Hi @Lolo Druff, @Nicholas L. referenced my previous post about buying out of state - I've had mixed results in Indianapolis metro area, Class A (nice suburb, great schools) rental has done well but Class C has been a huge headache (repair costs, stolen AC unit, attempted break in).

Currently talking to local schools and realtors.

I attended middle school here and spent many years growing up in the area.

It is near 2 schools and a church, which look nice.
