Hi BiggerPockets Community,I've been searching for a comprehensive real estate investment calculator that includes depreciation and offers a full range of investment metrics.

In the meantime, I am trying to better understand the Indianapolis (Fishers, Carmel) real estate market and considering getting a realtors license.In Indiana, the cost for the real estate licensing course is approximately ~$580 and an additional ~$80 annually to maintain.

Both structures are treated as investment real estate and subject to the same issues as a sole ownership rental property. 

Hi @Thuy Pham-Satrappe I work for Open Door as a Real Estate broker and property manager in Fort Wayne.

Hi Kevin,I am an investor not a real estate agent, but I seek agents that work with investors and invest themselves.

I'm Logan Cooper from Hampton Roads, Virginia, passionate about real estate investing for the past 2 years.

If it is seller financed, you have no real estate agent fiduciary protection, so it is up to you to protect yourself.After all that, then, yes, work with an attorney on how you hope to close, LLC, trust, or in your name. 

For example a real estate agent may only be paid when a commission is earned.

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) commercial investment investment in Sumter.
