As a new investor, focusing on these can give you a solid foundation to grow your portfolio.I’m primarily focused on the Indianapolis market, where we specialize in new build duplexes that offer strong returns and stable rental income.

Jumping into a deal just because it feels like you "need" to can be tempting, but as your story highlights, it doesn’t always lead to the returns we hope for no matter how hard we try and convince ourselves that we know everything, it is like the universe pushing the other way around against us.I especially appreciate your point about really knowing your market.

I will say that the skip tracing with DealMachine does not return accurate phone numbers most of the time, but I have gotten some working numbers.Also, PropStream costs $99 per month whereas you can use the DealMachine features for $49 per month.
