@Chris Babb,I have moved in to the Build to Rent field full time. 

To move forward, determine whether you prefer local or out-of-state investing, cash flow or appreciation, and self-management or hiring a property manager.Good luck!

I’m part of the Rob Lawrence Team, an investor-focused real estate team based in South Eastern PA.

I am trying to build a nice little next egg first then move onto rentals.

The deadline has moved and been in question so much I just knew I'd miss it😩

If they choose not to accept the rental give them x days to move without penalty.

The fact I can go to my kid's golf game today, yet still catch a vendor overcharging me $81 the day before on a SFR in Georgia makes me feel the systems that are in place, plus the ability to manage sacrifices has paid off.I've had the same team in most of businesses for almost 8 years, and have a growing RE team that continue to impress me. 

Focus on areas with strong rental demand, like Broad Ripple, Fountain Square, or near universities like Butler and IUPUI.Maintenance Costs: Indiana weather can be tough on properties, so budget for seasonal maintenance like snow removal and HVAC servicing.Additional AdviceKeep an Emergency Fund: Unexpected repairs or vacancies can arise, so having 3-6 months of expenses saved will help you weather any surprises.Build a Reliable Team: I have lists of contractors, handymen, cleaners and property managers if you'd like me to send.Good luck with your property and future expansion!

However, due to my wife's pregnancy, we decided it would be best to move back to Miami to be closer to family in June 2024.
