Hi Everyone,

With Indy on lockdown, a lot of businesses are implementing a stay at home initiative, unless it's for essential business much like the rest of the country. I'm looking to do a BRRRR in Indianapolis but I'm wondering if I should hold off until the lockdown has been uplifted?

Reason I ask is the GC I currently use is no longer taking any new projects due to the COVID19 situation. Have you been seeing the same, are contractors still taking new work generally or are they not considered essential?

If so, I'd love some recommendations! Appreciate the help!

Thanks!

 Half of my contractors are shutting down - the other half seem to be working. Case by case.

We are beginning our journey to financial freedom and generational wealth. Our goal this year is to purchase our first multi family unit (or two). We're eager to learn and network with other investors and like minded people in Indianapolis or surrounding cities. We're new to this game but the first step was getting our piece on the board and a place in this real estate investment world. We're looking forward to this year's conference in New Orleans (fingers crossed). Profile pic to come.

It would be preferred if they also can facilitate the initial application and lease completion as well.

LOVE my realtor Cindy Bulat! She can handle all that stuff.

Currently sitting around $5k cash and growing. Fortunately, I graduated early and quickly and my student loans are not more than around $115 a month. My school now is around $900/month which I am paying out of pocket but when I start grad school my company has mentioned paying for it. I have moved back home for the present time and my parents are ok with me staying. I don't have to pay rent so I get to bank a lot of my money. I would like to get into rentals, but I am unsure if there are any I can afford at the present time. I am building my credit now with school and I just got a credit card to help build. (I have no negative marks on my credit just young around 700).

 That's great - sounds like wholesaling/hustling is the way to go until you can buy something to hold onto!

Hit me up in PM if you ever want to chat.

Hey all,

I am hoping to become a new investor soon and am looking for advice! I currently am making around 3K a month at my internship/fulltime position (Recent college Grad). 

I currently have no experience in real estate and am currently researching and educating myself, saving for down payments, and also building my credit.

I have experience in construction management and architecture and a flip doesn't scare me even though I am sure it probably should. I live in Southern Indiana just so you may have an idea of what my market may look like. 

Questions:

1. What is a reasonable timeline for me to reach my 3k goal? 

2. Should I start an LLC before I purchase my first property or do everything personally?

3. Flipping, wholesaling, or rentals to start?

4. Do I need a real estate license? (Getting mixed opinions from all my research and bigger pockets podcast guests)

5. What do you think would be the best way for me to move forward with real-estate to try to match that 3k a month and then continue to grow afterward?

Open to all advice and opinions!!!


 Walk before you run. 

1) I think you could get there in 2-3 years with hard work and sacrifice. 

2) Nah - don't get in your own way. Do that once you have assets.

3) Wholesaling is virtually free. Flipping gives you chunks of cash but require financing. Rentals give you streams but require equity. What do you have?

4) Nope

5) BRRRR to build equity.

Hi everyone, I'm Ori from Israel, new to REI, this is my first BP post :)

After analyzing most US metros I chose Indianapolis. I'm looking to buy rentals worth $110K ARV, with $900+ rent, focusing first on cash flow, wanting to start with a handful of stable B/C neighborhoods, make some deals, and then later expand.

I talked to some agents who suggested some up and coming neighborhoods: Bates Hendricks, Irvington, Little Flower, Garfield Park, even Haughville. But analyzing some of them (via trulia, neighborhoodscout) I saw high crime, poorly rated schools & low income. I also keep hearing that Indy varies a lot from block to block. Doesn't feel stable.

At this point I could use some advice from more experienced investors:

* Are some of the neighborhoods I mentioned too risky for beginners/OOS, either for management reasons (high crime / low income) or due to too big a difference from street to street?

* Are there more stable B/C neighborhoods that fit my criteria?

* What are the dis/advantages of ditching downtown and going outside the ring, for example to Hendricks County (besides having to start my analysis from scratch)? 

      I would remove Haughville and Bates Hendricks from your list.

      Haughville= war zone

      Bates Hendricks= prices are too high... it's a flip market

      Completely agree

      Hi everyone!

      I just got my offer accepted on my first rental property! With all that is happening right now, I'm looking at reducing my down payment, so I need to go over my numbers again. I have estimated being able to get at least $1,750 per month on a fully redone 4 bed 2 bath home by East 70th Street and Keystone in Indianapolis. Some new rentals have popped up around it that are less than that, but are not redone and not as many rooms/baths. Would some of you be willing to look at that area and tell me if $1,750 is a bad estimate and why?

      Thank you!

      Totally agree with Ric - $1750 isn't going to happen there. You should estimate your numbers in the $1300 range - and can likely pull higher than that (maybe $1500).  $1750 is crazy high for Indianapolis in general.
