Getting started in Indianapolis

Hi everyone,

I've spent the past few days scanning BP and am very excited about the community that you all have established. There is plenty of positive and honest advice that seems relevant to all.

I'm a recent college graduate (economics) living in central Indiana and looking to get started with a single family rental or duplex. I work at a bank in Indianapolis as a commercial credit analyst (investment real estate / commercial & industrial) and have started to familiarize myself with the area because I have a strong belief that people should only invest in what they know.

If any experienced investors in the area would like to meet up for a drink or coffee I would love to pick your brain and see if I can help out in any way. I'd also appreciate any book recommendations or other resources that anyone has found to be helpful.

Thanks for allowing me to introduce myself. I look forward to contributing to the forums in the future.

Best,

Robert Anderson
