    Being OTR actually makes your situation a little different than most wholesalers. The challenge probably isn't finding opportunities—it's building a process that still works when you're hundreds of miles away.

    I'd be thinking less about finding more deals and more about building a local team you trust to look at properties when you can't. One reliable set of eyes on the ground is usually worth a lot more than another list of addresses.

    Are you planning to source everything remotely while you're driving, or are you hoping to spend part of the week back in Indy meeting sellers?

    Marion County is a good market to start in. The absentee owner lists are saturated though, so most people working Indy are hitting the same doors. Court-level filings like probate and pre-foreclosure tend to surface motivated sellers before they hit any list. Worth layering that in early.

    Hey Arthur,

    It’s realistic, but you’ll need to be intentional because being OTR limits how fast you can respond and physically evaluate deals.

    I’d start by building 3 things at the same time: (1) an investor-friendly agent who can send you live deals and comps, (2) a small buyers list early so you know what actually moves in your target price points, and (3) a boots-on-the-ground contact (could be a contractor, inspector, or even another investor) who can do quick walkthroughs for you.

    Since you’re on the road, I’d also set up a simple system: deal intake form, quick underwriting template, and a hard rule that nothing moves forward without someone physically confirming condition. That structure will save you from chasing bad paper deals.

    Hope that helps! My DMs are always open if you want to connect.

    Welcome, Arthur! Truck driving and wholesaling can actually be a great combination if you stay consistent. Since you're focused on Indy, what's your game plan right now? Are you looking to wholesale virtually while you're on the road, or are you planning to build a local team there?

    Welcome, Arthur.

    One thing that's helped a lot of new investors is focusing on building relationships with active buyers while developing a consistent lead generation process at the same time.

    Out of curiosity, are you planning to generate most of your opportunities through cold calling, driving for dollars, direct mail, or are you still deciding which acquisition strategy to focus on?

    Arthur, being OTR is actually an advantage for the sourcing side — and Carson already pointed you in the right direction with Marion County court filings. Let me build on that specifically.

    The play for a truck driver who can't drive for dollars: Marion County has 3 publicly searchable databases that most Indy wholesalers aren't cross-referencing:

    1. Marion County Tax Collector — tax delinquent lists. The county already identified owners who can't pay their property taxes. You can pull this from anywhere with a laptop.

    2. Marion County Code Enforcement — open violations with dollar-amount repair costs documented by county inspectors. This is your underwriting — you know the scope of distress before you call the owner.

    3. Marion County Clerk of Court — probate and pre-foreclosure filings (exactly what Carson flagged). These surface before any marketing list.

    Cross-reference all three on the same property = converged distress. Owner behind on taxes + code violations with documented repair costs + probate filing = highest-probability motivated seller. And you found them for $0 — no postcards, no cold calling software, no paid lead lists.

    The OTR workflow: pull the lists from the road during downtime. Cross-reference to find the 10-15 converged properties. When you're back in Indy, drive by those specific addresses — not random neighborhoods. Then have Kerry or another local contact do the physical walkthrough.

    Sara Joe asked about your acquisition strategy — this is one that costs nothing and works from a phone screen. The county already built the list. You just need to read it.
