I have approached some local banks in Indy and may need to go that route again.I will reach out to Wells Fargo.  

However, I think it is most important to note that investing requires a dynamic approach to analysis; we should be looking at the direction of the area as opposed to where the area is at the moment.Just a couple of my thoughts, hope it helps!

@Stephen Miller I like the creativity in this approach. 

A BP podcast rehabber had mentioned this approach because he had been burned waiting 10 hrs all day for contractors that did not show. 

We are approaching 1,000 units owned between Northwest AR, Kansas City, Little Rock, Montana, and St Louis.  

Act...I'm looking for feedback from the BP community on how they would approach this...and whether it is true that there is no limit to rent increases in Chicago cook county. 

We figured this is a little bit of a safer approach than having a very low cash flow and hoping that the property goes up in value.

I'm hoping that i can get some feedback from the members of this group on how they approach that question?

My question is, what is the best approach to finding good deals and learning the area?

I am not a big “salesman” type of guy, so I am not really sure how to approach the seller financing conversation.
