It was the ideal mix of renovation and updating that would bring a great ROI.

Bet most people are doing multifamily and mix-use and flipping  . 

I have heard mixed reviews.

@Joe Garvin 73% is great...what are the lodging taxes like in your area.My wife and I are doing a mixed use project and building in 3 suites to be used as BnB...my expectation was 30% occupancy...which seems more in alignment with the BnB industry...is the high occupancy normal for you guys? 

I'm looking to invest in a mixed use commercial and residential building.

Proximity and identification of higher worth asset pockets becomes difficult/volatile to predict.Political environment and societal expectations that can be borderline ideological with regards to the aboveIf the crime does not get under control (see the above thoughts on education, gini, poverty, etc) this will weigh on perceptions and asset values for years to comeOn the upside:Indy is positioned well as a logistics hub which fueled growth, and it has a reasonably diversified economy.There is access to high quality higher education in the area.I will not invest in Indy although I did look at it awhile bJim, It looks like you're letting emotions and ideologies mixed in with some anecdotal experience influence your perception of the market.

It's a mixed use building with 2 commercial spaces on the bottom and 3 small apartments on top.

@Lien VuongActually it’s not just the cap gain portion of your money that can be invested into a QOF, but rather you can invest both your basis and gain amounts and it would be considered a “mixed funds” investment.
