Fort Wayne, IN - Submarkets advice and Building a team

Fort Wayne, IN - Submarkets advice and Building a team

Member since 2024 · 18 posts · 9 votes

Hi BP community,

I recently had my mind set on investing in Fort Wayne, Indiana from out of state. This will be my first investment so definitely appreciate any advice or help in general! 

I haven't seen many Fort Wayne discussion on BP. I wonder anyone familiar with the market could give me some intro/breakdown on the submarkets neighborhood?

My hope is to buy in B- to A- area, prefer a small 2-4 unit (they don't seem to be very easy to find). SFR with positive cashflow would work too.

It doesn't have to be, but I m curious how new construction is in Fort Wayne as well. I don't see a lot of them, at least on the open zillow/redfin sites. I wonder anyone have any thoughts/experience on new construction in that market? 

I'm mostly interested in buy and hold for my first investment. LTR is good, but would like to explore MTR as well. 

Last but most importantly, I would love to start building a team and connect with Realtors, Property manages and investors, appreciate recommendations! 

Thank you, 
Shawn
