@Dan Mahoney thanks for the reminder to update my profile

I wanted to see if there was anyone local to Purdue University that is involved buying or selling real estate.I am an electrician with backgrounds in mechanics and control systems(more information in my profile) and id be more than happy to share my skills in return for mentorship or just to network.Otherwise I was wondering if there are investors in this area (Tippacanoe and surrounding) that could shed some light on this area regarding how difficult it may be or areas to stay away from. 

If you are a new investor vet profiles and don't just network to network, network to get where you are trying to go.It frustrates me when I see people who have two investments worth $60,000 a piece that they bought in Mississippi giving investment advice, I could say the same about Realtors who don't own investments and have no idea how it works.

On another there's people with profiles that look very impressive yet they are on a forum all day worried about someone else and their business. 

You can connect a business profile and account to your personal Venmo account.Isn't easy and you still get all email alerts at your personal email.You can get a monthly statement though:)

But more important, I saw your USMC background when I went to your profile.  

Browse the forum, see who and how answers questions, find people you want to work with and send them a PM. 

We can stream off 3 TV's and browse the internet on the 12mb.So if you can get 100mb or so for significantly less, then I would do that.Now it will be different if you offer a working vacation options, then more would be better.

High profile locations with investment grade credit tenants or strong private credit if available. 5% preferred return annually plus splitting of cash flow over that mark.

The faster I finish the project, the sooner I can sell the property or, if I plan to keep it, the sooner I can get tenants in there.Now, if I'm adding square footage (i.e. a room, a bathroom, etc.) or if I'm adding something like a pool, then yes,  I will get a permit BECAUSE I want the additions to be added to the property profile.
