I’m new to this, I am in the middle of purchasing three deals at one time I am just looking for a meet up group to help mentor and trade ideas in South Louisiana.

I am a local investor and wholesaler in Indianapolis and I am constantly looking for deals in all parts of the Indy Metro area. 

Jobs, Amazon is expanding, Volkswagen has their first fully electric vehicle plant right near one of my duplexes.

I currently work at a hospital in Georgia from my home, but my goal is to be a RE investor full-time in the near future.

the main thing to look out for is if they are constantly going there for repairs, where i invest has houses about the same age and usually the 1st thing i do when i buy them is replace mechanical s, those are always the things that give you the most trouble, then you do not have to worry about them for at least 12 years. it is probably any extra maintenance killing your profit.

This has turned my efforts into NWI, specifically near the border below and in Hammond Indiana (near merrillville, highland, Munster, Griffith, Dyer ect...) are these areas good for buy and holds long term in terms of obtaining tenants and keeping them long term?

Conservatively speaking, we should have $8k per month to invest.We live in the Midwest, near Wichita, Kansas. 

It also does well near hospitals and universities, which tend to bring on temporary staff or relocate professors or doctors to the area.

@Matthew KostelicIt is your responsibility to check the property taxes.It is your responsibility to research what the property taxes will be, what insurance will be. it is your responsibility to determine from the home inspection report what will need to be repaired in the near future and what repairs can wait.

I remember a time when we had a nice condo in the suburbs with very nice berber carpet that had a stain near the entryway.
