My plan would be to keep the front waiting room as a small commercial space and the back offices as efficiency units or studios. 

Meaning that if you fund a $5K EMD and then decide not to close you lose the EMD, or you pay for an inspection up front and risk missing out on the deal while you're waiting for the report.

And, the longer you wait to act, the longer the squatter stays - and even gains some legal protections to stay while your waiting on a slow court system to act on an eviction. 

But my realtor said they are going to do special assessment on this property and HOA runs badly. ( We requested HOA reserve document but no answers. ) We wanted to wait to see how special assessment going and close. 

Glad to be here and cant wait to network and learn!

I usually advise folks moving to a new area to rent for awhile to get the lay of the land.

It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of a potential deal, but skipping this step can lead to costly mistakes.Getting your real estate license is also a solid strategy just realize once you have a license wholesaling may not be in the cards as its a very gray area.Lastly, since you're planning to buy properties for yourself in 2026, start laying the groundwork now.

If not, the client gets charged to go get the right parts while we sit and wait for them :-)

I was referred to the actual developer, Rebar Development, by City of Fishers and am waiting to hear back from their Corporate Counsel.

I find this screens out any guests that could have issues and lays the groundwork for a great stay.It also weeds out folks (in our case) that aren't understanding the distance to town and certain activities in our area.
