I currently live in NJ and looking to purchase a rental property in Indiana.

I currently live in North Jersey and it is near impossible to get started on investing in real estate here. At least with my current income. I have been looking into the Midwest/Landlord friendly states and settled on investing in Indiana. My goal is to have monthly positive cash flow and long term appreciation. I do not have 6 figures in capital to invest but I have a decent amount. I am visiting Fort Wayne, Indiana next month to scope out the city and look at some potential multi family investments. I have been reading several books and listening to many podcasts on real estate. 

What are your opinions on Fort Wayne, Indiana? 

Do you recommend partnering up instead as a rookie investor? If so, where do you recommend networking with other highly motivated investors? 

I am a highly motivated rookie and any tips will be greatly appreciated!
