New investor in the Indianapolis area.

[Patrick Cruse]

My first (of hopefully many) Bigger Pockets posts!

I just moved from Las Vegas to Noblesville, Indiana with my wife and two young children about a month ago. I was a professional poker player for the last 11 years. I made a little over $100,000 in cash from the sale of my primary residence in Las Vegas. Once we find the neighborhood and school district we want to settle in around here we intend to buy another primary residence. I don't plan on using all of that money for a down payment though. I want to use the BRRRR method to acquire as many assets (Rich Dad Poor Dad style) in the form of Single Family Rentals as a I can. I have been reading/studying as much about real estate investing as possible for the last few months.

I want to build my trusted team asap and begin investing right away. I want to make sure I don’t suffer from analysis paralysis and I am looking forward to learning more on the fly as I begin investing. It would be challenging for me to find deals on my own without connections or a system yet put in place to make this happen.

I would love to find an agent that also invests, a tax guy, some wholesale connections, contracting leads, and anyone else that thinks they would benefit from helping me begin investing in real estate.

I intend to buy 10 or more properties in the next couple of years so hopefully I will be a quality asset to these people as well.

It's been a while since I have felt passionate about wanting to learn something like I am about real estate and it feels good. I would love to hear any other suggestions to speed up my learning curve.

Thanks for your time,

Patrick Cruse

@Patrick Cruse Welcome to BP and congrats on your move!  I am not that familiar with the market in Indy, but if you ever decide to move a little North I would be happy to help!  We've got some great buy and holds in the South Bend area which I am very familiar with.  If you are ever up this way, get a hold of me, I would love to show you around!  Good luck to you!
