The actual homes seem nice, not centuries old and minimal crime.

Hello from Tampa where I am sick of two years of Keller Williams, Century 21, Southerby's and lots of other "Pros"...Agents, calling me at 8AM each morning wanting to List my property that I have on Craigslist and Zillow.com etc.

Clearly if you choose a name like Coldwell Banker or Century 21 you might get a nasty letter in the mail but basically no you don't need an LLC to start "doing business as" xyz business entity. 

By the middle of the Twentieth Century in the United States, only eight states - Alabama, Georgia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island - still adhered to the theory that a mortgage conveys title to the mortgagee ..."

Converted lofts, mid century modern homes with high end modern finishes. 

Be very afraid, in a couple of centuries, Miami will be under water.  

Given that this is the 21st century, I'm curious what methods of payments any of you have used which have been particularly successful or unsuccessful for you, what the costs are and any advise you might have. 

The market is consumed by RE/Max, Century 21, Coldwell Banker, Weichert, Assist-2-Sell, etc.

The problem is that most of the multi family in Indy are old turn of the century SFR's that have been converted and in rough parts of the city.

It seems to be that most listings have the same basic attributes: built mid century, usually some minor renovation in the 80s or 90s, often look like they're renter ready but need some cosmetic work at least (my current tolerance for rehab work is very limited at the moment).
