Multi-family outside of Indianapolis

[Jalen De Leon]

Hello! I am a OOS investor residing in CA. I currently have one SFR rental property in Indianapolis and looking to expand into multi-family, mainly for the purpose of more cash flow. I was looking at MLS, Zillow, and Redfin and saw that a lot of the multi-family properties in Metro Indianapolis are old and are in pretty rough areas in Indianapolis. I was wondering if there is an alternate destination such as the out-ish skirts of Indianapolis? I dont want anything too far from Indianapolis but at the same time not too close to the rough areas of it. If anyone has any recommendations on what surrounding cities I should look into I'd greatly appreciate it!

Thank you!
