There are approximately 28 Multi-family duplexes active on the MLS ranging in prices as low as $50,000-$219,000 with a median rent of about $929.

I know I need to get a credit card and keep my utilization ratio low, but I wouldn't know much about the process of actually receiving a conventional loan from a bank or any type of loan.

So assuming your son has low debt, then he should be able to qualify for a house in the low $300K range. 

Here are a few things that I like about the neighborhoods in Indy compared to other states: high rent-to-home-value ratio, consistent and gradual city development, relatively low property tax and insurance cost, affordable renovation service cost.
