House Hacking Now ...next step questions??

First of all I always like to start with saying that the BP community has been such a great resource for me and I have spent countless nights losing track of time reading posts. Lol

I wanted to pose a question to investors or those who know about investing in the Indianapolis area. But before that, let me give a little background/context so you know where I’m coming from.

Let me begin by giving you my (general) end goals: I am not interested nor desire to become a full time real estate investor. I just don’t see myself doing very well at that in a full time capacity. My goal is to work full time somewhere... and have around 5-6 rental units on the side so that my wife has the ability to stay home and there is less of a financial burden on us once we have kids. The problem is... I don’t excavated know what I’m doing!

A few months ago My wife and I bought a duplex, and we house hack it. Her and I only pay about $400 before utilities to live here. This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time and discovered this method from a BP resource. It feels great to have achieved this! However I am already unsatisfied because I want to keep progressing.

A lot of the investor lingo and things confuse me as I try my best to educate myself. But at this point I feel that ‘the tires may be spinning in the mud’. So my question is, does anyone know of any people, classes, mentors, or recourses... specifically in the Indianapolis area that I could learn from?

I understand the WHAT... just need help understanding the HOW when it comes to this stuff.

Thanks!

(Sorry if I’ve given too much info! Just wanted to be clear.)
