You can have your pick of neighborhoods to still receive profitable rental rates until the surrounding streets/property appreciate to your satisfaction and you'd like to sell.For the last couple years, Indianapolis has been experiencing an influx of young professionals, which as mentioned above, contributes to a solidly rising economy for the state over-all and further stabilizes the rental market; in my opinion you can't go wrong with a buy & hold right now, especially if you're keen about running the numbers and comparing your comps for long-term profitability.Also, do not underestimate the amount of information you can pull from other social medias - there are groups on Facebook and tags on Instagram that you can follow that will have opinions from locals and other investors who are rental property owners that may allow you to grow your knowledge of success rates and rental rate climates.Best of luck to you as you make your decision!!

It's the same as last year:- continue building my brand on my thought leadership platform...Instagram- looking down my 1st apartment acquisition in Cincinnati- Locate a cash partner- Continue building trust

@Michael Guzik,I actually agree with him on the social media as far as FB/Instagram, why you would brag about your accomplishments there to just get pats not he back, without any benefit doesn't make any sense to me.  

This thread will prove very useful to other vacation rental owners and is a cautionary tale w/great advice.

Too much time on Facebook, Instagram, etc.

Now that we're in the age of instagram and facebook and twitter, millenials want to be flashy and show off their awesome new modern apartment with manhattan views but what happens when the'yre stuck in these apartments with crippling student debt and subpar office jobs.

Tales of going into Bamberger's at Christmas time were legend.

Kind of reminds me of “A Bronx Tale”.

Buying in troughs and selling at peaks is a fairy tale.
