Hello, I have been virtually wholesaling & flipping in TX for four years.

I recorded a virtual tour on my cell phone because I was getting tour requests I couldn't fulfill, but no one has asked to see the property since I made the recording.

There's also a major university there, Ken Griffin just moved Citadel hedge fund down there, and the technology entrepreneurial landscape is opening up as well.

You can hire a few different virtual assistants on a website such as Upwork.com, train them on how to skip trace, and stick with the one that is the best. 

University of Kentucky and Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government Land Swap: In 2018, the University of Kentucky exchanged 250 acres near its Coldstream Research Campus for control of several important roads in and around campus, contributing to economic development opportunities and improved urban planning. 

Pairing that with relationship-building will help you uncover off-market opportunities and find local experts who can guide you.For meetups, here are a few ideas:Indianapolis Real Estate Investors Association (Indy REIA): They have a mix of virtual and in-person events and are a good starting point for networking with other investors in the Indy market.Louisville Real Estate Investors Group (REIG): A similar organization for the Louisville market, with educational and networking opportunities.Check out BiggerPockets Meetups: Many cities have local meetups organized by investors active on BiggerPockets, and they often include virtual options.Facebook Groups: Look for local investing groups like "Indianapolis Real Estate Investors" or "Louisville REI."

With a budget of $300K-$400K, you could potentially find single-family homes or small multi-units in those areas.I'd recommend researching rental demand near universities like Duke or NC State or even checking out neighborhoods with strong job growth near tech hubs.

We do a lot of mid term rentals from universities near by, and traveling professionals.

And even though virtually every sponsor agreement allows me to share investment information with others who might be advising me on it (especially when club members are bound by an NDA), I still ask the sponsor if I can share it, because it's a test.

This market is growing rapidly, it's a state capitol, and we have two major universities.
