If you WERE willing to drive 90 minutes each way, I'd strongly suggest looking at Valpo instead. 

Some people are strongly motivated to sell their house quickly and can't/won't spend the time/money/effort to go through the steps to list their house. 

My net worth and liquidity cash position are both strong.

All real assets have investing dynamics of cashflow, appreciation, tax favor, and debt pay down (if leveraged), so if you are looking at an asset that has VERY strong cashflow but lower appreciation, you'll simply want to know that going in and compare it to how another asset that DOES appreciate would perform.In my market there is usually a direct correlation to cashflow and appreciation.  

We are looking at a 4plex in a strong C area.

We strongly believe networking is an essential part of delivering on these promises.

Multi members are still pretty strong. 

Renting it out and taking a small loss to payoff the mortgage is a slow and shaky way to build equity, unless you have strong steady cash flow coming from elsewhere.

Not sure if that is a strong enough strategy.

@Falgun Chokshi I know Spencer and the team at gkhouses has a very strong presence in three of the markets you’re interested in.
