. The Bout It Brass Band once again headlined the event. I first saw this band at last year’s Mellowfest and when I heard they were going to be playing Mellowfest again, I had to video them so I could post it for everyone to enjoy. So sit back and relax and enjoy the Bout It Brass Band!
Thanks!

Buy A Multi Family Property in St Tammany Parish With As Little As 3.5% Down.
There are specific requirements which both you, as the Purchaser, and also the subject property must meet. (for one; the property has to be in a livable condition.) However, if you are a first time home buyer, or someone looking to downsize, or start fresh, maybe after a divorce…? You are able to purchase a duplex, a tri-plex or a quad-plex, with FHA backed financing with a 3.5% down payment. Not to mention… As long as the subject property is your primary residence then the lender is able to count your new anticipated rents as income.
For St Tammany Parish, the current FHA purchase price limits are as follows:
- Single family residence - $287,500
- Double or Duplex – $368,050
- Tri-Plex – $444,900
- 4-Plex or Quad – $552,900
For Tangipahoa Parish, the current FHA purchase price limits are:
- Single family residence – $271,050
- Double or duplex – $347,000
- 3-plex or tri-plex – $419,425
- 4-plex or quad plex -$521,250
For Washington Parish, the current FHA purchase price limits are:
- Single family residence – $271,050
- Double or duplex – $347,000
- 3-plex or Tri-plex – $419,425
- 4-plex or Quad-plex – $521,250
Buying a duplex and living in one half while renting the other out is a great way to live with a low note, as well build equity with an income generating property. Why not do the same with a 3 or 4 plex? Get yourself on the path of financial freedom!
If you would like for us to place you in touch with an FHA certified lender, so you may pre-qualify yourself for a purchase; please contact us at 985-867-8670 or at marc@mmsre.com.
Thank You
Marc
