$24K Needed to Unlock Rent-Ready SFH in Indianapolis – 10–12% Return

San lorenzo, CA · Member since 2017 · 33 posts · 36 votes

Hi BiggerPockets Community,

I’m seeking a private lender or partner to help finalize a single-family rental property in Indianapolis, IN. The property is owned with a small existing mortgage, professionally managed, and nearly rent-ready — the only step left is installing a new HVAC system.

Property Details


  • Type: Single-Family Home

  • Management: Red Door Property Management (local, reputable firm)


  • Current Status: Needs HVAC install to meet rental standards

Funding Needed

Amount: $18,600 – $19,980 (licensed HVAC contractor estimates in hand)

Use of Funds: Complete HVAC installation so the property can be legally rented

Why This Opportunity?

✅ Strong rental demand in Indianapolis market

✅ Rent-ready after HVAC (minimal rehab risk)

✅ Property management already in place for tenant placement and ongoing operations

✅ Transparent terms, open to structuring win-win agreement

Investment Options (flexible):


  1. Short-Term Loan: Principal + 10–12% annualized interest, repaid within 12–24 months from rental income.


  2. Revenue Share: Share of monthly rental income until funds + profit are repaid.


  3. Equity Partner: Long-term partnership with shared rental income and appreciation.

Rental Income Potential


  • Market Rent: ~$1,200/month (based on comps in area)


  • Cash Flow: Positive after mortgage + management once HVAC is complete

If you’re interested, let’s connect. I can provide contractor bids, management agreement details, and comps for review.

Contact

Gregory Washington

Looking forward to partnering on a solid cash-flowing opportunity in Indianapolis!

@Gregory Washington $18-$20k for an HVAC system on a one-unit property?

Something is NOT adding up!

You're not disclosing:

Your ownership (doesn't appear to be an acquistion)
Property value
Current mortgage/lien balance
Collateral you're offering
Percentage of property ownership you're offering
Options if you default on terms you're offering

So, it appears you're a newbie.

Also going to guess you bought this to BRRR, but ran out of funds.
How did you run out of funds?
- Poor planning or unexpected surprises during renovations? 

You'll likely have more success peddling this to family & friends:)

    Ownership: I currently own 101 Monroe St. Purchased in 2018 for 49k.

    • Current Mortgage: None free and clear

    • Value: Based on comps in the area, ARV after HVAC is around 165k

    • Collateral: Willing to secure lender with a promissory note & recorded lien.

    • Use of Funds: Licensed contractor bids for HVAC replacement came in between $18.6K–$19.9K (full system, not just furnace).

    • Exit Plan: Once HVAC is installed, property is legally rentable and projected to generate ~$1,200/month. That covers mortgage + mgmt + reserves with room for debt service.

    • Why short on funds: unexpected Repairs due to poor tenant and tightened cash flow

    I’m open to short-term loan terms, and I want this to be win-win. Appreciate the pushback — it helps me refine this for serious investors.

    @Gregory Washington

    Sorry you are going through it. I’ll say that’s a lot for HVAC, but a bigger unit and the new 454 stuff is expensive.

    I’d keep looking and should be able to get a full system for 10k or less. If not though all the big people who advertise on the internet that charge high prices like this will offer financing. Don’t give up equity because your AC broke. Not worth it.
