Building your team is by far the most important thing you can do as you get going.  

You can build your own team i.e. title co, insurance, pm, contractors, handyman,process server, lender etc.... or you can find an operator who can get you going in that market while simultaneously building out your team.Section 8 housing is a great way to ensure consistency with rent payments however not all tenant who have HCV pay 0%.

Focus on areas with strong rental demand, like Broad Ripple, Fountain Square, or near universities like Butler and IUPUI.Maintenance Costs: Indiana weather can be tough on properties, so budget for seasonal maintenance like snow removal and HVAC servicing.Additional AdviceKeep an Emergency Fund: Unexpected repairs or vacancies can arise, so having 3-6 months of expenses saved will help you weather any surprises.Build a Reliable Team: I have lists of contractors, handymen, cleaners and property managers if you'd like me to send.Good luck with your property and future expansion!

I plan on managing these myself until I get to a threshold that makes sense to pay someone on my Realty Team to take over property management.Yes, he is willing to do 6% for 10 years with 50% down.

My goal is to start with rental arbitrage, build a solid property management team in the area, and then transition into acquiring properties for STR.Would love to hear from anyone who has experience in this market:- Is rental arbitrage feasible here?

Our team was recently introduced to an enlightening “Ted Talk” on Mobile Home Parks, given by Dr.

The fact I can go to my kid's golf game today, yet still catch a vendor overcharging me $81 the day before on a SFR in Georgia makes me feel the systems that are in place, plus the ability to manage sacrifices has paid off.I've had the same team in most of businesses for almost 8 years, and have a growing RE team that continue to impress me. 

@Elvon BowmanFrom my experience, aiming for larger properties (100-200+ units) on your first deal isn’t too ambitious if you have a solid team and resources in place.
