Do you mind what neighborhood in the East Side of Indy you invested in?

@David LewisOK - so - if you're just doing Internet searches and are already ready to give up... you should put some more work in first. 

I'm advising folks to keep a close eye on Clay, Cicero, North Syracuse, the neighborhoods including and surrounding Eastwood, and the neighborhoods by the university.

Quote from @Carsyn Childress: I have searched Facebook groups, Craigslist, and meet-ups with little to no luck with consistent volume.

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

My client recently purchased a 3/2 single family house for $160k that was near turnkey and already rented at $1900/month and in a very desirable residential neighborhood!

Which neighborhoods should I not touch and which ones are ripe for the picking?

Go to local meetups, search these forums for people that have mentioned that they do private lending and attend other RE events.

Always introduce yourself as ..John or maybe Reagan is better....Maybe like hi I'm Reagan like the President, your friendly neighborhood realtor....that's how they will remember you and you want them to remember you. 

We would love to connect with investors, as well as investor-friendly realtors and property managers in the northern Alabama region.Any insights into the local market or recommendations for neighborhoods to explore further would be greatly appreciated.
