Evansville IN Investment opprotunity questions

Christopher Labonte

Hey there all!

I'm a new investor, and have been looking at properties in and around Nashville TN for about 3 months.  The market seems to be quite hot, and I cant even get a property for the asking price.  Too many investors and not enough properties.  I will continue to try, however and opportunity has presented itself in Evansville IN.  

I'm not planning on managing it, purely for passive income.  I have some questions that maybe the BP community can help me with.

Im familiar with the Nashville area market (enough to invest semi confidently).  The Evansville market I haven't started looking into until a few days ago.  Population growth is flat, as well as income.  Average income is about 50k which isn't terrible.  My issue/question/problem (hopefully from that market will see this) I have no clue what to offer.  The listing agent as well as the property manager both say its high, but also say its renovated (t-minus 0 years aka brand new).  The market has been so flat for so long barley any properties have been changing hands so there is nothing I can compare it with.  Does anyone have suggestions on where I can go from here to find out what a fair offer would be?
