I think there's a lingering question that needs to be answered. I didn't read everything word for word and didn't see this mentioned but how do you delete your account? I have went through all of the options and can't find it nor can I delete my bank account (I only have one linked).

I'm a landlord in Indiana...and a renter. I'm a college student renting at this apartment complex with 3 other students. We moved in and thought we were getting bit by spiders...then about 5 weeks in we witness a bed bug. Report it, takes the management a week to get some out here with no notice of the inspection. It's going to take another week until they come out and remediate the situation. I talked to management yesterday and they were completely rude and asked why I was getting "heated". Well, the place is inhabitable in my opinion and I would get the problem fixed within a day for my tenants. Anyway, the management claimed that the exterminator told Ben that we brought the bed begs and that they were going to make us pay for it (split it between 4 students). Bed bugs were not found in my room (feces were), they were only found in 2 rooms. I personally called another exterminator who came it and found feces in all rooms and hallway and informed me that they could lose their license if they claimed to know where the bedbugs came from. I want to sue the apartment complex and exterminator for both making a claim that we brought the bed bugs and for wanting to charge us because my roommates and I believe they should pay for it and shouldn't take 2 weeks to remediate the situation. Also keep in mind that exterminator that I called and came the very next morning for the inspection also said they could do the remediation the day, so why can't the apartment do the same? Any advice???

Hey Rich, I'm from the Fort Wayne area and currently go to Purdue University in West Lafayette. I'm looking to get started with syndication with some people in Indy. We plan to cover all of Indiana. Connect if you'd like to know more or possible partner in the future!

Thanks @Todd Dexheimer I am definitely looking towards partnering with an individual from Indiana that has some experience and will be contacting as many attorney's as I can! Have you had experience in syndication?

Thank you all: @Ross Denman @Yousif Abudra and @Jillian Sidoti for your comments! 

Hey Everyone! I'm from Indiana and just started investing this year. I bought a single family home in Fort Wayne for $53,500 and get $650 a month (7% ROI w/o mortgage and 15% w/ mortgage). Not bad for a first deal to my preferences. However, I got into real estate because I want to get into large apartment complexes and I've taught myself a lot about syndications. I have the money to create one but I still feel lost and nervous to start. Should I just go talk to an attorney? Should I find someone that is experienced in syndications to form one together? I would love all advice, recommendations, and/or friends! Thanks!

Currently I am looking at a property as a potential house hack and future rental. Am I wrong to analyze the property in such a way that the rental income only covers my mortgage for the purpose of a house hack? If not, what should I be including and how should I go about analyzing it as a future rental while taking into account that I used it as a house hack? *cough why isn't there a house hack calculator @Brandon Turner cough*

Welcome Joshua! I am currently studying Marketing at your rival school (Krannert School of Business). I believe it might be considered taboo for us to work together but nonetheless I believe we could work together sometime! I currently have one rental in Fort Wayne that I recently bought and rented out. I'm from Fort Wayne but live full time in West Lafayette so not too far from you. I am actually looking for someone that can help me with maintaining my books, more so in creating an excel sheet that will make putting in income and expenses easier so I can had it off to an CPA when tax season comes around and minimize the work they need to do.

I live in Fort Wayne and Lafayette Indiana (split time). I own on SFH in Fort Wayne and in looking to partner and expand my portfolio. I would also be willing to help manage any properties for out of state investors. Just looking for experience and to expand my network! Connect with me if you want to get to know each other more!
