High level, relationships remain the same.  

Will you be able to attend live training that is offered?  

On paper I'm ready - I have the money, I've done the research, I have well-defined property/neighborhood criteriaI, I have an agent, contractor, property manager, lender, etc.I'm targeting off market deals with light value add potential in an area with high appreciation potential.

Indianapolis and its surrounding suburbs offer affordable property prices, a growing job market, and a steady influx of renters.

Before you get any further, if you haven’t, I would highly recommend writing out your investment goals, your reason for investing, how active you want to be, etc.

As long as you have reasonable expectations of:- Running a 24 hour business (mostly remote but guest communications and emergency maintenance issues)- Managing cleaners (schedule and quality)- Managing maintenance (urgent and scheduled/preventative)You will be fine.  80% of the work is remote, with the exception being cleaning and maintenance. 

The city offers relatively affordable property prices compared to many other major markets, which can be great for getting good value and generating positive cash flow.

Managing contractors and verifying quality of work/timelines can kill a deal.

A bank will not go above 75% typically so you have no ability to borrower or maybe get out $20kIn this environment with high prices and rates - I personally don’t think it makes sense to borrower for a down payment as you are just over leveraging with multiple sources of loans.

As others have said, I would stick with local, reputable roofing companies and not the pass-through companies that offer to do it cheap.
