Hello, looking for a referral for myself for a buyer's agent in Evansville, In. Newbie investor looking to buy in about 6 months or less. 

Do you investors still have a day job? Is it related to the industry?

I have been licensed in California for almost a year now. I currently do leasing and 1 or 2 sales a year. I LOVE it! I am learning so much from my current broker about property management/investing etc.  In a few months however, I would like to move back to the Midwest (Evansville, IN) to purchase my first rental via house hacking.  I've made this decision because of the potential in my limited budget right now. My only trouble I'm finding is obviously the job market is much greater in California. It seems they only offer part-time property management jobs in Indiana unless you have 5 years experience and fully manage. Or that's all I've been finding. I would like to continue leasing.

What are your thoughts? What do you do? Is anybody in Evansville leasing full time?? 

Ryan- Not for a few months, but I'd love to get together and connect when I'm in town.

Casey- I'd love to talk and pick your brain. I'm curious why living in your home and renting rooms out was a mistake. I would love to get a 4-plex and live in one of the units, but right now my budget is more inclined with a duplex.

Hello, I'm looking to invest in my first property within the year in Evansville, In. I attended school there and know the area fairly well. Have been researching areas and I think I'm going with Evansville. I am interested in talking with anyone you may know who got the ball rolling. I am a licensed agent in California and also work for a property management company, but still a newbie. All advice is welcome. Right now I have about 5k to put down and am saving about 1k or a little more each month. I would love to buy 2-4 units.  Will possibly be able to move in and that would help my financing options, but currently located in San Diego. so might have to bite the bullet and do 20%. Where to start first?
