When looking for locations to invest in real estate, Indianapolis shows up often for having good cash flow and projected appreciation.

If possible find a local partner that can potentially put some skin in the game. that local partner can then become your eyes and ears on the ground2.

This way, you don't rush into selling a property that still holds potential and you can gauge the viability of short term rentals without fully committing yet.Additionally, talk to a few local property managers or even consider different marketing strategies to attract tenants.

@Christian MaherDo you like the location of the property? 

Have never done this before and will need to start getting up to speed on what all is required to get on vrbo and Airbnb, any local city requirements for this type of use.Thanks again

Good location.

@Rachna CondosYou can try contacting the local hospitals and other relocation professionals that assist new employees finding housing.

build a triplex and think outside your market. you can take that and build over and over and if you build with resale and exit and equity in mind you'll be able to find locations where the new build value is enough to pull equity out and cash flow as well at the 1% rule.

Hello,I want to expedite my success in local flipping and out of state BRRRR deals.
