New member looking to learn lots and network!

[Homero Matzenbacher]

Hello Everyone, 

My name is Homero I am a student at IU Kelley School of Business studying finance. I am looking to get into the real estate game early and learn as much as possible, especially about house hacking and possibly short-term rentals. I am looking to buy my first property in the Indianapolis metropolitan area, by the summer of next year or even sooner if a good deal comes my way! If anyone has good recommendations on how to start learning how to analyze deals to see if they would be worth it please leave a comment down below. Great to be here!

Welcome, Homero! It’s fantastic that you’re getting into real estate early. House hacking and short-term rentals are excellent strategies to consider, especially in a growing market like Indianapolis. Analyzing deals can feel overwhelming at first, but with your finance background, you’ll catch on quickly! Start by learning basic metrics like cash-on-cash return and cap rate, and check out resources that dive into rental market analysis. You’re in the right place to ask questions and connect with experienced investors. Looking forward to seeing your journey unfold!
