Earthquakes are relatively rare in Indiana, with just 44 quakes above a magnitude 3 reported in the last 200 years, according to Indiana Geological & Water Survey Outreach Coordinator Polly Sturgeon. thats wild the big SF quake was 1908  .. having lived right on the loma preita fault ( big fault that runs up the SF penninsula i never bought it.. although if the property is not strapped down to the foundation i would go ahead and do that.. then really the only thing that will break will be contents..

@Gabriel Johnson-Wesley that book will be a great foundational book for you.

MartinLooks like your $15-20K foundation repair estimate comes from the inspector (which actually looks good on most situations).

Not only will mortgage costs be lower, so will maintenance and taxes, and you’ll have better cash flow which can be the foundation of your financial freedom.

I agree that building a local team is the challenge, and I believe this is the foundation to out of state investing.I think I have some key points here, start out of state, build a team and invest my money in 2-3 properties maybe and leverage the remaining amount.Thank you Zach, will definitely reach out.

It looks like you have built a great foundation to help you reach your goals.

For example if you were to say we have an emergency foundation issue on a lot of combined townhomes that needs to be resolved immediately due to the safety of the members of our community then sure I can wrap my head around that.
