Indianapolis is a street-by-street though, so you have to know where to look.

Back in December 2018, I was part of a group that purchased 2240 Post Street in the 32204 (Riverside) area of Jacksonville.

They will approve houses there but because of issues they are extremely strict (to the point of being excessive) its one of the 3 highest crime streets in the entire zip.

(craigslist, FSBO, zillow, etc. as well as placing signs on the street corners in the area) You should be receiving a high volume of calls if you expect to sell all those homes.

- not best area due to crime, bad schools, but location is good for people working in city.no-one car garage only, on street parking might be tight, 2-3 car can fit in drive way - current owner brought around 700 in 2017, asking 1.1M  not sure if its worth,  comp does not justify. - seller is in hurry,  want to list on market soon - seller only upgraded major appliances,  flooring and crown molding, overall asking price seems too high.

So, initially the goal was simply to earn returns outside of Wall Street.

Cleveland is the one I am most familiar with and it's also very popular with investors across the USA so I figured you'd get some value out of reading The Ultimate Guide to Grading Cleveland Neighborhoods.

I know there are plans to build condos (100+ at market rate) between 2nd and 3rd Streets from Eye to K.

Only issue is at  the end of January 2020 two properties on the same street and following street sold for 180k, and 175k, both were 930 SF, and 808 SF!

Somewhere across the street, it's not raining.
