New guy thoughts...
As I am considering to start here in Indy , I look around and notice there are lots of big investors with big pockets(no pun intended) and lots of experience making moves in the area too.
To me that's a good thing , it seems I am looking in the right direction.
At the same time I get to wonder...
How does someone with no previous experience and limited funding gets into the field and ends up finding a good deal. As I look at sites like zillow or realtor almost every day(multiple times) I see how a new property, with potential, from a day ago already have pending offers. While others, not so good of course, sit there for months. I would like to point out that when I say good/ bad deal I mean running the numbers..
Maybe is the lack of networking but I feel that as a "rookie" we are left with leftovers from the big guys.
Just a thought to hopefully start an enlightening conversation.

@Ronny Ovando Does the agent that helped you buy your house know that you are interested in investment properties? If you two had a good transaction before, you could probably just call them up and tell them what you are looking for. As long as you can give a somewhat specific criteria, they might have/come across something that would be a good fit for you. Its worth a shot, even if you still decide to look for an agent that focuses more on investments properties.
