Think Indianapolis is a great market for investing - we just released a list of our top 5 markets for BRRRR Investing for 2025 (just an analysis and prediction) and we put Indy at the Number 1 spot

I have properties all around popular spots, including smoky mountain.

Hey @Stephanie MedinaYou’re in such an exciting spot right now!

Knowledge is power:Thorough Inspections: Minimize surprises with detailed inspections and due diligence.Strong Screening: Careful tenant selection reduces vacancy and headaches.Diversification: Spread your investments across different locations and property types to mitigate risk.Financial Planning: Maintain a buffer and choose financing options that fit your long-term goals.

Educating yourself about common property maintenance processes doesn’t mean you have to become an expert, but even a basic understanding of repairs like plumbing or lead testing can go a long way in helping you make more informed decisions.It’s also worth discussing with your property manager how they select and negotiate with contractors.

I would use the income to slowly improve the house and once you get it to a good spot, HELOC out some money for a down payment on another place rinse and repeat. 

Been looking around North Conway its one of my other favorite spots to visit each year cozy little town with a lot of local amenities.

We have Clearwater, Saint Pete and Indian Rocks beaches that are hot spots for STRs.
