Done right, multifamily properties can be an excellence source for passive income retirement investing.

Indianapolis is the fastest appreciating market in the Midwest and the 15th most affordable metro area in the US. 

I buy only when I find or am able to negotiate a good to excellent price, i.e., under “market” by a good amount, or property that has some extra kicker where the chances of appreciation in price are significantly greater than the general real estate economy.  

Compare my results to the numbers provided by whichever site I'm looking at.I included a screenshot of my makeshift excel sheet I'm using...Property is in PA.Monthly rent is included in the listing.

This was an excellent introduction to the BP forum.

I am just starting off wholesaling and I got an interested seller who said that his property is in excellent condition and he is willing to sell if the price is right.

Others are willing to take on less operational risk to work with a sponsor whose track record speaks for itself :)And then there are those operators with less operational risk who have excellent full cycle track records who do not charge exorbitant rates akin to highway robbery.

If the properties are in excellent condition they may be worth closer to the asking price... esp. if it means higher rent.I think the seller has just inflated the price to give them some wiggle room - certainly not the first time :D

South Dakota here- Rapid City area specifically slated for much growth (fastest growing city in the Midwest!)

So now the market is correcting the prices are rising, the margins are narrowing and the winners in STR will be those who excel at management, marketing and value add.
