Hey, I'm at yokota. Shoot me a PM. I think we've met before, I'm at the contracting office. [email protected]. (Army CPT)

I know a guy who bought his first fixer at age 15! He spent a year fixing it up and doing all of the work himself. I think about $10K for the property, which he got from his mom, who also co-signed for him. He kept the house as a rental for many years. His education by doing it himself was "priceless"! I like the idea of getting a job with a plumber or electrician. You would learn a lot that would save you a lot in the future. Maybe even with a contractor or construction company. You might be able to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity. Don't know if there are age restrictions. Also, lowes and home depot offer how to classes. At your age, go for, you don't have anything to lose. I wish my teenagers were as motivated! Good luck!

If the seller is open to creative financing, then try for seller financing; lease option/rent to own...until you can secure other financing!

thanks Dale, I appreciate your incite!

Hello,

I'm interested in an 11 bed I found in the heart of Indianapolis.  Can someone shed some light on the good and bad areas, near the corners of N Bolton and Devington.

Thanks in a advance.
