Hi there - I'm an investor new to the Indianapolis Residential Market and I was looking to network with active Residential Investors.

It felt like way more, but I wasn't previously saving appropriately for maintenance and capital expenses. $1,600 in rent (ie: risk if a tenant is not in) for $150 in cash flow is not ideal, now that I've got a clear picture of what's actually going on!

Buyers now need legal representation before they can see a property with an agent and commission will no longer be advertised (In the Greater Cincinnati market it will still be standard for sellers to pay buyer broker commission)I wanted to ask everyone who sees this, how are you changing anyway you are doing business (if you are)?

It seems that the tenants produced what we consider "sweatheart" leases signed days before the auction at below market rates.  

ITs a known marketing method and it works obviously. 

@Kevin Michel I'd work backwards from your skillset, amount of capital you have (or can raise), and the market you're interested in. 

Hey everyone,I'm new to real-estate so sorry for the likely dumb questions. This would be my very first rental.I have an opportunity to buy a house from an old neighbor for $425k. The zestimate shows $478k, however pr...

As a general rule, it's best to learn how to handle problems before they become problems. make a list of the potential problems you could face as a landlord: rent rates, marketing, collecting deposit, late rent, unpaid rent, abandoned rental, early lease termination, unauthorized pet, etc.

I came across an off market deal about 3 minutes from Youngstown State University, and wanted to hear other investor's opinion on the city.

I just use the comps but market activity also plays a factor.
