Buying my first investment/rental in 2025!
Excited to be joining this community! After years of research and deliberation, my wife and I determined to start our real estate portfolio in 2025. We are starting the process of analyzing deals, making a plan and executing on it.

That's right, been eyeing all of those as well was Fort Wayne, IN
What about something like this in FTW: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/3207-Clint...? It says it has 6 bedrooms, wow!
That is on one of the largest arterial streets in the city, massive traffic count. Not the best area either.
My wife is a Top25 Realtor in Ft Wayne, I'm a licensed contractor and home inspector. Been investing here for 9 years. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the local market here or want to connect!
