KristopherThe best way to build relationships on bigger pockets is to answer forum questions in your area of expertise, and make a sincere effort to help others.

I have already discovered they don't answer their phone, don't have website account access and don't take credit cards.  

To answer your question, I had picked Indianapolis to look into further based on my analysis. 

There are many agents out there, but it’s important to choose the right one.https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/5868/52724-im-new-to-investing-how-do-i-find-an-investor-friendly-agentI love answering questions if you have any!

Happy to connect and answer any questions you may have.

I find people myself (after calling lots of numbers where no one answers), have good initial conversations, and then they don't show up.

Over time, you'll be able to answer questions and you'll learn a lot from looking at answers from others.

This is a lot harder question to answer than you would expect.
