Greetings, 

My name is Malachi Dodge, I am a recent college graduate working as a financial planner.  My wife and I are highly interested in real estate, we are thinking our first purchase will be a duplex or triplex in the Indianapolis area.  We are interested in house hacking, buy and hold and flipping. 

I'm actively looking for experienced investors in Fort Wayne and Indianapolis to meet and network with.  I love coffee and conversation!  I tend to be in both cities fairly frequently. 

Looking forward to meeting everyone I can!

    @Malachi DodgeNice to have you on the site!  Some of my family live in Marion. You might have noticed the 130 ft flag raised recently. That would be my brother.  Feel free to call me anytime!

    Hi Malachi.

    There is a lot of opportunity in Indianapolis to invest.  We have been one of the most affordable housing marketing in the nation, years running.  There are quite a few duplexes, too.  I've owned some myself, and they are great for cash flow!

    That's great to hear @Beverly Fast Sinclair !  As my wife and I have begun doing research in the area we have picked up that it's great for cash flow properties, which is exactly where we want to be!

    @Michael Thompson, small world!  Expect a phone call!  I am always looking to sit down with new people and I am down in Indianapolis on business all the time.  What company is your brother a part of here?

    @Malachi Dodge- It used to be CVS Satellite Systems.  Now it's known as The Collins Group.  It's diagonal from Dairy Queen.
