After 8 years or so, you've got three or four properties and the world opens up to you at that point. 

I think Indy is a great diversity of communities and properties, so anything you would like should be here. 

We've been buying properties in the southern US and have had pretty good success.

On properties that stay pretty booked up too. 

I've got properties in (2) towns currently that are around 10k people in each town.

You could do things like outdoor speakers, waterfalls, etc.Visually, unless you are in an HOA or other restrictions, maybe you can hedge the backyard for added privacy.The goal for most people is to keep the property, not sell.

The property isn’t worth what he paid for it. 

Purchase price: $130,000 Cash invested: $9,000 Sale price: $185,000 I did not have the knowledge then to keep the property and pull money out to complete renovations to another property we purchased a year after this one that required a complete overhaul.

Next, we manually evaluate each property.

See properties sitting on the market for a long time, every market is different, my market anything over 30 days is a long time.
