I am looking to buy my first investment property and have seen strong fundamentals in Indianapolis (job growth, population and median wage).As an out of state investor, I am looking to connect with investors/agents in the area to build further knowledge on specifics with the markets and hopefully bring business to in the future!

Really wish we would have learned how to better utilize buying real estate and finance and how life changing it can be.

With 34 years of real estate investing experience, I’ve been involved in everything from owning rental properties to flipping.

One key item where I think real estate scales (might also increase risk) is to have them in the same area.

I am local in Connecticut and work with a lot of real estate investors in the state.

Or, when the buyer sues everyone for undisclosed defects they have to pay the listing agent's attorneys fees, etc. 

Real estate is easy to get into, but hard to earn a living. 87% of all agents quit within two years because they don't make enough money.

I also continue to invest in various securities and real estate funds.

Are you new to real estate investing or just to the forums?

Those were really good (Southeastern Wisconsin Real Estate Investor Group on FB if so inclined).
