And even if so, would me walking the properties really give me more information than I would get from an experienced contractor/inspector?

I’ve been helping investors, many of whom are new to real estate, get into cash-flowing new construction duplexes in Indianapolis.

I invest in the Bay Area and Indianapolis metro area.

As a commercial operation I had to keep a log of maintenance and was constantly worried about state inspections because a lot of the time we really weren’t in operation but for the state inspectors you were supposed to be available from 8am-5pm everyday of the season.

I’m a few years out of college and working as a software engineer in Indianapolis.

I am a local Realtor in Indianapolis, IN, and I specialize in helping out of state investors invest here!

My duplex had an additional unit built in the basement and discovered by city inspectors when a neighboring squabble caused buildings department to check houses on the block and my house had 3 mailboxes out front.

In markets like Indianapolis, you can find new construction duplexes with solid rental returns at a much lower price point, often in the $400k range or lower, with better cash flow than many coastal markets.I work with Neu Real Estate Group, and we specialize in new construction duplexes for investors, specifically designed to maximize rental income.

Example - "I want to house hack in Indianapolis and am pre-approved for $500k, what can I get?"

The seller wants to do a private sale(yes I have an inspector and contractor on hand).
