I’m Keagan, a realtor and investor based in Indianapolis, and I’ve worked with several clients on value-add multifamily deals and have done a couple myself.For finding off-market opportunities, I’d recommend:County Tax Delinquent Lists – Great for uncovering distressed properties.Direct Mail Campaigns – Target out-of-state owners.Local Networking Events – Connect with wholesalers who specialize in multifamily.I’d be happy to introduce you to lenders and share leads if Indy is on your radar.

It’s about uncovering high-demand niches that hold up even during fluctuations in the broader market.What I’m describing aligns partly with absorption, but I’m looking for a tool that allows me to drill down into the components of that absorption rate—filtering by factors such as the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, home type, amenities, and more.Do you see merit in this approach?

Apply the 70% rule to determine your maximum allowable offer, then negotiate and get the property under contract, ensuring your agreement includes inspection and financing contingencies.Arrange professional inspections to uncover any unforeseen issues, using these findings to negotiate concessions or confirm your repair budget.
