New Indianapolis Investor

[Christy Brinkruff]

I live in Indianapolis suburb. I have some cash and would love to start investing in Indianapolis, but I'm unfamiliar with safe areas with good cash flow. Most of the areas in Indianapolis that seem affordable & fit the 1% rule are not areas where I would feel safe walking in the evening. I've been analyzing deals on the MLS without much luck. This is especially hard now with a record low number of homes in the MlS. I would love some advice on the direction I should take and contacts who could help advise me on good areas/ wholesalers, etc. I recently had a very unsuccessful flip and want to make sure I do my research & buy/hold with the next home.  Thanks!

Hey Christy,

Welcome to the community! I would recommend you network with as many people as possible to start building your team in Indy. Finding deals via the MLS is possible, but can become difficult when inventory is low as it has been for a while. Connecting with individuals in the area can lead you to finding more deals. This will also streamline your investing since deals will be presented to you instead of you searching for them.

My team in Indy has great relationships with PMs and other professionals in the area and we often receive off-market deals that we can present to our clients. If you need help getting started feel free to reach out! I would be happy to connect you with PMs, contractors and other professionals that can help you get started.

All the best,

Ivan Guillen
