What's easier to find renters for? a 4br or 3 Br or 2Br? 

Some people say 3 Bd/2Ba is the ideal combination. 

Others say you get more cashflow with a 4 bd/2,5 but you run the risk of higher vacancy because most of the time a 4 bd is when people are looking to buy instead of rent. 

Still others say if you can buy a two bedroom for a lower price that has a "bonus room" or "office" that you can convert into a bedroom by adding a closet then that's even better because of forced appreciation.....then rent that out as a 3 bedroom 2 bath.  

What's been your experience?

By the way i live in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Where is the one in Napa going to be at?

Does anybody know of any Turnkey Companies based in the Indianapolis Area that anyone on BP has worked well with?

@James Grueser  whereabouts in Ohio do you have roots? I was born in Columbus and still have family there. Right now I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and am looking to get started investing in Indianapolis,

Thanks Daniel, Thanks Jamaal! No relatives in Indy but I have some in Ohio and N.Carolina............thanks for the advice everyone

Thanks Kathy!

Greetings BP Forum. I was at a BP networking event here in the Bay Area last week and the subject was investing out of state while living in the San Francisco Bay Area. The area of focus was on Texas, but there were a couple of people there that seemed to think that Indianapolis was a great area to look at.

I've been told Cap Rates of around 13% to 14% can be found there, especially around the Fountain Square Area.

Thoughts?

Just joined BP so I missed the Meetup that was in SF on 4/7   Any idea when the next one will be?
