I am looking to buy my first investment property and have heard a lot about  Fort WayneAs an out of state investor, I am looking to connect with investors/agents in the area to build further knowledge on specifics with the markets and hopefully bring business to in the future!

The only additional thing that needs to happen is make sure appraiser makes note of why the value increase in as is vs previous purchase price.

They have been historically reliable over the last few years but I am hearing some rumblings of reduced leverage, slight increase to rate, or some kind of minor tweak to DSCR lending with some programs.Happy to jump on a call if you have any questions or concerns.Good luck!
