Curious but are you referring to Valparaiso Indiana, Chile, or otherwise?  The reason I ask is I am surprised to hear about your Tennant issues in this market.  Unless you have some section 8 designations I've always seen the Valpo rental market as more stable then your experiences.  Thank you for the share and I certainly wish you best of luck.

Good Morning BP friends. Heres my dilemma. There is a multi family property on the MLS that I am sweet on. I have analyzed it over and over and to me it could be a good deal that cash flows well, if bought at the right price. The problem is I won't have the funds to secure traditional financing for another 7 weeks. It has been on the market for 144 days as of me writing this. The current owners do own it outright and would be interested in seller financing, however, I still don't have the capitol for a down payment. I don't want to hold out and see if it will still be available. I'd love any feedback or ideas you super smart people have. Thanks in advance!

@Jim C. Jim, thanks for the reply my friend! Yes I am interested in B&H primarily. It sounds like you’ve got it figured out! I appreciate your willingness to lend some of your advise or expierence. If you would be so kind as to send me an email I’d love to start a dialog with you about what I hope to accomplish and how. Hmm turns out it won’t let me post an email....

Every time I search NWI (northwest Indiana) I don’t see much, save for a couple of threads now years old. I know people are doing well In this region so why so quiet? I know Adrain is out there doing his wholesale thing and seems to be successful, but he is the only presence I’m really feeling. So here’s my idea for a fellow newbie or wannabe in our region. Let’s butt heads and see what we can up with. That’s right. Think of this as a classified ad. I know it’s hard for noobs to get in the game...I’m there myself. So I’d like to develop a local friendship (or two) clearly based on like minded interests.....making money though real estate....bet you guessed that didn’t you. A little about me. I’m 37...I’ve read all the books...watched all the videos...and now I’m ready to take actionable steps toward securing my future though REI. I can’t help but think how much more fun it would be not to have to do it alone. Let’s learn together....fail together...fail better together...and get rich together. ....just a thought.

@Rich Schmidt Well Rick I would love to throw my hat in that ring. I’m from the region but primarily in Valpo and would love to meet some locals who are doing what I want to be doing.

just fashionably late!

Thanks for the welcome brother 

quick question for you friendly welcoming folks. While yes I do aspire to be a realtor. Is it considered a conflict of interest to be a realtor and a real estate investor?  Are their laws in place to prevent such a thing?

Welcome to BP @Brandon Rainwater There are a lot of resources and helpful people here.  I am an investor in NWI and if I can help you out in any way just ask.

Thanks Paul. I just might take you up on that.  I really am excited get started in real estate and all the facets of it.  Has the market/region been good to you and your business?

I'm not a realtor. I wholesale and keep a handful as rentals. I'm a big fan of NWI. 

 That's fantastic Adrien. I'm sure you're a wealth of region specific real estate knowledge.  Mind if I ask how you got stated in the biz?

 Thank you Adrien!

Obviously we share a region connection and possibly a love for real estate. Has the market/region been good for your business?
