Out of state investment property
Hello,
I am new to the BP community and had some questions regarding an out of state investment property. I am located in New York, due to the extremely high taxes I am looking to buy a property else where. I am thinking Indianapolis right now, I am looking into purchasing a duplex rental property. If you have any insight in other areas, reputable agents in the area, or reputable property managers, your insight would be very appreciated! Thank you very much!

Laura Gianiotis I agree with Mike Indianapolis can be a great market but you have to know the specific areas; we've generally steered clear. Saw your from West Islip, I actually grew up in Smithtown and live in Uniondale now. Started out trying to flip houses on Long Island and struggled like you mention. Ended up investing in a few deals outside Cincinnati for a total of 25 units and now I'm fortunate enough to work in real estate full time. If you have any questions, wanna chat or even grab a coffee feel free to reach out. We also do host a free monthly meetup centered around multifamily investing, just as a pure informational session and networking event. If you think you might be interested let me know or look for the event posted by John Cohen on biggerpockets, either way let me know if I can be of any help. Best of luck!
