Good morning,

Since I am new to this site and real estate investing, I have a few questions in regards to where to find authentic and valid sources for finding out information such as:

1. Rental listing to tenant occupation times.

2. Number of renters looking for rent vs. the number of homes available

3. Statistics in regards to rental properties

4. Gentrification, revitalization, and new construction projects in the area

5. Rental pricing forecasts

 6. Other suggested pertinent information

Or at least some guidance in regards to being pointed in the right direction in regards to these and I appreciate the assistance.

Good evening, everyone,

My name is Chris and I am new to the forum. I would just like to write a quick introduction about myself: I am 31, single, no family, I work in Underwriting, a former and still licensed Flight Instructor, and a current law student. I am interested in acquiring investment buy-and-hold rental Single family homes or multi-family units in the Indianapolis or Fort Wayne area. I am from southern California and it will be my first time acquiring any properties for investment purposes.

I will actually be visiting the area with my parents 11/23 - 11/26 and will be glad to meet with any lenders, investment specialists, sales agents, property managers, on here from the area, who is knowledgeable and helpful in regards to first time investor needs and interests.

Since I am new on here, I am looking for any general tips, suggestions, links, and directions on this site on where I can find more useful information in attaining my goals.

Thank you in advance and I wish everyone the best.

Chris
