New guy in Indianapolis, IN
Hi folks!
I'm just starting out in the Indy market. I'm new to real estate investing and I'm trying to come up to speed quickly.
I was briefly (disastrously) a real estate agent in Seattle in the late '90s. (I was young and dumb. Now I'm old. Still dumb, but now I sometimes *know* when I'm being dumb. Sometimes.)
I'm considering getting my license again, although with an eye toward rehabbing this time around. I'm interested in the potential commission savings, but what I really want is access to the data. Ultimately, I'd like to build up enough of a cash base to buy and hold, while rehabbing more as a side project.
I come from a project management and data analytics background, and I'd love to leverage that in investing.
Looking forward to being part of the community!

Welcome @Bradley Lyons!
I agree with Erin, find yourself an investor friendly agent to work with. I worked a full time job and got my license to help out with saving commissions and so I didn't have to rely on scheduling times with an agent to view properties. I found out the long way that financially it is not worth it, but luckily, I enjoy it so much and have gained myself a few investor clients along the way that I left my job to do this full time.
