LA RE Talks EP 3: Is Cash Flow REALLY Dead in Louisiana? (2026 Reality Check)

In this episode of Louisiana Real Estate Talks, Courtney Fricke and Stephen Keighery tackle the question investors keep asking in 2026:

Is cash flow actually dead in Louisiana?

You have probably heard it.

Insurance is up.

Interest rates are up.

Rents feel flat.

Deals are “not penciling.”

Some investors are sitting on the sidelines. Others are leaving the state entirely.

But is cash flow truly dead… or has the market simply changed?
