(get a home inspection the first few times and shadow the inspector to learn what to look for.)KNOW your area like the back of your hand!

I live in chesterton during the week and Indianapolis on the weekends.

The first man I talked to told me to go down to buy a construction permit, then they could have an inspector come to see it.

Also make sure you have a good inspector.

In my home market of Indianapolis, nobody stages a house.

An inspector and/or good property manager can tell you this.

I haven't bought any more properties down here because we are planning to move to Indianapolis next year to be closer to our family, and our roots.Let me tell you, when you love searching the listings as I have for the past few years, and you start researching a new market like Indy, it's like a kid in a candy shop!

In my very breif, dissatisfying stent with this company I wittnessed unlicensed subcontractors do such substandard and sloppy work that I had to call the building inspectors of the cities, county, and state that I was working in to speak my mind as to the activities of this awfull company.

Yes it does.Me: Hey Joe (home inspector), wanna tell us whats going on here?

Indianapolis (one of the cities that Jeff Schnitter's foreclosure bootcamp is taught in) I believe has actually hit the bottom (or close to it).
