The key is to be VERY conservative with your reserve money (don't ever bend the rules on those) and be VERY VERY aggressive with all of your other money.  

Plus as already been said, you bend here and more and more requests will be made.

The body does not require it to remain healthy with walking, bending and stretching associated with normal daily activities.If you are living a sedimentary life style your diet needs to reflect that fact however additional walking should be added to maintain flexibility of muscles through increased blood circulation. 

When you show up as a new investor to them, the agent already knows that it is not going to be a big fish property, so they are not going to make it a top priority to bend over backwards for you or a cheap house.... understandable, because I am an agent who also gets the 5-10 calls a month from people looking a cheap home for "deals".  

I am looking for local wholesalers to joint venture with in South Bend.

Are there any investor already doing the business in South Bend, that can give me any pointers?

In regards to investing in Indiana, I am from the South Bend area which is roughly three hours north of Indianapolis, should I focus closer to the South Bend area to start?

This is a concept I like to bend the rules on a little.

Some of their policies certainly do help but there has been countless times when they’ve walked back or bend the core message of what they’ve campaigned on.

One in Indianapolis, and one in South Bend, Indiana.
