Indianapolis Newbie!!
Hi everyone! My name is Alain and I'm excited about joining all of you and taking the first steps to starting my real estate investing career! I've been on the site going on two months now, but just now getting around to posting my introduction. I'm originally from Venezuela but as of the last 15 years my home town has been Indy; I am currently transitioning jobs, and will be a full time broker within two weeks. Will be working on getting a few rehabs under my belt this year, and would also like to begin putting together a rental portfolio at the same time.
I've been fortunate enough to connect with several local investors on the site and they have been nothing but friendly and helpful. Please, don't hesitate to reach out (whether you're from Indy or not)! And if you're from Indy, I always love meeting new faces, so let's meet up and chat sometime!
But anyways, see you all here!
Cheers
Alain

Welcome.
Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info. Here you will meet wholesalers who provide deals and rehabbers (cash buyers).
Two Great reads, I bought both J. Scott The Book on Flipping Houses, The Book on Estimating ReHab Costs http://www.biggerpockets.com/flippingbook
Consider checking out HUD homes for small multi's owner occupied gets first crack.
Download BP’s newest book here some good due diligence in Chapter 10. Real Estate Rewind Starting over
