I enjoyed the 3 day workshop and thought it was worthwhile so I joined the $40k program and I have regretted it!

Take the PassivePockets passive investing course (free when you join I think). 

I'd also recommend joining a local Indianapolis based REIA asap. the REIA will provide a group of investors who could get you some contractor recommends if you decide to GC the prop yourself.You said it "needs a little work done" but budgeted $50k so those two things kind of contradict unless the home is a larger home...just curious, what's "a little work", if you haven't had an inspection yet and don't feel comfortable evaluating the costs on your own?
