It sounds like it's not in a very desirable area, based on the price and rents.

It can be problematic if gas hasn't been turned on in a while.

So I have a 64" pocket in a new 1bd cabin build that can fit an integrated vertical twin murphey bed in the living room with side dressor or a row of book shelfs + cab.

My thought is if you have $40,000 invest it in a project....not mentoring. 

Just run numbers in a BP calculator.

You save up money, buy an investment property in a market you believe in, and hold it for 30+ years while managing it as best you can.

While its frustrating as you were told something different, it does not overwrite existing lawsI live in a street that has an easement for the first 15 ft of driveway and we have had several neighbords put in gated entry and brick walls which is in the easement.

So, just beware that you want to look at how you are doing business not just for your own benefit in a situation like this but to protect yourself from other issues as well. 5. 

same with HVAC and other big ticket items.with that said, i don't invest in Indianapolis, but you're likely still in a sellers market, which means that sellers are going to be less inclined to make fixes / give credits for issues. 

Just because you've ridden in a plan does not mean your qualified to fly a plane.
