Best (and Worst) Areas to Invest in Indy

If you haven’t heard we just dropped a new 15-min “internal / boys-only'“ podcast summing up the Indy Investor Map updates for mid-2025.

Some high-level updates for you before I give you that plug to watch/listen to the episode…

The rate descent has begun.

The rate descent has begun.

➡️ Rates are on the decline. We are heading towards sub-6’s reality. Soon.

➡️ Indy investment real estate has cooled off. Days on market is going up. Prices are stabilizing.

➡️ Macro-development is still happening. Billions of dollars of corporate committed capital is still coming into metro Indy. Carmel. Lebanon. Lilly. Meta. $$$$.

➡️ More inventory… Lower rates…

Now the question is…

Where are are we seeing the most opportunity right now? Neighborhood by neighborhood. Town by town. In Indy.

Where can you cash flow? Is this a pipe dream in 2025? 

Anderson? Tuxedo Park?? Kokomo??

What neighborhoods are we seeing the most appreciation and value-gain opportunity?

Broad Ripple? Is it still safe? Carmel? Downtown? Where at?

We dive right in to where we would NOT invest, yet we still for some reason see people pouring money into these neighborhoods to watch it fall out of their pockets…

Check it out and let me know what you think. It will be worth the listen.
