Definitely worth looking around for in-person events because there doesn't seem to be a lot of activity here on BP for the SLO area.

Here's a short synopsis on Indy investing (as a realtor with 150+ transactions & 12 doors in personal portfolio): - Indianapolis has all the right metrics for a stable investment: average appreciation 3-5% per year, consistent population growth, low unemployment, highest % of GDP growth last 5 years of any Midwest city. - Indianapolis is VERY competitive in the fixer-upper & multifamily realms.

I would love to do one where its like speed dating you get to spend 5 minutes with each person that shows up and connect.

I keep hearing by now and refinance later, the truth is much muddier. 

Keep in mind there are brokers/placement firms  out there who can serve as a conduit to the family offices, pension funds and insurance companies and the cost of those placement services are going to be significantly less than the amount of effort and expense that goes into the this new breed of syndicator.

Would you be a complainer if your AC didn’t work in your personal residence?

Keep up with local foreclosure auction schedules and market trends, regularly watching auctions and monitoring pre-foreclosure listings to identify potential deals early.

But, just be sure to keep your personal investment goals in mind...because ultimately a lender does not get paid unless they, essentially, help you acquire a loan.Honestly...personally, depending on exactly where my investors are in their investment journeys...I typically recommend exploring the financing route.

If I were doing this, I would visit every contractor space for rent personally in my car Within so many miles of the intended project.

I have 2 properties that are currently rented by section 8 tenants, like Brian said, the key is keeping on top of things that may result in bigger problems in the future.
