Better than each of those options is to be realistic, what most of us aim to do, but easier said than done. 

You have actual rights in comparison to CA and the process is much easier.

Some had other events in other states designed to elicit high emotions and fun, solidifying what was basic information as something secretive, which it really wasn't, it was just more enjoyable and easier to learn in the 'fun zone'.

I'm not in that market but I would recommend finding off-market deals, targeting distressed properties, or focusing on smaller multifamily units in less competitive neighborhoods.

@Alex CollinsAs mentioned by Jonathan Greene.If you're transitioning from nursing to full-time real estate investing, focus on house-hacking in high-demand areas like downtown Indianapolis, Carmel, or Greenwood, targeting short-term or mid-term rentals.

After you get 5 or 6 properties, the cashflow adds up and makes it easier to deal with the unknowns that will happen.  

Which is easier to deal with than a non paying tenant.Once they're gone, you'll need to tighten up your screening process or find a PM to take over.

Inherited tenants are usually a negative, however in that area leaving the duplex totally vacant makes it a target for thieves to come in and steal your pipes, furnace, and hot water tanks.

I bought 14 homes in a short period of time for gozone tax bene's those are the same as the benes that people search out for cost seg these days.. except they were much easier you did not need a cost seg report..

If you consistently analyze properties, recognizing a good deal will be much easier when it shows up.
