Just getting started in S. Indiana

[Clay Norsworthy]

I am going to purchase my first home soon. I have a bit more work to do before I can purchase a home. I have a few concerns about my location, or the location options of my purchase. I have been researching real estate investing for two years, I find multi-family housing appealing. I am here to gain a clear image of what I want and gain knowledge from others experiences.

I work full time, go to school, and run a small business. My business is growing rapidly, and I want to keep the momentum going within my life. I've been goofing off most of my adult life. Only two years ago I had a mountain of debt, credit/collections issues and was living out of my car making less than $500 a month. I've worked pretty hard and stayed consistent. My credit is pretty good now, all of my collections were removed/debts low or manageable (car and student loans). I will make between $50-60k this year, next year I should break $100k and want to put my hard work/cash towards a long term investment plan (which I don't have yet).
