Quote from @Juan V Lopez:
Henry, this is great. I recently helped my sister and brother in law purchase a short-term rental property and renovate it (he does tile, painting, cabinets, a little bit of electrical, etc just like you).
What I would recommend to you is to connect with investor-friendly agents in the Indianapolis area. If there are local Facebook groups for investor agents, join the groups and ask there. You can also go into the Network here in BiggerPockets and look for investor agents in that area.
Tell them what you are looking for (for example: Single family home, max purchase price $200,000, needs work). Then they can send you properties that fit your criteria. They are also able to tell you what the ARVs are (comparable sales).
Since you do the renovations yourself, you have an advantage over many investors because you can keep renovation costs down and do estimates yourself. Once you get to a home and do a walk-through, you can see if the deal would work for you and make you money once you sold it (based on the ARV).
I hope this helps. Feel free to ask questions here or DM if you need help. Wish you the best, brother.
Very helpful insights. Thank you very much. Ill be sure to DM you. This is a great network for investors.
