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.
