You will also find them in Broad Ripple and Fountain Square.

I would like to purchase a duplex or triplex in Scottsdale or Fountain Hills. 

Fountain Square is arguably Indy's best neighborhood for investors but its hard to get anything there turnkey for the price range you are looking in.

I remember when everybody was wanting to get in to Fountain Square (SE of downtown) and many real estate professionals didn't know why.

Thank you @Andrew Michael and @Robert Fountain you guys gave great insight. 

Desk fees can range from $100 a month plusE&O insurance is about $100 per transactionCommissionsI put this last because you should really be focused on the above questions.The money will flow when you start putting deals together.The more deals and education you have the more money you will make, but there is a learning curve and the brokerage needs to be rewarded for that effort.There are Brokerages that offer a 50/50 split to new agent and there are offices with only a desk fee of $100 a month, so nearly 100% commissions.The difference is that the 50/50 split office will hold your hand and offer way more training and possibly some leads and the $100 a month office considers you an experience agent that only need minimal assistance and NO lead generation.I hope you find this information useful and if you need anything else please reach out to me offline.anaheim, brea, costa mesa, coto de caza, cypress, dana point, fountain valley, garden grove, huntington beach, irvine, la habra, ladera ranch, laguna beach, laguna hills, laguna niguel, lake forest, mission viejo, newport beach, orange county, placentia, rancho santa margarita, san clemente, san juan capistrano, santa ana, stanton, tustin, westminster, yorba linda

@Dalton Fountain - All of the books that @Scott Van Straten mentioned above are great. 

I actually live in Fountain, CO if that makes too much of a difference

Hi Robert Fountain the best way is to find a property and have your number ready.

Does he want to buy a really nice place, or a property that isn't in the best condition and that he can  fix up (which will cause forced appreciation).As you probably have heard on the podcasts that no one buys a property and banks on the value (appreciation going up), that's kinda like throwing a penny into the fountain and making a wish hoping it comes true.
