Network in Fort Wayne, IN
Hi All!
I am looking to invest in Fort Wayne and would like to make connections in the area. I live in Chicago and have investments in California and Illinois. I visited Fort Wayne this past weekend to research the neighborhoods and get a feel for the market. I am excited to get started investing here because it seems like a market where cash flow is still realistic in 2024. I would feel even more confident if I could build a network of other RE investing pros.
Can you suggest ways to network? Basically, I need a whole team: a real estate agent, a loan broker, possibly a property manager, etc. I am looking for buy-and-hold long-term rentals that require only minor fixup, if any. Because I'm prioritizing properties that will be rentable without much fixup, I would like to network with flippers too, and I would like to find off-market deals.
I look forward to meeting you all and making deals happen!
