Happy May 1.
May is the busiest season of the year for transacting in real estate. Our team has been busy putting together deals and out selling. Inbound is up, the pipeline is full, and the market is moving.
Quick note before we get into anything new. I want to resurface every deal I've put in your inbox over the past two months. There are a handful in there that got looked over the first time around. Properties that could still turn into great transactions if the right person sees them now.
Inside the PDF: a $1.9M 16-unit commercial play. A 12-property package on the east side. Off-market duplexes in Fall Creek and Broad Ripple. Turnkey single-families under $150K. STR plays on Morse and the Westside. Plus everything in between.
While the deals reel has been running, the rest of the team has been heads-down on the other half of the work. New listings going up. Podcast episodes shipping every Tuesday. Events filling rooms. Here's what's worth catching up on if you missed any of it.
