Hello, beginner real estate investor here! In 2020 I graduated from Indiana University of Bloomington with a Bachelor's degree in Nursing. Since graduating four years ago, I moved to Downtown Indianapolis and began my nursing career. Currently I view real estate investing (REI) as a method of generating additional income apart from my 9-5. However, my FUTURE plans with REI involve transitioning my primary income from nursing to REI. The main property investment strategies which interest me are STR, MTR, house hacking and flipping. The type of properties I'm searching for are single family ranches and multi-family 2-4 units. In view of the fact that I'm a newbie, complete home renovations seem out of my league (for now). In these early stages of learning and developing as an investor I'm primarily focused on properties that may require the following: paint, flooring, bathroom/kitchen remodel, drywall, light fixtures, exterior landscaping, siding, or new HVAC. In regards to capital I have options: FHA, private lender, tradiational, and I'm moderately liquid. As for where I'd like to buy I'm not sure... Wherever isn't going to give me a headache :).. I do however want to purchase something within Indianapolis or the surrounding areas: Greenwood, Avon, Carmel, Plainfield etc.
