My eventual goal is to own a portfolio of properties outside of my personal residence, but the first two properties I buy will likely be house hack duplexes to get the ball rolling with low down payments.I understand that in house hacking and FHA loans, I will need to own the property in my own name.

The selling agent said many investors reached out to her and low balled her, as to be expected. 

I am moving to Indianapolis in the spring, and would love to start forming my team to get the ball rolling on my journey.

So make sure you have the funds, and be prepared to go over your budget.Also, you will need a very competent group of engineers and contractors, to do this correctly.Do plenty of due diligence and give your municipality zoning board to get the ball rolling.If you have any other questions don't hesitate to contact me!

Also, it's not going to fix the garage door, so to move the ball down the field I would try to have a garage door repair pro (someone who is trustworthy and not unfamiliar with investors) give it a look over, do a safety assessment, and let their take determine who pays for what. 

It is a bit of an odd-ball property with not being a conventional apartment building, but aside from that there is a good opportunity to really improve the NOI and refinance (essentially BRRRR the property to a comfortable amount of leverage).2.

I checked the temperature of the pool water and on the surface it’s 62 F, the national center of cold water safety says that we need to be careful with any water temperature below 70 F.

Depending on the expected temperatures in your area I'd look at doing the same thing until you have the HVAC situation handled. 

The ball is in your court.

Put the ball in their court.
