I’d connect with as many Indiana operators as you can, but also start keeping notes on the actual operating side now: rent assumptions vs. reality, vacancy, maintenance, utilities, tenant friction, and what surprised you. That operating history becomes incredibly valuable by the time you’re looking at house hack #2.
We spend a lot of time thinking about exactly that layer — turning what happens on one property into better decisions on the next one.
