Hello BP community! My name is Phil Murray. I'm currently living in Crown Point Indiana and hope to invest in surrounding Northwest Indiana (Hobart, Merrillville, Portage, Lake Station) and maybe eventually the South West suburbs of Chicago.
I'm mostly interested in flipping single family homes and purchasing smaller multi families. I'm planning to keep my day job and probably look to partner with friends and maybe cabl dabble in some hard money. I've been consuming alot of the BP podcast which has made me feel alot better about not having a ton of money to start. I have relationships with realtors, lenders, and contractors as i used to work for Menards designing kitchens and a realtor for a couple years.
I'm hoping to connect with some experienced folks in Northwest Indiana and here on BP to learn and build relationships.

Hi Scott! Thanks for reaching out with the post and message! As I get rolling here I'm sureI'll be reaching out for advice and insights. Maybe I can buy you lunch or something!
@Philip Murray, welcome! I'm fairly new also and have started investing in Northwest Indiana, specifically Gary so far. I'm focused on buy & hold, but open to other aspects as opportunities are found. I just finished up a light rehab on a rental and now looking for contractors for my third project, a more involved rehab on a duplex. If you want to talk about some investing and ideas, hit me up. Good luck to you!

Thanks Ray. Im sure I'll reach out soon to connect. I have alwayshad interest in rentals in Gary because of the high number of renters, so we can definitely chat.
Hi- welcome to BP. Great place to learn and meet folks. There are also a few local investor groups you should go to- one in Merrillville and one in Highland. I run the largest wholesaling company in NWI- Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
if you're looking to meet other investors in the area, also look into NICIA. They meet in Merrillville every month, actually they meet tonight, so it may be a bit late to get to this months meeting. There are many there that are doing just what you are talking about.
Hey Philip Murray as others have already stated, welcome to BP. This is the best site for networking with other investors throughout the country as well as in your own backyard. I’m actually next door to you in Merrillville. If you are interested, I’d be up for grabbing lunch or something and seeing if we can work together in some capacity.
Phil, would love to help get you started. I own 13 properties myself, most in NWI and I'm a licensed broker in both IN and IL. Reach out and lets connect and see if we can get you your first deal.
