To answer your question from earlier, basically many have said what I summarized it the "tough" statement.

As to your final query... and to summarize the involvement and resulting partnership discussed above, you will learn in that book how to create an equity partner.  

I tested a few "neighborhoods" in the application, and the unfortunately data can be highly misleading (Note:  How this website defines "neighborhoods" may be different than common definitions (one simple example would be how they define the borders of Fountain Square - I don't think that most real estate professionals would say that Fountain Square goes that far east).Also, if you take as an example a neighborhood like Butler-Tarkington, on the south end (38th-42nd), it can be quite rough and $50k houses can be found readily, but in the northern end of the exact same neighborhood, you can find beautiful virtual mansions with manicured lawns which can easily be $500k - $1MM.So, just to summarize, while there are some "tools" which can be helpful, this just further illustrates once again, how difficult & challenging, Indianapolis can be & how one must do their own due diligence.Best,Matthew

Document everything, send emails that summarize verbal conversations3.

Hello and thank you in advance for your advice.To summarize, we were supposed to close early June and I hadn't heard any updates so I reached out to the seller.

I would summarize with one simple focus- build your network.

To summarize: Un-competitively high sponsor compensation, low volume, high minimums, very little skin in the game.

Ask your family and friends if they know any investors that might be wanting to sell any units.To summarize, you have three options:1. find 20 to 30% cash to put down and find a hard money lender2. find seller financing3. find a subject to dealThink of somebody wealthy that has been a longtime friend, or family friend, and ask them how they got started, I found a three-property package deal just by asking a wealthy friend how he got started in the biz.

@Ryland Taniguchi has it well summarized above.

I'll summarize the options that I gave them:1.
