Hi Michelle,

It’s great to connect with you! I’m also focused on multi-family investments, primarily new construction duplexes in Indianapolis. I completely understand the challenges of high property prices in places like L.A. and San Diego.

When it comes to out-of-state investing, I’d suggest starting with markets that offer solid rental demand and reasonable property prices. Indianapolis, for example, has been a strong market for cash flow and appreciation, with a lot of investor activity.

If you’re interested in learning more about how I navigate out-of-state investments and the processes I use to ensure everything runs smoothly, I’d be happy to chat more. I think we could exchange some valuable insights!

Looking forward to hearing more about your journey!

Hey Kerry,

Welcome to the world of real estate investing! It sounds like you're on the right track by diving into learning as much as you can. The BRRRR strategy and tax lien investing are both great approaches, especially when you're getting started and want to maximize your investments.

Hi Lacey,

Welcome to the world of real estate investing! It's fantastic that you and Asa are looking to get started together. Since you're already a real estate agent, you have a great foundation to build on, especially with your market knowledge in Roseburg, Oregon.

Here are a few tips to help you get started:

1. Leverage Your Local Expertise: As a local agent, you're already familiar with the Roseburg market. Use this to your advantage by identifying potential investment properties, such as undervalued homes or areas with strong rental demand.
2. Start with a Clear Strategy: Whether you're interested in flipping properties, buy-and-hold, or rental properties, having a clear strategy will help guide your decisions and keep you focused. Given Asa's lawn care business, you might even consider properties with large yards that could benefit from his expertise.
3. Network with Local Investors: Connecting with other investors in the Roseburg area can be incredibly valuable. Consider attending local real estate meetups or joining online forums where local investors share insights and opportunities.
4. Educate Yourself Continuously: The real estate market is constantly changing, so staying informed is key. Keep reading, listening to podcasts, and learning from others' experiences to refine your strategies.
5. Consider Your Financing Options: Explore different financing options, such as conventional loans, hard money loans, or even partnering with other investors, to find what works best for your situation.

I'd love to connect and share more insights as you embark on this journey. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further advice. Looking forward to hearing about your progress!

Best, Ryan Cheek

Hello Kristen,

I am an investor friendly agent in the Indianapolis area. First congrats on getting started and best of luck to you. Indianapolis is a great market to get started in with affordable pricing. Most of my work comes with selling 3/2 new build duplexes; however working with a developer comes with looking at tons of lots of land. I come across 50ish a week that we never use. If you have any interest in wholesaling those I would love to connect. 

Best of luck to you,

Ryan Cheek
