There’s something incredibly rewarding about creating spaces that positively impact people’s lives.  

Can you give me some thoughts and insights about Brandon Turner leaving and its impact in the community of BiggerPockets?

I suppose what I’m trying to figure out is: if my property is 1.5 - 2 miles (30+ min walk) from the closest cluster of hospitals, how much will that impact the units desirability for most nurses?

Not sure about Providence. 

@Ryan BrayHUD will not turn on the utilities and my guess is you are outside your 15 day window where you could at your own expense provided that the PCR report did not find anything that would prevent it.Your option is to ask your lender if there is any work around such as an escrow for repairs or an as-is appraisal. 

No, just inform them you are the new owner (they may want proof) and provide them with the address to send payments. 

I'd also recommend joining a local Indianapolis based REIA asap. the REIA will provide a group of investors who could get you some contractor recommends if you decide to GC the prop yourself.You said it "needs a little work done" but budgeted $50k so those two things kind of contradict unless the home is a larger home...just curious, what's "a little work", if you haven't had an inspection yet and don't feel comfortable evaluating the costs on your own?

No matter where you choose to invest, please keep in mind the following (copy & paste):--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

Anyone able to provide some insight or have some referrals?
