BiggerPockets

Hi all,

I've been reading on the site for awhile, but just now joined. I'm getting started in investing on my own, but I grew up around real estate my whole life. My dad was a small-time investor in the St. Louis area while I was growing up so I got pretty used to the business and some late-night calls.

I have a duplex in Bloomington, IN that I've occupied one side for 2.5 years and just bought a duplex on the east-side of Indy in Irvington that needs rehab, that I'll be moving into. I hope to gain quite a bit of momentum by doubling my unit count and keep building from here.

Welcome to the site, @Anthony G, and congrats on taking action in building your business. @Kevin Kaczmarek is a fantastic resource, so be sure to take him up on his offer.

Good luck and we'll see you around the site.

BTW - Please fill in your profile and upload a personal avatar so we can better get to know you.

Hi Anthony. I am living in Bloomington right now as well and also have a duplex on the east side of Indy. If have questions about fixing up the duplex feel free to ask me, I can recommend some contractors as well if you are interested.

Hi Anthony,
Welcome to BP.
I have a 4-plex in Indy but am also interested in Bloomington.
My oldest son will probably be transferring to IU for his senior year and Grad school this fall.
What are your goals for Bloomington and Indy?

Hi Anthony,
I will evaluate all of the options for my Son starting with looking for a property to purchase. He does not want to live in the dorm so my guess is that housing will be cheaper to purchase than to rent but we will evaluate those options as we get closer.
He wants me to go with him in March to take a visit during his spring break from IPFW.
Good luck to you.
Chris
