Hi Kemi,I’d recommend connecting with investor-friendly agents and wholesalers, as well as joining local Facebook groups for off-market deals.

Heard about Obie from a friend and decided to give them a try.

After a year or two we intend to buy a larger property in the same area and partner with some friends on it but I do believe a boots on the ground person employed only by you is KEY to executing anything if you are not in the country yourself.

If that is the case then I would say yeah work with an agent who has a solid reputation either here or from a friend referral.

Both Indianapolis and Louisville are excellent markets to consider—affordable entry points, landlord-friendly laws, and steady rental demand.Since your background is in data science and analytics, you already have a strong foundation for analyzing deals.

I am looking into buying a duplex in Hyatt Park and wanted to get some advice on what contractors/suppliers I could contact that have investor friendly pricing for kitchen cabinets, countertops, and bathroom vanities.

In my area, I see a big need for a " military friendly" resource in the real estate market. 

Investing in AZ, NV, ID, where you have family or friends that is a day away and you can start to build a network and team to help manage a property.  

Our DSCR product is very STR friendly and heavily lean on AirDNA data vs appraisal.  

Time is money and I prefer spending my time with my fam and friends instead of problem tenants and legal cases.
