I have worked with Patrick Knudsen on three separate real estate transactions in New Orleans, and I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone serious about short-term rental investment in this city. Patrick's knowledge of the New Orleans STR market is genuinely unmatched. He doesn't just find properties — he understands the nuances of neighborhoods, the regulatory landscape, the revenue potential, and the operational realities that separate a great STR investment from a costly mistake. That expertise has been invaluable to me at every stage of the process, from identifying the right opportunities to negotiating terms that reflect the true value of what I was acquiring. On our most recent deal — a seven-unit commercial property in Bywater — Patrick went above and beyond in every sense of the phrase. The transaction was complex, the stakes were high, and his guidance throughout was steady, sharp, and deeply informed. He brought the kind of professionalism and personal investment in the outcome that you simply don't find in every agent. Three transactions. Three closings. Zero regrets. If you are looking to invest in New Orleans short-term rentals and you want someone who will treat your investment with the same care they would their own, Patrick Knudsen is your person. I would not work with anyone else.
