Especially in today's competitive market, being creative has never been so important! 

Most property manager cover all the services you offer charge a flat fee of 20% gross revenue. 65% is exorbitant - its 3.5X the market rate.

I'm a rookie trying to break into the market.

Hi there - I'm an investor new to the Indianapolis Residential Market and I was looking to network with active Residential Investors.

It seems that the tenants produced what we consider "sweatheart" leases signed days before the auction at below market rates.  

Placing such trust in me in this town where 1) I want him to bring more such deals to me 2) have a reputation in this market to maintain makes more sense.  

Buyers now need legal representation before they can see a property with an agent and commission will no longer be advertised (In the Greater Cincinnati market it will still be standard for sellers to pay buyer broker commission)I wanted to ask everyone who sees this, how are you changing anyway you are doing business (if you are)?

As a general rule, it's best to learn how to handle problems before they become problems. make a list of the potential problems you could face as a landlord: rent rates, marketing, collecting deposit, late rent, unpaid rent, abandoned rental, early lease termination, unauthorized pet, etc.

I came across an off market deal about 3 minutes from Youngstown State University, and wanted to hear other investor's opinion on the city.
