Ask a local professional.I hear u .Either I settle or go to court on the 17 of January.

Buy and holding is the best way to building financial freedom.

@Paloma Wodehouse I started by going to Housing Court sessions and hearing the Cases and their "Dispensation of Justice".

If a person owns a rental property in IN and if something happens on that property, the cause of action (lawsuit) would go before a court in IN, with an IN judge, citing IN law.

My goal is to have financial freedom so I can eventually quit my 9-5 job and use my time to spend with family and do things that excite me.

Now it's an out of control machine with a lot of financial incestuous relationship in the tupperware farm.I like your analogy.

@Kris Lou Be careful with agents as 95%+ of them really only know how to handle owner-occupied transactions.We don't do biz in Indianapolis, so this is unbiased info we hope you find useful:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

If not, then assuming that someone is in a financial situation that can afford a potential mishap, then would you say that BRRR is hands down the way to go, or am I missing something?

Also, I'm stuck with out-of-state investing which brings a whole series of risks with minimized financial upside (in my opinion)
