Hi All,

My name is Ayan. I am a Software Engineer from Seattle, WA looking to get into get into Real Estate Investing. I am interested in Buy and Hold long term rental properties in Midwest area. I have been listening to podcasts, watching webinars, and reading books and articles related to real estate investing for about 6 months now. After reading "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing by David Greene", I got the courage to invest out of state.

After comparing various markets in Midwest, I am now looking to invest in Indianapolis, IN. I am working on shortlisting B-class neighborhoods that are majorly owner occupied, good school districts, low crime / vacancy rate, positive population migration over the years, etc. Simultaneously I try to analyze 1-2 properties per day to get a feel for the type of returns that can be expected from a particular neighborhood. My goal is to acquire a Single Family or Duplex through BRRRR in the next 6 months.

I would really appreciate any feedback and would love to connect with you all.
