Investor from Richmond, VA exploring Louisville market

[Matthew Maggy]

Hello Kentuckyans. I live in Richmond, VA and have some family that lives in Lousville and I noticed that it's a pretty neat place with some great blue collar renter-type jobs at the confluence of rivers and was curious what the real estate market's like there? I'm not looking as much at metrics and numbers (although any that you can offer would be great) but more so about good neighborhoods to look in for Class B/C, recommendation of good teams, what rents are like. Anecdotes? I'd love to have a phone conversation with someone.

My preliminary research shows that it's a good place to invest from an economic perspective, but are the deals hard to find there now? Can good deals be had from wholesalers? Recommendations of property managers and contractors?

Any input is appreciated and I will be happy to share the same information about my market here in Richmond, VA.
