Hello Seasoned BP Members - I am planning to scout the Indianapolis markets for buy and holds.

I think if you are planning to buy and hold for 10+ years, you should be fine.However, most seasoned investors will probably tell you that you can make money in any market (up/down) and whether you are flipping, or planning to buy and hold.

If your seasoned, understand agency, understand fiduciary responsibility and know how to negotiate then call the listing agent.

Depending on the contractor and the season, I have weekends off.

Or should I put the money into the LLC, then buy the first property with cash (to build credibility/assets), then use the BRRRR strategy to refi once seasoned?
