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!
