@Mike D'Arrigo A couple quick questions....I'm in several markets in the mid-west/mid-south and have been looking to get into Indy for some time but can't seem to crack it...even though I've been there numerous times and have family there. 

Check out We Close Notes web site for more info.Of course there are numerous articles here on BP and YouTube videos that are worth reading/viewing as well as several other note investors who offer educational material.

In fact I've done it numerous times!

As far as bum, in my numerous visits in the property..

I have been studying RE investing for some time (numerous books, videos, meetups, etc) and I am completely hooked.

I would like to pose the question from a different angle: What are the numerous factors that can lead to an overall decline in real estate market?

It seemed like a common theme, for people that were just getting started, to stress about having read so many books and listening to numerous podcasts and still do not know where to begin. 

I know there are numerous financing options available and I'm curious what the BP community has to say about this situation. 

Home Depot is good about dealing with this, Lowes less so, and some vendors just won't do it.Yes, being a fix and flipper brings on numerous business requirements. 

I know, numerically, it’s the right direction but are there any reasons to stay in the lower end market?
