@RubenAyon Sent you a DM. I'd be happy to connect! 

Hi Diana, 

My first OOS investment properties were purchased sight unseen using trusted resources in the area so it's definitely possible. I built my team through networking on places like BP forums and FB groups.

I have since moved to Indianapolis from the west coast to continue to grow my portfolio here and have expanded my business to include support for other OOS investors who need the same support I did when I was remote. As a realtor, project/property manager, STR host and general contractor, we'd be glad to help any way we can if you're interested in the Indy market!

Hi Ryan, 

Happy to help if you're still looking for some help. I'm a realtor, project manager and STR host while my husband also offers GC services. Between the two of us we can usually help investors get their first property launched!

If you're looking to invest in the Indianapolis area, I have an 8-unit property that I'm open to selling. Renovated in 2023, annual gross rents $144k + utilities. Happy to discuss if you're interested!

I agree with the notes above but will also caution you to make sure you're very conservative in your underwriting for the multi-family properties with more square footage. My experience with the smaller multi-family units has been that more occupants = more wear and tear on your property so the turnover costs are often higher than SFH. Sometimes it can take longer to place a *qualified* tenant into these properties as well so your vacancy can be a bit higher.

Hi Alyssa!

I would be glad to connect and discuss your goals to see if I could be of assistance. I began my OOS investing journey investing in Indianapolis back in 2018 while living in Eugene,Oregon and my step-son still lives in Westport, WA! I've lived the pros an cons of remote investing and would be glad to share my experiences.

I now live in Indianapolis and work exclusively with OOS investors, particularly those investors looking to acquire cash flowing small multi-family and/or short term rentals.
Since relocating here, I've enjoyed expanding our own portfolio while also offering services to OOS investors looking to invest in Indiana. I wear a few hats as a realtor, property manager, STR host and project manager so if you'd like to chat about any or all of those services, I'd be glad to schedule a call!

Hi Jared, 

I'm a former OOS investor myself who now lives in Indianapolis and works exclusively with other OOS investors looking to grow their portfolios here. Would be glad to connect and see if I can be of assistance!
