I would aim for a higher ROI around Indy!

I like the idea of 2-3k monthly rent at a price point of 150k, but I dunno how realistic those rents can be.I've got good w2 income to supplement park development if necessary.

While we are indeed living in an age of low interest rates, the reasons for lower home ownership are legion and can't simply be ascribed to nefarious aims of the 1% "owning the world".  

I like to hear about the diversification, flipping income supplemented with mailbox money!

Should I aim to get two separate umbrellas?

It also sounds like a perfect candidate for a short sale, with the foundation repair bid in the supplements on the MLS.  

Based on my experience and conversations with the direct mail veterans, you should aim for a minimum of 500 mailers a week unless you have a very targeted list.  

With all the costs associated with flipping, which is my goal starting out, I am aiming at 50%, because that is the only way I am confident I will make a profit in my market. 70% After closing costs and rehab puts me back at purchase price, with no guarantee of any profit.
