Hey Andrew,

There are multiple investor meetups that are held around town. Some are posted to the Real Estate Events & Meetups under Real Estate Classifieds on BiggerPockets, Eventbrite, and the numerous investor Facebook pages. 

CIREA, as @Sunny Chen mentioned, is a great resource. 

I also hold monthly investor meetups (generally the second Tuesday of the month) downtown. Details are posted on BiggerPockets and Eventbrite. Feel free to reach out with any questions. 

Thank you very much for the info! Will let you know!

I would say it depends! Many investors have full time W2 jobs, myself included. It all depends on what "too thin" looks like for you personally. But I would also say this could be a great way for you to get more exposure to other investors and properties in your area and by building strong relationships, you may be able to find a cost savings competitive advantage. 

I work three days a week as an MRI technologist currently with 4 days off, so my thought is that I could definitely stand to pick up extra in hopes to make those connections! Thank you for the input

Hi everyone,

Alongside being new real estate investor in Indiana, and planning to utilize a buy-and-hold rental property strategy. I'm also a skilled handyman and was considering offering my services to other investors as a separate business venture.

My question is:

  • Is combining buy-and-hold rentals with handyman services for other investors a wise approach, or will it spread myself too thin?
  • Would other real estate investors in central Indiana be interested in a reliable handyman service specifically catering to rental properties?

I'm eager to learn from experienced investors and determine if this multi-faceted approach is feasible or if it's best to focus on one area initially.

Thank you for your insights!

Hello everyone,

I'm a beginning real estate investor looking to enter the Indiana market with a buy-and-hold rental property strategy. Alongside acquiring rentals, I'm interested in establishing a service-based business within the real estate niche, potentially offering maintenance or renovation services.

To make the most informed decision, I'd appreciate any insights from experienced Indiana investors on:

Top Indiana Cities for Long-Term Rentals: What cities offer a strong rental market with factors like stable vacancy rates, positive cash flow potential, and opportunities for property appreciation?

Locations for Business Growth: Are there specific Indiana cities with a growing real estate market that would be favorable for establishing a service-based business catering to landlords and tenants?

Any advice on these considerations or additional factors I should be aware of would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and expertise!

Hello fellow real estate investors!

I'm in the process of researching the Lafayette, Indiana market for potential rental property investments. As I'm considering various strategies, I'm also interested in exploring property management options.

Could anyone recommend reputable and well-regarded property management companies in the Lafayette area? My priorities are finding a company with a strong track record in:

-Tenant screening and placement

-Rent collection and financial reporting

-Maintenance coordination and responsiveness

-Competitive management fees

Any insights or recommendations from experienced Lafayette investors would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help.
