I'm also involved in the real estate world, particularly in investment properties, and I'm based in Indianapolis.

My septic inspector regularly tells me there’s generally no septic police for these matters once the property is built.

Insurance probably sent an inspector who gave a ballpark repair cost in addition to the cost estimate the clean up company provided.I'm assuming you used the clean up mitigation company the insurance suggested, who may not be your best choice.Get another estimate to return the property to full glory, cost for paint, glue, dumpsters, every nitty gritty drywall screw, plus putting your tenant in like kind housing.

I completely get where you're coming from; the fear of starting can be daunting, but the rewards of pushing through that fear are immense.I’m involved in real estate investing, specifically focused on new construction duplexes in Indianapolis.

I asked my realtor for a PM referral and I talked the PM and he said it sounds like a decent deal and I researched inspectors online and the inspector went and checked it out and he said it had good bones and he said he'd buy it as a rental property.

If you are interested in the Indianapolis or surrounding area, feel free to reach out.

I've used them (not sure if I can name, but starts with an R and ends with an A) on about 6 or 7 of my deals so far and its true 100%, no money down financing.The only catch is that they cross collateralize against other properties you own - including your primary residence.But they close and are very thorough.Their appraiser and rehab inspectors are very good too.

Get good at knowing what to look for so that you can make quick decisions without having to wait for an inspector.

Next time on a MAJOR renovation project, I'd have the City of Johnson City Building Inspector join me for a pre-purchase tour to tell me what permits and what jobs they'll require of me.

Hi Alejandro, I just had a new client (investor) from Toronto drive the short 8 hour drive to Indianapolis this weekend to do some research of the area with me.
