Changed the ceiling in a bedroom that was flat and pooling water, electrical, pex plumbing, roof, central A/C added, new drywall in about 70% of the home and restructured the living space to give an open concept dining/living area as well as create a 3rd bedroom.

This guy has money to drink beer, smoke cigarettes, and watch his flat screen TV, but he doesn't have the time or respect for his neighbors to pick up his own trash?

A lot of the properties I’m seeing, mostly only two flats available, either don’t cash flow or require massive renovations.

Just had a buyer close a 3.6% last friday on 400k 4 flat 25 down non occupant and they locked it in before rates ticked down a little last week. 

The two main reasons I am here are to get an idea of the mindset and opinions of investors and landlords and to provide the viewpoint of the other side or the issue Which I think far too often get sort of swept under the rug if not flat out ignored. 

You turn the stove on, but you don't need to sit for an hour and bake cookies.

In general, do landlords simply provide the housing and get paid a flat rate by the organization/institution responsible for managing the tenants, or is the landlord’s income based on vacancy?

Do I just flat out ask each realtor what their commission is?

This is from a previous post, but I'm going to include it here as it does contain some area specific info- areas within Indy to look into if you're even remotely considering Indianapolis;Indianapolis has been at the top of the list for many investors historically speaking dues to being a flat market (pretty much the opposite of TX right now in reactive real estate as people flock in groves from CA realizing work from home could be here to stay & want lower tax rates/cost of living) and perks like cheaper purchase price point and lower tax rates (Marion Co for example just above 1% {for comparison NJ is right around 2.49%} ).Right now TX and Vegas among other areas are really seeing some hot activity - but this is more reactive and not what a more truly flat market like Indy does.When you first look into Indianapolis there's likely going to be a lot of info or posts about Fountain Square- I wanted to touch base on this first and say from the start- FS was BOOMING not that long ago- one of the main reasons being that the numbers here made a lot of sense (I'm talking about purchase price point here mainly) now as most home owners do, they've seen a lot of neighborhood changes, and in most cases talked to neighbors that have gotten "X amount" for their home and the natural thought of "What could I sell for now too??"
