Looking for Real Estate Market Knowledge in Indiana

[Josh Levan]

Hi, I'm new to real estate investing and looking to gain some market knowledge on a few different areas in Indiana. I'm looking to target multi-family and apartment properties in areas such as South Bend, Fort Wayne, and Indianapolis. Would love to get some feedback from anyone who currently lives in these area or has investment properties there.

I'd like to start by acquiring any insight into current supply trends in these areas, as well as the demand based on occupancy for these types of properties. Are these currently good markets to begin looking into for a first time investor? Side note, I do have a lot of friends and family in these areas so I am knowledgeable of the areas and do have boots on the ground to help out where needed. But obviously looking to gain knowledge from an investment perspective. 

Thanks in advance for all the help and insight!

I own 25 rentals around South Bend  (and surrounding cities).  The rental market here is very strong.  We add a few more each year and intend to continue doing so.  I will message you in case you want to talk off line.
