Newbie From Indy

[Daniel Dow]

Hello all!
My name is Daniel, I've lived in the Indianapolis area for just about 7 years. I've had a desire to invest in buy and hold rentals properties since I was old enough to know what "rent" was. 

I've nearly jumped in a few times, but only recently have I really learned what it entails, thanks to Bigger Pockets. 

My wife and I are closing our first deal this week: a live-in flip. In 2017 our goal is to obtain one SFH rental property to test the waters. If all goes well, we'll use the BRRR strategy to get 2 more in 2018, and over the course of several years work our way to 30 doors. I have several and varied skills, contacts, resources, but I am always on the lookout for others with complimenting interests and resources to share with and learn from.

Hi @Daniel Dow, welcome to BP! Congratulations on your first deal! I've been working on a live in flip (now live in buy and hold) of my own for awhile. Hopefully you're a better contractor than I am. :) But it's definitely a great way to get started and learn the ins and outs of the business.

@Daniel Dow I operate a property management company in Indianapolis called Intrigue Indy. I am also a licensed real estate broker with Nottingham Realty Group and I have had a lot of success helping investors (both local and out-of-state) buy investment properties, repair them, and either lease them to quality tenants (BRRRR) or sell them as a flip (BRSR). Let me know how I can help! I’d love to connect for coffee!
