 Hello Andrew,

that is indeed a good option. I will come to Philly in October and certainly will check that way.

BTW, is there any RE event happening in the first week of October in or around Philly?

 Dean,

thanks for the input. I just will not leave any stone unturned.

Hello all,

here comes a real challenge and I hope you can help.

I live in work in Europe with plan to invest in US.

After good research I know where and what to buy. The last problem I want solve is to find a way to finance part of the properties (50%) via a mortgage or lean with max 5% interest rate. So far I only have seen offer starting from 7%. All above 5% damages the caprate too much. 

Any creative idea?

Thx Andreas

@Andreas F. Indianapolis is a very good cash flow market with a strong and diverse economy, however, you have to be very careful of what area you're buying in. Indy varies neighborhood to neighborhood and you have to know what areas will give you a good return. I would stay out of areas with rents of less than $750/mth. I did a webinar on the Indianapolis market recently. I'd be happy to share a link to the recording if you'd like.

 Thx Mike. I  sent you a message to follow up. Best, Andreas

 Hello Jerry,

thanks for the feedback. I just started to look into Indi as a city. What locations would your recommend?
