I realized they were basically pushing the others to their max so they could swoop in and win it.And it didn’t stop there, one guy signaled his bids by shaking his leg, and another by tilting his glasses.

Of course some basic education is good like online courses or youtube, or biggerpockets or just plain ol' chatGPT.

So it's less like a curse and more like market forces in action, at least until people wise up (holding my breath starting now).And no it's not just Indy, you could replace Indy with a dozen other cities and it would be basically the same thing.

Originally I was also hoping to find a package that would do more of the property management basics for me, like running ads, screening tenants, collecting rent, collecting e-signatures, etc.What I found after months of looking is that there is no one-size-fits-all platform out there.

So, I'll give some details and what I might suggest knowing here:What you are describing is basically a BRRRR property.  

Besides some basic book keeping, or structure organization ., what advice from your CPA added value?

If you rented for $2800 and after expenses profited $2000 per month or $24k per year that would be a 4% CoC return basically on your $600k equity.

Both are basically just the same issues you'd have with any other property.

Better tenants are easier to manage and require very basic resources.Tenants with under 600 credit scores statistically require higher more resources to properly manage.One of the managers of Nomad responded on another thread that they are a tech-focused service and NOT personal service oriented.- I take that to mean they can handle Class A and most Class B tenants, but not Class B-, C or D tenants.They probably are also NOT a good match for owners expecting personal calls and hand-holding.

@Bo Smith yes I would use a property manager Background: the military gives a basic housing allowance (BAH) that is adjusted each year based on locality.
