Hello all - I am an out of state investor, and am exploring investing in SFH or small MFH (duplex/triplex/quadplex) in the Indy market.

I am an active real estate broker and general contractor here in Memphis and this is a great market for RE investing!

This guide will break down the key reasons to explore this market and how you can navigate it effectively.What Are Distressed Properties?

Right now, I’m in full research and networking mode—learning about Milwaukee’s neighborhoods, connecting with local investors, and exploring my first investment.

I may explore other areas in Maryland after I get my feet wet with the second property

I actively buy real estate in Arizona.

But to answer your question why you still see so many active STR's on Airbnb in a restricted area, it could be a couple things: It could be a "hosted rental" meaning the homeowner is there and is just renting rooms on Airbnb.

I am mostly active in the North East.

It sounds like you’re exploring a lot of great strategies—house hacking and live-in flips can be great entry points while building equity.Looking forward to seeing how your investing journey unfolds—welcome aboard!

In light of this, I have been exploring the possibility of pursuing creative finance options, specifically seller finance deals, as a potential means to achieve my goals.
