Welcome to the Indy market!!

Student housing markets are best achieved in neighborhoods like Broad Ripple (Butler Univ.), 16 Tech, or even Haughville (smaller homes near IUPUI). That is, if you're staying local to Indianapolis.
I would suggest joining the Indianapolis Out of State investor groups on Facebook to get further insight into local options, opinions, including contractors, realtors and news other investors are sharing.

Let me know if you need any referrals - always happy to help!

Best of luck to you!

I'm working on a 10 year portfolio plan for buy & hold rentals (SFR or Multifamily). I can reach my goals if I can hit 9% CoC return (on average). My secondary goal is 20% forced appreciation and 5% market appreciation. Experienced folks: have you been able to achieve these numbers consistently? If so, where? How did you finance it and what types of properties?

Will be seeking to invest between 400-600k into multifamily, aiming for maximal cash on cash return. Initially thought duplexes or triplexes in B class properties in Cleveland suburbs (out of state, have family connections) but am debating if 5-20 unit commercial multifamily would be faster route to growing passive income (i know it won't be truly passive, lot of work to get it running well, management in place, etc). Appreciate any guidance from more experienced investors. My goal is to ease out of W-2 in the next 5 years if possible through out of state investing from new home base of Idaho.

Hello! Very first post here in the forums. Been listening to a lot of the podcasts. I know for sure that I want to get started investing in real estate for cash flow, but, having never done this before it's super hard for me to know if the timing is right with the market.

I have been leaning towards small multi-family properties (duplex, triplex, quad, etc.). I have a job that does take a good amount of my time so I was pushing away from going STRs, as I would rather have something going that is more passive even if the cash flow isn't quite as good... I know I can just go with more properties to increase cash flow. However, at this point I feel like I'm just too green to know what to do or how to push off into that vast unknown and get the momentum going... if it's even the right time to do it??

I have been told by a friend to look into the Memphis, TN market, and I also have a friend who invests in small multi family properties in the Murray, KY area being as it is a college town.

I feel like analysis paralysis takes over and I haven't really even begun!

Hello BP,

I am currently a new investor and have narrowed my first investment property type to be a multi family 2-4 residence.  On a separate note, I have learned that based on my finances I would be qualified to be an Accredited Investor.  Now, I would like to know if the better route for someone new would be to go the route and become an OOS RE owner of a multifamily doing my research, making contacts, etc or is it wise and financially smarter to join a syndication or invest in a company like what Brandon Turner or Greene currently are offering? 

Thank you for any advice, tips or help. 

I’ve been real estate investing for over 15years, acquiring a large nest egg of net worth. The problem is we aren’t getting much cash flow from the portfolio for a variety of reasons and our rentals, flips, and short term rentals are time and energy intensive. I’m considering selling 8 of our least desirable and profitable properties, which would result in profit of $1.4M. Would like to 1031 that into some truly passive investing that can get us at least a 10% return so we can travel abroad with our kids for a year. I am aware of and learning more about LP positions in large multifamily syndications. (Would love to do GP but still working on that). Any other options I’m missing that could meet my needs?
