Currently, I have a weekly check in with my current contractor, but alot of time it is a chasing game.

A good way into it may be doing a house hack or live and flip then pulling the equity out in a refinance.Tons of ways to make money in this game!

Real estate is a slow game, but over time, it can help you build significant wealth.

Even in high-cost markets, creative financing or partnering with experienced investors could help you get in the game.

The core principles in The Book on Rental Property Investing still hold up, but higher interest rates definitely change the game.

Look, we were for most part playing a game of American Football for a long time.

Here’s why:Affordability: You can find solid properties here well within your $200k–$300k budget.Cash Flow Potential: Indianapolis has a growing population, a diverse economy, and relatively low property taxes compared to some other midwestern markets like Cleveland.Investor-Friendly: Indy is landlord-friendly with strong rental demand, especially in neighborhoods near downtown, universities, and revitalized areas like Fountain Square or Irvington.If you’re open to a strategy involving light renovations, there are plenty of opportunities to add equity and boost rental income here.

The game plan would be to keep this structure for 1-2 years with future full sale.

If you are investing for the long game, I say go for it - we have to be creative in this market to make things pencil. 

Would love an opportunity to pick the brain of someone who is seasoned in the game.
