My question to you, being your first rental, why are you set on a duplex? I generally advise against them here in Indy, outside of a few higher priced/higher demand locations. You'll find the tenant pool to be quite challenging.

I'd be happy to share some stories with you!

 The main reason I'm focusing on multi family housing is because there tends to be more leeway for vacancy and I also need to house hack this first property as I am currently still living at home with the family. I have worked to save for this first property, and after recently finishing the book, "Investing in Duplexes, Triplexes and Quads" by Larry Loftis I decided that would be a good initial investment. However, that isn't to say if I found a lucrative single family home that I wouldn't put in an offer, but I've tended to focus more on multi families. I will go ahead and send you a request to connect and would be happy to talk with you in greater detail and take into account any wisdom you are willing to offer.

Good Afternoon,

I am a new investor here in Indianapolis looking at buying my first multi family property. I recently saw a house on Carrollton Ave, which is in between 10th and 38th and college, which appears to be an area that is being revitalized. What do you guys think of this area, and what would you suggest for someone new in the Indianapolis Market? Furthermore, if anyone has any suggestions on good Buy-Brokers, or general advice relating to the Indianapolis market, please let me know. Thanks for any and all responses!

Yeah, if you could give us some more information, I know any of us would be happy to go take a look and provide you with pictures for updates. Also, as Edward stated, please let us know what company this is you were working with.
