Most real estate investing books will answer this question, and there are a lot of blogs about the topic.

Hi everyone, I'm looking at investing in a deal in Indiana.

I am finding that my offers are not in the ballpark of what sellers are expecting.

This in turn can open up what homes you can buy since the numbers will make more sense when putting 3-5% down instead of 20%. 

I currently have around 20k cash for a down payment and that is steadily increasing so I want to pull the trigger soon.I'm interested in Fort Wayne for a few reasons:- I have some family in the area (they won't be involved, but have some general knowledge of the area)- Decent schools- Low crime- Airport- Low pricesAny advice or connections are welcome as I am completely new to this.

Has anyone worked with them before and can shed a little more insight into how they work and operate? 

Perhaps there is a relevant book or podcast that you could suggest to expand my knowledge in this area.Considering you're experience with creative finance deals, which you mentioned previously, I am keen to hear about your personal insights and experiences.

Thank you so much for the valuable insights!

Looking forward to learning, sharing, and connecting with this community!
