Roots Deal Sheet

Indy Investors are Waking Up... Are You?

BRRRR plays, turnkey doors, and an off-market portfolio under $1M.

Indy Investors are Waking Up... Are You?

Happy Friday, 🌱

Right now I am noticing a spike in activity in our market. Rates are as low as they have been in 3 years. Sellers are more motivated than ever. Inventory is higher than it has been in 6 years. There is a real opportunity to make a move. This January has been red hot and it will only get busier from here. If you are making a move this year it is time to wake up. 

Why Indy? Read the lagging reports. Our growth is unlike anywhere else. You buy here for appreciation today and cash flow by 3. If active investing is a drag reply back we are looking for partners.

P.S. - We have a fully occupied portfolio for sale of turn key rentals that is really intriguing. Please reply back if you are interested. It is under a million and average rents are $1,418 (5 doors)

If even slightly interested in one of these deals hit reply! I would love to have a conversation, even if it’s just out of curiosity.

SECTION ONE: Value Add

Property 1: 941 W 25th St + 2 lots - $130k

• 3 bed / 1 bath single-family

• Interior fully gutted — ready for rehab

• Newer roof, gutters & soffits

• Electrical updated

• Kitchen plumbing updated

Value Add:

• Sits on a double lot

2-car detached garage

Package deal includes an additional adjacent lot

Total: 3 lots

The Play - Buy the property, fix it up. Sell the additional lots for $35k a pop. Spend $50k on the reno to refi at $190k. With the advantage of selling the lots it makes this a creative BRRRR.

Property 2: 818 N Oakland Ave - $130,000

• Today it sits as a 3 bed 1 bath. 

• It is livable however there is certainly room for improvement. 

• It needs $20k - $35k to make it shine. 

The Play:

The Play: 

With the increase in value added you can achieve the rents demanded in the area. I feel this would likely be best suited as a delayed BRRRR or flip. Put the cash in today and let it ride up with Indy.

SECTION TWO: Turn Key

Property 1: 1948 Bloyd Avenue - $149,900 (Off Market)

• Renovated in the spring of 2024

• Brand new everything on the interior

• There is currently a tenant in place paying $1,795/month
