 Hey Kerry-- 
Warsaw is a pretty unique market.  Solid economy, growing population, rising rents.  
Yes homes are more expensive here than Ft.W but you get better rents.  

 Looking forward to chatting!

Terry, I just sent you a request to connect. I'm local to Warsaw and can be a resource. 

Adrian,

I'm a broker in the next market place over to the West but have a number of colleagues who serve the Ft. Wayne market and know it well. If you're still needing a recommendation or 2nd opinion shoot me a private message. 

As others have said start networking within the investors group AND find a really good agent who can provide off market deals to you.  
I'm a broker over in Warsaw but if you need a good connection in Fort Wayne let me know. 

Hang in there and the RIGHT deal will come along.   Have all of your ducks in a row and be ready to act quickly.  You can't just window show on the various websites but need to work directly with a great agent too.  

Feel free to PM me if you have questions.  I'm always glad to be a resource. 

Trent, I serve the area just West of Ft. Wayne and am based out of Warsaw.  I invest and also am a broker. We've been able to assist a number of other BP colleagues.  Feel free to send me a message and we can chat.   Take care!

Grant, I'll send you a message. 

Ben, welcome to the area! It's a great community.    I'm a local real estate broker and have local and regional investment properties including some near Grace's campus.  

Let me know when you're in town and let's connect.   We've helped a  number of other Bigger Pockets investors and have developed some good relationships.  

Kudos for the learning!

Hey Nick,  As an investor and broker over in Warsaw I'd say you're doing the right things.  Reach out, start conversations, find someone who is willing to mentor you or at least let you ask lots of questions.  Invites lots of people out for coffee/lunch and ask lots of questions.   There are at least two local Ft. Wayne meet ups and we have two groups here in Warsaw that meet monthly.   

If I can be a resource don't hesitate to reach out. 

Nick, IMO it's always about long term goals.  What does this situation present for you that will help you with our long term goal and how can you use it as a stepping stone to get you there.  If you're concerned about management while you work/travel/family then I'd recommend you consider a good property manager!  
It was good to meet you this week.  Look forward to connecting again and I'd be glad to go more in-depth on your current situation.
