We are in the STR Zone, and the goal (if possible) is to get the project complete before 2026 Fifa world cup. do STR for 2026 and start long term renters after.

Most in CA that are just starting out often  look to cheaper markets.  

Hey Everybody,I am trying to get started doing BRRRs in northwest Indiana, but I have never done a BRRR before.

This will give you a good start to figure out how you can do with one.You can also check out https://www.awning.com/airbnb-estimator and run some addresses to get an even better idea.
