I have a good friend who has some great data on all the different neighborhoods - I am happy to share that with you.Also, if you don't have a lender already, I have some rockstars that I know like and trust.What sport do you play?

@Lynkeisha Dixon I’ll play devils advocate.

With experience spanning nearly every aspect of real estate—except direct title work—I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with many talented vendors in the Indianapolis area.Today, I’m on the vendor side at Trojan Roofing Company, where I continue to serve the local community.

While I continue nurturing those realtor relationships (and patiently waiting for my phone to ring), I'm curious to explore other avenues for sourcing off-market deals.

From my experience, success in real estate investing starts with clearly defining your goals and continuously educating yourself through podcasts, books, forums, and courses.

Should I continue mediation or pursue legal action (considering the time and costs involved)?

What I am looking to do is refinance, or pull out equity so I can get back on track with my lender and continue searching for a buyer. 

@Derek BuehnerThe timing of your improvements plays a big role in determining their tax deductibility.

As the Guardian Fund LLC bankruptcy continues, we have been getting several calls regarding properties that owners are just now figuring out are titled in their trusts.

A couple other neighborhoods I like besides the two you mentioned are Washington Park, Hyde Park, Woodlawn, and South Shore.I think that area will continue to be gentrified because you have the lakefront as well as CTA trains.Is there any reason you are targeting Chicago instead ofdoubling down in Kansas City?
