Indianapolis is a great market to get started in with affordable pricing.

Try and use a small Local Bank, or even a Credit Union for any Loans.

During my research, I’ve come across some local regulations that could potentially impact my plans.

I think building an off-market pipeline will be more important coming up than ever because of the change.

Feedback good and bad will definitely be prevalent within your local RE community.  

I think you need to challenge the person in charge-both the PM (and if they truly bought it for $100K less than market value, report them) and the person she has in charge of her finances. 

I would have a local person whether it's you or a management service.

And they are local!

It's finally calming down with more listings on the market, and buyers settling down, no longer panicking and needing to jump the second one hits the market.

I see a lot of people say they want to go local, and while I understand the sentiment, one of the biggest myths I see perpetuated in lending, or insurance, or appraisers, etc. is that local is better.
