Introduction - Indiana "Buy and Hold" Focus
Good evening, everyone,
My name is Chris and I am new to the forum. I would just like to write a quick introduction about myself: I am 31, single, no family, I work in Underwriting, a former and still licensed Flight Instructor, and a current law student. I am interested in acquiring investment buy-and-hold rental Single family homes or multi-family units in the Indianapolis or Fort Wayne area. I am from southern California and it will be my first time acquiring any properties for investment purposes.
I will actually be visiting the area with my parents 11/23 - 11/26 and will be glad to meet with any lenders, investment specialists, sales agents, property managers, on here from the area, who is knowledgeable and helpful in regards to first time investor needs and interests.
Since I am new on here, I am looking for any general tips, suggestions, links, and directions on this site on where I can find more useful information in attaining my goals.
Thank you in advance and I wish everyone the best.
Chris

Hi @Christopher Africa - there’s at least a couple TK companies in Indy if youre looking to go that route. I’ve been investing in Indy for a while and can provide some references from that standpoint.
Still a great city to invest in; Good C/B class properties for $60-$90k, cheap to set up an LLC and easy to evict, Lots of people and still lots of jobs.
