To be honest I had only maybe 12 followers... when I first started... now i have about 16 :)    12 of which were actually somehow my friends or people I knew... and the other 4... well... just some other typical folks in similar spectrum who are trying to dive into the world of the commercial real estate...What I found quite surprising is that a lot of folks are actually interested in my story...

Thanks ALL for chiming in...I love input and advice from ALL spectrums!!!

There are two sides of the spectrum with out of state rentals...On the very left is buying a gutjob at a deep discount and getting a higher return for some risk and hard work.

Two vacancies, at both ends of the spectrum, all in a matter of months.

I have been on both ends of the spectrum.

The full spectrum of homes are available in Indy - SFH and multi's - available on the MLS, Zillow and other commonly available resources. 

You then are responsible for paying rent to the landlord.A long term NNN lease of at least  30 years where you are responsible for taxes, insurance, and repairs are on the other end of the spectrum.

They pay for stagers and work hard on marketing to a broad spectrum.

In my hundreds of transactions, I've worked with investors all across the spectrum.

I would imagine that this question is always present - no matter where you are on the investing spectrum.
