I’ve been a fan of the Bigger Pockets podcast for several years and am now eager to dive into real estate investing.I’m looking to make connections in Carmel, North Indianapolis, and the surrounding areas.

I'm a fan of housing hacking too.

I’m a fan of using equity just sitting there doing anything for me.

OTOH bathroom renovations aren't too expensive, and I am always a fan of a larger walk in shower stall. 

Hmmm, seems like your broker isn't a big fan of investing there.

Personally not a fan of out of state BRRRR.I think it's a recipe for disaster and having been in the game for 10+ years, I've seen the disaster first hand as I bought hundreds of deals from disgruntled out of state investors who thought they can do it themselves.My property management company has doubled in 12 months also due to out of state investors getting caught with a poor property manager when trying to do it themselves from afar so they come to us for help 🤷‍♂️I'm seeing many investors buying D class crap on the MLS for too much and that needs work.They end up being into the property for 30% more than they would be that if they just bought turnkey.A true turnkey provider will find the cheapest/best deals through a variety of acquisition methods, renovate well and sell for fair market value (And manage in-house).If things go South, they are solely to blame and the penny drops with them.But with DIY, who is to blame?

Made in China-  fans, switches, lights, latches, door window handles, etc etc.    

I personally am a big fan of the Cleveland market.

@Kristin Caras - I'm a fan.  66 units and growing. 

@Michael SlockersThanks for your post.....I too am a fan of Dave Ramsey’s and have done some stupids things like purchasing homes I should not have.
