I would also drive around the immediate area a bit too, so you can get a feel for the area (check out Butler campus, Broad Ripple, etc). 

You want to find partners, not butlers.

Quote from @Vivian Butler: Don't use them.

New flooring, new appliance package, paint everything, new tile...in this property, we added a mudroom and a butler's panty with a sink by just redesigning what was there.

Send me a pm.Best Regards,Daren

It is a 100 year old purpose built apartment building which was considered high end in the early 1900s, with butlers' quarters in the basement of the building, and each apartment boasting 1400 sq ft / 2 beds / 1.5 baths and maids' quarters in the back.  

Butler tends to be as far North on 23 I like to go for rental properties. 

I have had some success going through someone named Kim Butler in my local OKC market, and she is usually able to shop multiple insurance companies when I run into a more unique scenario such as multi-unit properties.

There's plenty of value to be found in neighborhoods such as Christian Park and Martindale-Brightwood (near Fountain Square and Irvington), Near Northwest-Riverside, Near/Old Southside, and Butler/Tarkington despite being quite close to some of the sketchier parts of the city.If you are ever interested or need assistance, feel free to connect with me.
