Our partner Carol Tarnowski brought this opportunity to us through her local connections.

My name is Chad, I am a renovation construction PM professionally, currently starting a search to find/ invest in some Indianapolis and local area fix and flip projects.

Attend the local and regional Real Estate meetups.

@Anibal SanchezHave you looked into attending local meetings and joining Facebook groups?

I am leery because it is such a small deal…just 1 small 1 bedroom unit…and not a great a deal unless maybe you are local and have a use for it…walk to community college.  

.: @Jacob Brenyo I do have a local realtor working with me right now.

The unique format of this event, which consists of high-level education, gamified networking, mastermind breakout sessions, case studies, group deal analysis, market deep dives, and peer-to-peer coaching facilitation makes this the most impactful local real estate investor group a real estate investor can be a part of.The foundation of the group is built around the belief that everyone in the room has the potential to change the world… however most of us never have the time, energy or financial situation to even dare to dream big enough.

Mine was also out of state, in a town I’d never visited, and I relied heavily on videos from my agent.This sounds like a tough first deal, but it seems like you have some capital on the side, which will be useful as you face the upcoming challenges and learn from those expensive early mistakes.Regarding the subject of this post, “help me adjust my expectations,” I’d recommend assuming that; repairs will cost twice as much as you estimate, maintenance and vacancy rates will likely double from your initial projections, there’s a very real chance you may lose money on this deal.That said, there are ways to mitigate these risks by:- Keep asking questions here on BP and connecting with local experts- Stay proactive and communicative with your agent and property manager.And remember “Inspect what you expect.”Im not trying to discourage you but to help reset your expectations.

Looking to make new connections here.Are you looking for local community banking for lending and real estate related purposes or for personal checking and savings accounts?

With those numbers, have you checked with a local bank or credit union?
