In my relative short time on BP, I've found it to be extremely useful and beneficial to set keyword search alerts for "Indianapolis" and you'll start to see who the main players in the Indianapolis market are and a good way to identify potential individuals you may want to further connect with.  

Much of the information on this site is about how to obtain rental property while minimizing the amount of your own personal cash you invest in it, however they key word there is "minimize".

Setup a keyword search for the markets you are interested in.

I recommend setting up keyword alerts for each area as they are discussed in the forums daily with advertisements posted in the BiggerPockets marketplace hourly.One thing to note when looking at the individual markets, you can make or loose money in any market.
