I snicker at the notion of "high end" and "rental." It made things difficult for me when I moved to Atlanta, because up here even the worst I-20 shithole is going to try to sell you on its amenities. Man, I just wanted a box to sleep in and be safe while I got my bearings. I don't need a wine cozy or a business center.
That said, $1,500 sounds like it ought to be enough to get you squarely out of the "trashy" category in Lake Charles. I would expect something good with good neighbors at that price.

I worked a summer in college cleaning and refurbishing apartments after the tenants moved out. I could write a book on the unbelievable stuff people did to the properties. It scared me away from owning rental property forever.

Baton Rouge is about $1600-2000 for middle of the road, non luxury.
Where in Baton Rouge is the rent $1600-2000 a month for middle of the road townhome?

In 2014 the apartments off Corporate that were 3 bedroom were $1500-$1700.
My two bedroom off Bluebonnet was $1200.
That’s the frame of reference. I consider those middle of the road.
I don’t have WiFi so I can’t go pull the listings but I promise you for a 3bd room it’s in that referenced range.

You can get a 2BR at the Enclave off of Corporate for like $1300-1400. As far as apartments go, they are pretty nice and gated.

Not if they are using a Section 8 voucher for rental, then they only are responsible for a small portion of the rent AND all damage for repairing the unit is covered by the agency (our tax $$$). Basically, most all rent money is guaranteed by the government as are the repairs. When they destroy the unit when they leave, the owner gets a remodel of the unit paid for by the government. Tenants generally don't care or don't know how to maintain their residence and believe it's not their problem.

You obviously have zero idea what you’re talking about
YOU implied that $1,600 in LAKE CHARLES was low rent. What I said was the only way you would ever find townhomes ABOVE THAT AMOUNT were in New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Never said they would not be above that range; quite the opposite, actually.
Reading is fundamental, sir.

Assuming we’re talking about properties targeted to students, this would be pretty normal. They figure they’re going to get $500-800 per student.

That’s who screwed me over most with my last rental. They left fleas and freakin concrete blocks everywhere. And broken furniture in the overgrown backyard.

you people probably just have a very different definition of trashy
No, i consider most lower middle class to be trashy, not all but most. 1600 is high end for townhomes in LC, nobody really wants a townhome here.

A person can be hardworking, have more obligations than you can fathom, and still not be able to take home much at the end of the day.
Your intelligence on this topic is not working very hard.

while i agree with you, most, atleast in LA, in that income bracket are inherently trashy. Hard working, but trashy and not someone I would want to rent to.

Yep, and let's not mention the "pop-up" subdivisions along Tiger Bend and Jones Creek Roads. They will be Section 8 rentals within 10 years.

Nothing will drive the quality of a neighborhood down quite like lease homes.
