Quote from @Alec Norman:

Hi Pam, 

I'm new to Indiana. I'm hoping to purchase a property in Indianapolis within the next year to live in for the short term and then turn into a rental. I'm currently waiting to get to know the area before making a purchase. 

First off, thank you for the information in the link. Second, I was wondering if we could connect so that I could get some more information regarding your thought on the best spots for a first property in Indianapolis.

Sure Alec.  I'll send you a message with all of my contact info.  I'd be glad to talk things over with you about Indy :-)

Hi Justin!  You are already in Indiana and that's our state.  Many BP investors come to Indy and you are already here.

Send me a DM and lmk what city you live in.  There are a lot of duplexes in Indianapolis to choose from.  Pam

Quote from @Brandon P.:

I had a tenant partially move out and the place has been broken into and vandalize she has not paid the last months rent what are my options?


 Hi Brandon.  Sorry to hear that---but it is not shocking!  Time to head to eviction court for non payment of rent...

I've been a RE Broker in Indy for 20 years.  Please send me a DM with the address.  Like Mike said in his reply, I'd like to know where it is and if we agree that it's a B area.  This stuff can happen in any area for sure.  Just as we can luck out and also get really nice tenants in the lower class areas.  Good luck and don't let it get you down :-)

Hi Ernesto.  I saw this old post when I was searching "Indianapolis".  I'd love to know if you were successful in starting a portfolio here.

I've been a real estate broker in Indy for 20 years.  So I always like hearing about how investors like their experience and the team that they chose!

Feel free to send me a DM.  Thanks!

Hello!

I'm a real estate broker in Indianapolis and many of our property management clients have also found this guide very helpful for beginning to learn the Indianapolis area.

The guide was authored by a Midwest investor, Sterling White.  He updated this version about a year ago.

https://www.biggerpockets.com/...

Please reach out to me if you have an interest in investing in the Central Indiana/Indianapolis area. I have 20 years experience as a RE Broker and also work with PMI Indianapolis Property Management. So we have the whole package to suit your needs.

**Please know that this is a "Guide"**

There will be pocket areas in all Indianapolis areas that may not correlate with the Guide.

All areas will have properties that are inferior or superior to what is shown on the map.

So as always, you will want to rely on a trusted, local, real estate or property management specialist for specific questions.  And/or trust your own research!

Hello Bhushan

I'm a real estate Broker in Indianapolis with 20 years experience. I'm investor friendly and closed about 75 properties last year.  With about half of them being off-market---and also some traditional deals.

PMI Indianapolis has a full team to cover every aspect of a deal. I can also put you in contact with our pm team and contractors so you can interview them.

I'd say that about 90% of my clients do not live here.  So I'm used to being the Boots-On-The-Ground for my clients.

Let me know how I can help

Pam

I would have no problem getting the rent on the 5th. Nor would I consider that "late". That's pretty good in the scheme of things in the tenant world :-)

Hi Kayla. Welcome to Indy!  

I specialize in working with investors, and I also find clients a good house hack.  I've worked with investment properties for 20 years and I would be glad to show you around Indy sometime.  

I closed over 75 properties last year and I just joined BiggerPockets.  So I'm a new member to this site---but not new to investment RE!!
