    INDY GOLD RUSH | Competing with Out of State Buyers Flocking to Indianapolis

    How do local Indianapolis Real Estate Investors compete in an increasingly competitive market? The Home Value growth in Indianapolis is 42% since 2020. The Median home price in 2020 was$170,000, but it has increased to $240,000. 2%-4% mortgage rates have risen to 8%.Many people are leaving bigger cities for more affordable living in Indiana. Large Out-of-State corporate investors are swooping in to grab up single-family homes and apartments. Competition for finding good real estate deals is increasingly hard to come by. It's like a gold rush in Indiana.But there is hope for success in Indy for wholesalers and other local investors. Partly, it does take a bit of extra work digging twice as hard as we've been used to. Some of us have gotten lazy, taking the easy deals for granted. But there are deals out there.Local investors and wholesalers have a lot of advantages compared to out-of-state buyers. Many out of state buyers have been developing bad reputations. This is where local investors with consistent track records and face to face encounters goes a long way.Out of State buyers may be able to offer more money, and sometimes that's what it comes down to. But local buyers can offer trust, as many sellers are getting burned by corporate conglomerates. And many out of state investors are coming for 6-12 months and then packing up and leaving. For those local buyers sticking around, consistency builds your credibility.It's not about making big adjustments for buyers right now. It's about make small ones. Maybe you can safely buy at a little higher ARV percentage than you used to be able. Maybe you need to attend more Meet-Ups and other events to make a few extra connections that get you that deal. Maybe you just need to have your ducks lined up better for financing to be a little bit quicker to get the deal when available, so you can close faster. Maybe it's exploring new areas that will be the next Fountain Square. Maybe doing delayed flips and continuing to rent for a few years is a successful recipe as properties appreciate.The moral of the story is, those investors who are in the Indianapolis area for the long-term are the ones who will eventually win out in the end. In the mean time, listen to Brett & Ronnie discuss some tips and tactics that could help you in your short game at this season of the real estate market.

Sellers are tired of holding onto properties. Buyers are back. More activity is happening.3:50 What's it like working with a wholesaler right now in Indy? - Wholesalers are having to do the work to create a proper report. Buyers have more time to look at the property and run their own numbers to make a better assessment. Sales aren't as urgent even though they're picking back up.6:30 Are there chances to negotiate for lower prices for wholesalers in Indianapolis? - There are opportunities to be more conservative as a buyer right now. There are a lot more properties to take a look at on the MLS right now. It's okay to wait on buying a property right now if there are question marks.8:20 Secondary markets in Indiana have good buying prices right now like in Anderson or Muncie or Richmond, but you have to have a strategy. The appreciation won't be the same. Other things to take into consideration. Other certain secondary cities have more going on for them that make more sense to buy in right now. Opportunities are there if you have the right strategy that fits for you.10:38 Buyers shouldn't get too anxious. Have to consider your Indy team won't work the same in Muncie or other cities. You'll have to build secondary teams to attack other areas well.12:00 What does it look like for a seller to market properties in Indy right now? - The temperature on sellers goes both ways right now. Some wanting high asking prices, some willing to sell lower. Leads are crucial right now about who really wants to sell lower right now. Also, does the seller like you enough and trust you enough to work with you.14:15 Sellers in Indianapolis are looking for creative financing options right now. Talk to people like they're human, and see what they really need, and you'll be able to work out more deals right now. Sellers are willing to be flexible if you can talk with them and figure out their unique problems and solutions. You can't treat sellers like numbers right now. Find solution based sellers.18:10 How does Chat GPT and AI change the wholesale space? Right now, people who aren't strong with writing and marketing are using Chat GPT to excel in their work. Also some people have been using it to write letters to the sessions office to get lists on homes with forclosures or back taxes, and it's been working. It will be a good tool going forward for people in real estate.20:15 Wholesaling Meet-Ups in Indianapolis – changing meet-up strategies. 9 week mentor course being offered to fewer more dedicated wholesalers right now to find more success for wholesalers in Indy. Goal is to help person close 2 deals in that 9 week period.

We'll buy any property, in any condition, by giving you a full cash offer. Sound too good to be true? It isn't.

We do this by making sure our sellers are treated fairly, honorably and served in a timely manner. If we commit to buying your home, we understand that our name and reputation are on the line. That means we don't utilize gimmicks or play games in an effort to close deals. Instead, we serve you and will help you get rid of your unwanted property as quickly as possible. Simple Quarter is a company owned by a real estate broker and is associated with Red Bridge Real Estate. And again, we buy any house, in any condition, all cash.
