@Mikhael Brown Congratulations man! Any update so far?

 Hey @Brandon Kowalski, I would consider Northwest Indiana. The rents may be lower than Chicago but the units are far more affordable. Expenses are significantly lower and IN is far more investor friendly. I would also advise you to be open to managing at least your first door by yourself. This will help you understand the process. If you are interested in Northwest Indiana I would love to connect with you.

Hey! I am an agent/investor in NWI. Specifically Lake County. I’ll send you a connection request

Hey @Sam Dorgalli, I think being investor focused is a great business plan. In my opinion being an active investor helps a ton. If you are not actively investing, you are not SOL. Just double down on education and networking (Property managers, contractors, and investors). Maybe hold an REI meet up!

Aside from that, what value add can you bring? Are you more prompt to respond than other agents? Can you put out stats on your local market more frequently? Can you be the knowledge broker in your market? Also Im not sure how affordable your market is for new investors so can you connect local investors with out of state agents?  (Ive gotten a few referral checks this quarter by sending some of my clients out of state and I love em). I hope this helps man! Let's connect on social media.

Welcome @Josh Zeb! Feel free to sent questions my way, Id love to help any way I can!

Hey @John Becker, 

I am an agent/investor in NWI. I can connect you with my recommended property manager in NWI to manage the properties you'd like to hold. 
I would love to interview to list the homes you'd like to sell as well, if you're open to it. 
I will send you a connection request.

Hey @William Luke Laity, I do not have a wholesale contract but I do want to invite you to a real estate investor meet up in Griffith at Avenue 912 on 11/15 from 6-8!

I know for a fact there will be plenty of wholesalers there to network with.

@Nadeem Najam as an agent in IN, id tell you the MLS would help but Zillow is your best bet as far as placing a tenant.
How are the photos? Folks wont apply if they cannot envision themselves living in the space. If you have pictures taken on your cell phone that do not show the home well, it may be worth it to get professional photos done (A few hundred bucks) before discounting the monthly rent. If you drop the rent $50 that is -$600. Spend $200 on photos and save the $400.
Beyond that, do you have clear next steps in the listing description? For example, minimal requirements, instructions on how to apply, date when the unit is available, etc?
I hope this helps!

 Thank you!

No worries! I would check out Pace Morby's content if you havent already.
