Hello, I am looking into brrrr method and think it would be a great fit for me.

As for finding a contractor, asking local investors for recommendations is a great start.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!   

We bought a single family up here last year and converted a garage to an ADU, which rented out really quickly to a great young couple.

I tried the "fix it" option on the Stessa site, and it constantly gave me the error that there was a problem with my bank?

@Philip Beckwith typically in Michigan, you can only do a tax appeal in February.The instructions will be on the back of your winter tax bill.You will need to have great comparables to challenge the City Assessor's valuation.

Good luck and Indianapolis is a great market.

Any insight would be great!!  

Platforms like Zillow or Redfin can give you insight into comparable properties, and PropStream is great for deeper analysis like liens or ownership history.
