I also personally feel that Indianapolis has a more stable/diverse economy and more inventory for investors. 

Would like to find someone that can show me the ropes and I would be willing to invest in a property together to be able to learn by being involved in the process. 

This is tough because of all the parties it involves.

Additionally, Memphis has a strong rental market with steady demand, which is crucial for single-family and small multi-family investments.The city is also known for its diverse economy, including key sectors like transportation, healthcare, and education, which support job growth and, consequently, rental demand.

I also stated that if they harmed the home in the process of these repairs, by not using a licensed and trained professional, it would cost me extra.They responded saying they don't feel I can unilaterally request that a tenant not make these repairs, and they would not notify the tenant to cease work.As it stands, I am allowed to have a contractor who is competent look at the job, quote it, but I am not allowed to do the work with that person, until the tenant has had a shot at it.I cannot believe how basically unprofessional, and dangerous this situation is for all parties involved and want confirmation as the woman who works at this management company has no legal degree, and is constantly attempting to wave the legal flag like an expert.

Since a lot of you are wondering the difference between PML and HML, here are my thoughts about it...Private money lending and hard money lending both involve loans for real estate, but they differ in source and terms.

Some investors might also offer a flat fee, anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000, if it’s a smaller deal or if the realtor’s involvement was minimal beyond bringing the opportunity to you.You can negotiate based on how much work the realtor did (e.g., facilitating the deal, negotiations, etc.).

I have not purchased any occupied properties because the risks involved seem too high.

A thorough inspection will give you a clearer idea of the true scope of work involved.

How much involvement are you looking to have?
