Permits are in the final approval stages with the city, only in need of the final stormwater approval.

Its had some renovations over the past few years but was painted horribly and staged even worse so it sat on the market for a while. 

I am strictly buy and hold; anything I buy today has to be really appealing-not going to gamble on any dogs or overpriced queens at this stage of the market-and certainly not counting on any appreciation for the next while.

I'm guessing your at the early stages of your investment career. 

You may want to look for markets earlier in their turn around stages, and many other have already left the station and become seller's markets.  

I went outside after I called the cops and both times the officers went by, they'd be quiet, so the officers wouldn't hear them being loud.They keep the lights in the front off while they're "hanging out" so that makes it difficult for officers to see what's going on until they get up on the house - by that time, they have quieted down long enough for the officers not to see or hear anything.I got tired of the 30+ calls regarding their noise not making a difference in how much noise they consistently made daily and out of a week - they would average at least 4 nights out of the week to be a complete and utter nuisance.So after being awakened at 2:35am and seeing their usual ploys, I went to stand where they could see me and proceeded to stand there for five minutes before they realized that I was standing there.The old man asked: "are you okay?"

I feel like at this stage, I'm analyzing deals and more or less guessing on ARV but that's a HUGELY important figure to get right, so my deal analysis is rather moot if I'm just guessing ARV...Does anyone have any processes to share that make calculating ARV a bit more streamlined?

Realizing each investor is in a different stage in life and may have significantly different goals at that stage, I’d like to hear some thoughts on how much equity you like to keep in your property.Economics are strong where I am in Palm Beach County, Florida.

Another friend of mine is in the counter-offer stage with his project in Merced. 

Anyway, I'm now at the stage of preparing to make offers and am looking for a Realtor that is also an active investor and is willing and able to provide insight into the Indianapolis market and real estate investing in general.
