Out of State investing is for experienced investors and it is best to start with a turn key property and get the lay of the land before you tackle a out of state construction project.All of the money made in a real estate transaction results for the initial purchase.

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a licensed contractor in Indianapolis that would be able to tackle anything from a small work order to a decent sized rehab.

I'm a new investor and I'm tackling my first deal - albeit a big one.

The fixed interest rate mortgage (especially with the rates we are still seeing these days) is one of the biggest boons of investing.I'll let someone with more banking experience tackle your other questions.

I always get proposals for larger scopes and sometimes pay it, sometimes tackle myself.

@Bob WillisLove this idea and I love the idea of a partnership, but unfortunately my wife is not on board for a partnership, therefore that leaves me with trying to tackle this project on my own. 

We also sold our worse condition duplex property to some flippers; it was in a better neighborhood, but it was a bigger job than we really want to tackle.

As I mentioned earlier, LOTS to tackle in your post. 

Inventory continues to drop as well, so that's a whole other issue to tackle.

Personally I'm thinking with all this newly found time at home most people will tackle home projects (one person mentioned Home Depot traffic) etc.
