To my understanding it is still scheduled as planned. I will not be attending though due to Covid reasons. I'm really hoping they eventually offer a virtual option/ticket because of this.

The water bill is usually kept in the owners name. With the agreement in the lease that tenant is responsible for all utilities, the landlord usually forwards the water bill to the tenant. If your tenant is moving out, make sure an agreement is in place in regards to the final bill, as it will come after they've moved out.

I've lived in San Diego, CA, Chicago, IL, & Laurel, MD. I'd honestly stay where I am now, visit Chicago during summers and holidays, and retire to San Diego.

We are definitely outnumbered. But I'm an agent here in Maryland. Willing to connect with all who are interested!

Hi Chelsea! It's possible, but it also depends on your criteria. Are you looking for an investment property? Are you house hacking? Are you ok with a fixer upper?Townhouse? Single Family? Multi Family? Bedrooms and baths? Etc., etc., etc… 

The DMV area is a very popular area and the deals are there, you just have to do the work to find them. I would say start looking now even if you're not ready at the moment. This will allow you to see what's out there and give you an idea of what to expect from the market. Link up with an agent and have them set you up for alerts for houses that match your criteria. Decide how flexible you are in your criteria. What are you willing to compromise on? How much of your savings are you willing to dip into if the perfect place is a fixer upper? Is your original plan right for you, or are you seeing from your alerts that another strategy may actually be tge best for you? Also utilize the calculators that BP offers on the site to see if it's a good investment.

I hope this helped with your question.

I can't speak to Indianapolis/Indiana in general. Most of the responses have stated that the area you're looking into can be hit or miss. I think you may be able to find your answer through basic public records. One way to determine if an area is worth investing in is through the city plans. Usually the Planning and Development Dept will have public records of the plans for an area extending out 5-10 years. That information can easily be found in a Google search or the city's website. Another way is through city council meetings. Lastly, another way is to look at the areas that have already had improvements made to them. They usually follow a pattern. You may be able to tell from there if the area you are looking to will fall into the improvement zone.
