First rental investment property

[Damian Robinson]

Looking to buy a fully rehabbed house in the 1316 Indianapolis 46208 area and am concerned about it being a war zone.

Is this a neighborhood I should stay away from and if so what areas should I be looking at?

@Damian Robinson 46208 encompasses a few different neighborhoods which vary greatly ... Butler Tarkington, Riverside, Crown Hill, Golden Hill, Rocky Ripple ... each with its own characteristics and rental prospects. My advice: pull up the Redfin website, pull up sale records for the past 6 months, write down names of realtors who have sold the most homes in your target area, and call them directly with your questions. I think that would be of most benefit to you.
