If you're looking in bigger cities, look into the surrounding areas that will be less expensive and provide you with a better rent to value ratio.  

Thanks to Bigger Pockets for that tip!

Hello Bigger Pockets, I am interested in purchasing a single family residence investment property in Indianapolis and I was told by the real estate agent that if I purchase it as an investment property that the property taxes would double.

Additionally, if you have concerns that he may damage the property if he gets upset, that isn't a good reason to allow them to stay; it's a bigger driver to not renew the lease and get a better tenant in. 

At this stage, I hope to have enough experience, and the network to be able to accurately estimate total expenses, allowing me to move towards bigger projects with bigger potential gains.Any advice on ways I can move forward with my goals?

Take advantage of educational resources provided by sponsors, attend webinars or seminars, and ask questions to deepen your understanding and confidence in the investment process.5.

Dave above is also a great local resource.

It's awesome to have you here, this is a great place to learn and to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.

Use online resources, public records, satellite imagery, and neighborhood data to assess the property's potential.

Happy to share some resources or talk more if you want to connect.
