New Member Introduction

[Rita Casco]

I am a newbie from Washington DC. I am retired and new to real estate investment. I live overseas and plan to invest in the Washington DC area and in Indianapolis, IN. I have been reading books on REI and listening to Bigger Pockets webinars, forum and the Marketplace for the past year. I plan to buy distressed or outdated single-family homes in DC area and Indianapolis below market value to rehab and sale. I need to find a Realtor who is also a REI, a reliable contractor, and a property manager both in DC and in Indianapolis. Any assistance with these issues is highly appreciated.

@Rita Casco I've been active in Indianapolis since 2010 and know the market well. I'd be happy to help if I can. I don't want to discourage you but you also need to be realistic and understand the challenges going in. I think you're going to find it very difficult to do what you want to do from overseas.
