Tennessee’s no-state income tax policy can be a nice perk for long-term wealth building.Indianapolis Pros: Having real estate connections in Indy could give you a competitive advantage on deals, local market insights, and trusted contractors, which can be invaluable for a BRRRR strategy.Ultimately, your “competitive advantage” might be stronger where you already have boots on the ground. 

Connecting with local investors, lenders, and contractors will give you valuable insights, support and advice as you move forward, and platforms like this are perfect for bridging the gap when in-person meet-ups aren’t feasible.

My contractor has one credit card for all of my individually owned buildings (jointly not multiple cards) and one credit card for the building I own in a partnership.

Think lenders, insurance carriers, property management, contractors, etc.

I've also been focused mainly on Pgh because I have family there who are contractors and can to do any repairs/refurbishments.  

You'll have to decide if this is a big enough issue to justify finding a new PM.As an aside, you may find a contractor that can do work cheaper, but will they be as responsive?
