You should definitely add Indianapolis, IN to your list of choices

It's not only possible but also recommended because of liability

This is an extremely frustrating situation indeed. Sorry you're going through it. 

Being an out-of-state investor is challenging already, that's why I always recommend having trustworthy boots on the ground people. Someone who has some skin in the game in your success

These are great questions, we help newbies overcome analysis paralysis by letting them examine one deal at a time with all the data they need to make a pass or pull the trigger. The only way to learn to swim sometimes is to just jump on the water

"and have heard people saying they got their first 7 properties in 11 month"

Keep in mind people say a lot of things for clout. I'm not saying they haven't achieved what they say the have, I would just take it with a grain of salt

Throw "move in" help. It could only cost you $300, yet really incentivize someone to move in

search the sales records and skip trace anyone whose purchased > 4 properties in the last year

Nov - March was the best time to buy properties in Indianapolis in 2023. Aging inventory gives people more leverage when negotiating

This is more of a reflecting post thinking about what are the data points that fix and flippers look for to pass or pursue a deal.

I wanted to provide clear, concise data to help our users make swift investment decisions in real estate. The challenge? In a market with hundreds of variables, new investors often find themselves in a black hole of information.

If you're one of the early users who reached out to me, you recall we used to show several properties on a page. Users toggled between options, rarely reaching a definitive 'Yes' or 'No'. To tackle this, I drew inspiration from an unlikely source: Tinder. For those unfamiliar, Tinder simplifies dating choices by showing one profile at a time - swipe right to connect, left to pass, and never see their profile again.

We applied this 'swipe' functionality to real estate investment properties. And the impact? Decision-making became faster, more intuitive.

I am curious, what are those 5 crucial data points you look at a flip deal before deciding to pursue it or pass it?
