Hey everyone!  I couldn't honestly call myself a newbie....I've been "investing" for over 18 years. In 2005 I was able to leverage the equity from the sell of a rental property to start my current business.  That was probably one of the best moves I ever made.  Then 2007-2008 hit and my real estate investing strategy (equity appreciation only) failed me, and I lost all but my primary residence. 

So after swearing off real estate for several years, I'm back and more "educated" than ever.

I'm starting to invest in Indianapolis.   I've invested out of state before and while it has its challenges, I enjoyed it.  I am still working on building my team in Indy and looking for good contractors and  realtors. My main objective is to turn good deals quickly (is this possible without doing major rehab?) and then find Great deals and hold.  Totally open to JVs and or other opportunities.   Work well with others and I feel collaboration is always more beneficial than competition.

My other job when I'm not investing and running a large-scale business is that of a wife of a police officer, mom of two awesome sons, backyard chicken farmer and city beekeeper.  We travel quite a bit now, and we are just loving life.  

My favorite saying, "Great things never came from Comfort Zones."

Looking forward to meeting ALL of you!!!  

Cheers, 

Makenzie
