Post: Recommended Insurance Company in Indy

Hi Adelaide Ning! I would first get a quote from your current home/car insurance and see what they would charge you on a bundle package. It should be cheaper than going to a new insurance company. I have a property in Indy and in different states. I just prefer to have them all rolled up in one as it easier to maintain.

Hi Manuel Jurado! I think it depends on how comfortable you want your tenants to be, but me personally I wouldn't add it. Just because the tenants will have to maintain it on a monthly basis or whenever the pellets are low and we all know how that goes. If you looking on ROI when selling, I believe it can be a big plus. But here in Texas, Water Softeners can go for 4-8K and I won't want that extra expense, plus the yearly maintenance on it.

Hi Devvrat Kumar! If your looking for distressed properties in which you can add value I would start going to your local REIs and start networking. Ask who may have some deals lined up or you can start driving for dollars. Contact the homeowner via postcard or door knocking. The point is to talk to as many individuals as you can, its a numbers game. Go on FB groups, or even call those numbers from the bandit signs. Wholesalers or sellers will advertise, it just depends if the numbers make sense to you. I would go as far as posting on your social member and ask..  Remember, your network is your network.  Hope it helps!

Post: Which STR company has worked for you?

Hi Breanna Richardson! Not to say anything bad about the following STR companies, but I would go with a smaller one in which they can definitely take care of your home better and won't be overlooked. I can recommend two companies that I know of in the SA market. Your Home Away Management and Five Star Vacation Home. Both are investors and STR operators.

Hope it helps!

Hi Sarah Sass! I'm not in the TN market, but if you have a friend who is a realtor. They can pull comps of sold homes in your area that are similar to yours. I would get 3-4 listings from Jan 2024 until now. It's basically the same thing as what these other company's charge. I've done it in the past and had other friends who've help me out with my properties in different locations. Hope the info helps.

Hi Jose Ramos! Happy to hear your looking to invest in real estate. That's great you're plugged in the BP community, but I would also look in your local market. Meet.com is a great source to check out and I'm sure they're several RE events going on. Also, check out your local REIs. 

Don't be intimidated by other investors or if they're doing better things. Remember, they were once in your shoes too. Go to these events with an open mind and absorb as much as you can. It's about networking and learning from one another. If you have any further questions, I'd be happy to assist.

Hi Shayla Nash! There's not one preferred way over the other, but I would test it out. Post on multiple sites and see which one get's the most interaction. It's a numbers game. Use a template so that you don't have to recreate the wheel. I would post on your FB, FB groups, your local REI meets up, and mastermind groups your in and craigslist. I would also recommend building relationships with investors and RE Agents. Remember, your network is your networth! Hope it helps!

Hey Derek Morrison! Me personally, I would save up a little bit more to at least 30K. There's deals out there, but you just have to find them. In the meantime, get yourself in a mastermind group/community bc your network is your networth. Talk to people in your RE meetups or local community bc its those individuals who may have a deal that could be ideal to your buy box. And if doesn't work because of funding, maybe there's a friend or partner who may be interested in a partnership. I rather have little skin in the game, then nothing at all. Overall, your community is key in finding deals. 

Hope it helps!
