Welcome to the site @Desiree Ovelton 

You'll learn a lot here by posting in the forums, reading the articles, and listening to the podcasts.

@Mark Yu looking forward to hear about your successes after you overcome your analysis paralysis.  If you have any specific questions about the Indianapolis feel free to PM me. Welcome to the forums.  There is a wealth of knowledge here!

And vacant houses are targeted via Driving for Dollars. 

@Account Closed only you can decide what you have to offer in return for their time.

One example would be, to give your cash buyer first look and the first right of refusal on buying the house from you in exchange for him helping you estimate repairs. Just a thought.  You have to decide what makes most sense for you in your situation.  

Maybe you pay a GC for an estimate? Again, this may or may not make sense based on your current financial situation. 

@Account Closed estimating repairs is the most challenging aspect of the business.  Network with other investors in your area, and offer them something in return for helping you estimate repairs. 

@Account Closed hosts a great BP meetup usually monthly.

First and foremost, congratulations on pulling the trigger and taking action.  Most people never have the courage to get started investing. Yes, you could have done much better by utilizing the strategies others in this forum have recommended. However, there is still a ton of value gained by applying what you learned from this purchase.

Are you limiting yourself to purchasing in Johnson county?  There are huge returns to be had all over Indianapolis, even inside the loop.  

@Account Closed specifically, what type of help are you looking for Tyler?  There is a wealth of information here in the forums and in the BP blog in relation to wholesaling.  Also, make sure you check out the podcast episodes to learn more about wholesaling. 

@Taylor Jennings and @Ryan Mullin usually host a monthly meetup in Indianapolis.  Not sure when the next one will be, but I'm sure they will let us know soon!

@Shawn Holsapple been a while since I've been in the forums.  Busy finding deals.

Say you are buying the house on a Lease Option and then assigning that LO to a tenant buyer are you still putting the property in a land trust and having the trustee assign their interest to you or is this not necessary when assigning a LO to a tenant buyer?
