Talk to real estate agents who own in the area you're looking at (yeah, I know it sounds like they'll push you into their market to make you a customer, but you need their wisdom, and when time to buy, you'll need their services). 

I came across this old thread and hoping some of you can give recommendation and wisdom regarding property management company in Indiana.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.

Thanks for your time, and thanks in advance for any advice/ words of wisdom from you knowledgeable experts out there!

I can remember in the last up-cycle the common wisdom was that no one would buy a townhome much less a duplex or condo.You will find the best luck with four-plexes as many developers (including ourselves) like to build them and sell them into the investor market but these are being snapped up right now at very aggressive cap rates due to the under supply and due to rental rates steadily rising.One suggestion for a house hack is to look within Boise for a home that can be split into a duplex. 

@Scott Meyers thank you for your advise and guidance.I read your book and your articles.I am going to follow and start taking action on your golden Nugget wisdom

Would love to connect and get some wisdom from you!

Wanted to get some wisdom before moving forward. 

Being around people with experience can give you the information, wisdom, and exposure you need.Maybe you can take some off and go out on a job or two with your friend with experience.

Conventional wisdom dictates that OOS investors have a hard time in the less affluent neighborhoods.
