Indianapolis Buy and hold strategy - new investor needs advice

[Brian Singh]

Hi BP members

I am looking into a buy and hold strategy for cash-flow and Indianapolis are looks reasonable .

I am looking at C+ abd B area SFH.

As I look to build my Core 4 I wanted to hear experience out of state investor have had here and share any info .

Realtor - What is the typical support you can expect ( i know it depends on each realtor) : Do they help find you the deal or you just pound the MLS and let them know which proprty you like and they check it out for you.

Property management co: I am looking in the suburbs of south indy . What is the typical management fee they charge and for repairs what has been your experience. 

Handyman/Contractors- Do you let the property management co handle that or you have your own guys .

Home buying
Inspections: Is there something specific for Indy you have to look at - Radon, septi tank etc .

Home type- I am looking for 3Br 2 Bath - what is the most prefer type of house that tenants with family prefer there.

Thanks

Brian
