As someone who works with out-of-state investors in the Indianapolis market, I can tell you that a 6-week vacancy with little to no communication is definitely a red flag, especially if the property is in rentable condition or only needs light work.A typical turnaround timeline (from vacancy to re-listing) should be about:1–2 weeks for basic cleaning, painting, and minor repairs1 week or less to professionally list, market, and begin showingsAnother 1–2 weeks to screen and place a qualified tenantSo, unless there are major renovations or permit delays, anything beyond 3–4 weeks without a solid plan or update is worth a closer look.It might be time to start exploring other property managers, especially one who can be transparent, responsive, and proactive in getting your asset performing again.If you’d like, I’m happy to take a look at the property and give you a free turn-key assessment and market rent analysis so you can make a more informed decision moving forward—no pressure at all.Wishing you the best with the next steps!

I would write $10k flat fee into the offer for a property at this price point, as that is the lowest amount that it makes sense for me to do a transaction with all of my expenses and time accounted for.

That said, there are trade-offs: the inspection and approval process can be slow and delay rent payments, tenant quality varies so screening is still crucial, and rent limits can change year to year.

Furnished Finder is the top platform for low commission (flat annual fee), while Airbnb can work too if targeting 30+ day stays—just watch the fees.

I am going to try using a flat fee MLS service for the next flip as realtor commission is very high in my area.

Whether a state is landlord friendly or not, you still have to do your due diligence when screening tenants.

You want to vet them & screen them in order to protect your money & ensure you get it back.5.
