South side is very broad...any areas in particular?

I have interest and like to read/listen to a broad range of info.

However, real estate is such a broad field, everytime I dive into something around the corner there's always something new and honestly it's pretty scary.

I’d think that HOA’s rule over broad regulations.

When it comes to areas that people in their 20's and 30's you'll find it's quite broad.

@William Jenkins, I understand your personal preference but you're making some pretty broad statements that just don't jive with reality. 

It's really tough to be able to just give you broad advice without knowing what areas of investing you are looking to venture into.

I'm Michael and currently live in Indianapolis (South Broad Ripple). 

I do not think this was a major strategy killer, but the house sat empty during peak rental time (Summer before school started) and is still vacant at a price above Proforma.Some Observations: Closing costs came out to be much higher than the proforma estimateTaxes were spot onProperty Mgmt. fee spot onThe vacancy is listed at 4%, even though PM says I takes an average of 45 days to rent, so it’s a broad average I’m assuming after tenant leases or across all their properties.They advertise 2-year leases during the tour and most turnkeys are rented prior to closing, not the case for my property, still vacantOne inquiry has come in for a family whose house burned down, but they want 3-month lease smack in the middle of winter for another renewal, not optimalNeither the marketing department nor PM inside Reedy was very proactive as far as communication.

I place more weight on the desire for cash flow, but as I believe its more of a spectrum than an either/or, I'm trying to identify markets where there is at least a greater likelihood for appreciation as well.
