Recommendations for investor-friendly agent in Indianapolis, IN

Rental Property Investor · San Francisco Bay Area · Member since 2019 · 7 posts · 4 votes

Hi All

I am interested in purchasing my next multi-family in Indianapolis. I am willing to do a bit of rehab if my agent can recommend a reliable contractor out there as well as a property manager. I have done research in the area but have not purchased anything myself as I primarily invest in Detroit, MI and am looking to expand into other markets. Can anyone recommend an investor-friendly agent (bonus if they can also analyze deals)?

Be careful asking for investor-friendly agents!

+95% of agents only have experience dealing with owner-occupied transactions - which are mostly EMOTIONAL decision based.

An investor wants an agent that sticks to logical numbers like ROI, Cash-on-Cash, etc.

You can differentiate between these different types of agents easily by asking them:

1) If they are RE investors themselves.
--Many will say yes, so ask them for proof! They should be able to send you an address of a rental they own.

2) If they plan on sharing a BP Calculator sheet for each and every property they send you.
--Many will state that's your job, but then what value are they truly offering as an "investor-friendly" agent?

The more questions and request for proof you ask, the better!

David, as you have probably seen the Indy Market is very fruitful! It's important to find someone that has a grasp of the areas and connections with the contractors as well!

Hey there. My wife and I are new to Indianapolis, but we're getting into investing now. We're closing our first fixer at the end of this month, and might be closing on another a few weeks later.

We are using Beau Matlock. I really cannot speak highly enough about him. He seems to be well connected and has an extensive client base.
My wife and I have bought and sold a few homes now, and have dealt with a handful of agents...Beau is absolutely stellar.

Feel free to reach out and can give some recommendations on agents and PMs here in the market.
TOTALLY biased here - but Off Leash Construction is the best construction company in the region! :)

Beau is definitely one of the good ones!

@David Ning As someone who has been working the Indianapolis market and surrounding areas for the past 14 of my 20 years. I have seen the good and the bad, I have watched some of the biggest names here in Indy get started and have helped most of them in some form or fashion.

Do not get sucked into these people commenting or messaging you about "How great the Indy market is and how they can help you." Most of them wouldn't know what an investment property is if it fell on top of them. It is important to have the right but knowledgeable/experienced team in place.

I recommend Off Leash Construction and @Nick Giulioni team. Nick moved here from California and has built a successful Real Estate business. He knows exactly what it is like to invest from out of state.

If you would like to talk further feel free to DM me. I will be more than happy to provide you with other names or contacts. The Indy RE market is a market or investors, lenders, agents, etc and we all either know each other or we know of one another.

Disclosure - Off Leash Construction is one of my clients.

Following this thread! I’m a new investor working with a mentor and have started looking in the Indianapolis area for out-of-state deals. Looking to fix and flip to save for a decent down payment on my first Airbnb rental. I’m in California, just learning about out-of-state markets like Indianapolis being a good place to start.

btw - I’ve saved some of these recommendations and am actively looking in Indianapolis. Thank you!
