Looking to buy first rental in Bloomington Indiana. Any advice?

Jake Mango

TLDR: Looking for any general info/tips about rental market in Bloomington Indiana.

I've been eager to invest in real estate for the last few years and now finally raised my income/credit to get approved for a multi family in a decent area. I have $75K saved up to get started. I'm from Long Island NY and run a small business. I am not looking to do a house hack at this time.

I have been doing research and understand that Indiana is a popular state for investing. I see Bloomington is a nice area with several management companies and I'm assuming strong rental market due to the local university. I found a 3 unit property that should cash flow around $650 after mortgage, taxes, insurance and management fees. From my understanding this is a good margin for an out of state rental. However I came across some articles saying the area has laws that are less landlord friendly than the rest of the state such as strict occupancy permits?

Is anyone here familiar with investing in the area/things to know or look out for? Any info is appreciated thank you for your time.
