This is typically the slowest time of year for tenant placement, at least in our local market.

Not sure what your local law requires, you'll want to check on that.

3) Is this a trend localized to Indianapolis, or is it indicative of a broader national issue?

I live overseas and don't have ready access to a local market to research, understand, and invest on my own.

However, most of my tenants are locals who have lived here their whole lives.

If i lived in San Jose, the first RE investment that i would consider is a local property with an ADU that had distribution on the lot that would allow a profitable lot split.   

To find someone, I’d start by reaching out to local rehab centers or recovery organizations as they often know operators who are looking for housing.

But please for the love of all that is good, plan your exit strategy with their property management, because that has been a giant dud for me and do not see it getting any better should they continue the hands-off, digital approach to placing & managing tenants.

Just looking for a local to chime in.Thanks!
