I am looking to buy a 2 or 3-unit home in NYC.

You can probably find good deals in Tampa right now, but I'd be very strategic about where you buy and yes, insurance and taxes can be killer, but there are plenty of investors there and for good reason. 

Quote from @Kaushik Sarkar: Hi,I am looking to invest first time with a turnkey developer,  who is buying the land and building a multi unit commercial retail center and some apartments.

You magically get the seller to cover every single closing cost (A $12k gift, or a trick to get you to buy their problem.).

Can any investors in the Indianapolis market  please help by referring me to an agent they have used to buy properties that they were satisfied with?

Jessica, we do have thousands of organic likes on Facebook and have been in business since 2007, please Google us, we are no allowed to ad links nor phone numbers on here. 

I buy in the 220-260k range.

-------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

The more information that you have out there the easier it is for people to find you, if you want them to find you.I almost everyday wear my "Rick Buys Houses" shirts with my phone number on it.
