Hammond Indiana Real Estate Startup

[Ray Jansma]

Hey all! Glad to be new to this site and glad I can connect with you guys/gals.  I'm new to the real estate game.  Grew up around construction sites due to my father owning his own business throughout my childhood.  Im currently a police officer in Illinois that wants to get into real estate with an end game in mind of getting out of law enforcement earlier than later.  I'm currently setting up my team and mentors and making good headway.  I've been analyzing properties right now and have focused on Hammond Indiana.  The house prices are reasonable and is in a B to C range neighborhood but the cash flow appears pretty good if I can find a deal.  Am looking into a 2 or 3 unit to start and get my feet wet.  Any investors have an experience with the area I can shoot ideas off of or anyone have advise for a first timer with a full time job but have the time even while on duty to study and research and make phone calls to make this business successful.  I'm excited and have always been into real estate and evaluating properties for years now.  Just havent had the capital until now to finally jump in!
