@Jalen De Leon I find it is always wise to seek out local lenders who truly understand the specific market you're interested in. These types of lenders will have a better idea of what is and is not a good deal. If you need recommendations for reputable local lenders in the Indy area, feel free to DM me. 

@David Ning As someone who has been working the Indianapolis market and surrounding areas for the past 14 of my 20 years. I have seen the good and the bad, I have watched some of the biggest names here in Indy get started and have helped most of them in some form or fashion. 

Do not get sucked into these people commenting or messaging you about "How great the Indy market is and how they can help you." Most of them wouldn't know what an investment property is if it fell on top of them. It is important to have the right but knowledgeable/experienced team in place. 

I recommend Off Leash Construction and @Nick Giulioni team. Nick moved here from California and has built a successful Real Estate business. He knows exactly what it is like to invest from out of state.  

If you would like to talk further feel free to DM me. I will be more than happy to provide you with other names or contacts. The Indy RE market is a market or investors, lenders, agents, etc and we all either know each other or we know of one another. 

Disclosure - Off Leash Construction is one of my clients. 

 If you are looking for people hear in the Indy market reach out to @Nick Giulioni. He began his OOS investing from California before moving here. Also reach out Gloria Gear. She is a Realtor who works with both in state and out of state investors and she is an investor herself. 

If you need a 3rd party unbiased opinion about a property or neighborhood feel free to DM me. I have been in this market a long time and I know all the players, good and bad.

@Geoff Nielson I am here in Indy and I do 3rd party consulting. I've been doing this for 20 years. I do not list properties or act as an agent. I have no interests in it. If you would like to just chat about what you have maybe I can give you some unbiased opinions on what to do. DM if you would like. 

@Tommy Restivo Why Indy? Why go out of state when Florida is a lucrative market to learn RE investing? 

@Michael Sykora My business partners and I are local investors in Indy. We have been buying, managing, and flipping Little Flower, Bosart Brown, Emerson Hieghts, Christian Park. Irvington, Etc for over 13 years. I am in these neighborhoods and surrounding communities daily. I would be more than happy to help you evaluate your deal. DM me if you still need help. 

Try Circle City Roofing. Ask for Bill Wright. He is has been doing investing for about 20 years here in Indy. The other companies you mentioned are all corporate owned. They are going to over charge you. 

If you have to use one of them I suggest any of them except Bone Dry. They are rude, disrespectful, and there crews are lazy. That just my opinion.

Where in 46201? Not all of it is up and coming. A lot of people lately have been over exaggerating this zip code.
