You will appreciate what a couple of month of effort and education can do for your credit with very little financal output.

Thank you for the absolute TREASURE trove of knowledge and selfless peer education provided on this forum. 

Educating yourself on how to offer 5-star remote management would be ideal as well!

You seem to not want to take it as intended (to educate) and I am not sure it that is name calling or whatever it is.I do wish you would take the time this week to do the effort to properly estimate your maintenance/cap ex for a sustained hold. 

Educate yourself, become expert, then make decisions from a place of expertise.  

Thank you,Jerry Jerry, I recommend getting in touch with an experienced broker who can educate you on all the possible options in the investment space for cash-out refinances.

Did you attend educational courses to enhance your real estate knowledge?

If that leads to a more structured and education based meeting, then that is great - if it remains just a place to gather and bounce ideas and network, that's great too.

It sounds like you are off to a great start already especially by educating yourself! 

Pairing that with relationship-building will help you uncover off-market opportunities and find local experts who can guide you.For meetups, here are a few ideas:Indianapolis Real Estate Investors Association (Indy REIA): They have a mix of virtual and in-person events and are a good starting point for networking with other investors in the Indy market.Louisville Real Estate Investors Group (REIG): A similar organization for the Louisville market, with educational and networking opportunities.Check out BiggerPockets Meetups: Many cities have local meetups organized by investors active on BiggerPockets, and they often include virtual options.Facebook Groups: Look for local investing groups like "Indianapolis Real Estate Investors" or "Louisville REI."
