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.

Indianapolis-based concert company MOKB Presents recently announced plans to open a 1,200-capacity venue in early 2026 at the former site of Well Done Marketing in Fountain Square's Murphy Arts Building. The plans for a new indoor venue means outdoor concerts at shows at the Hi-Fi Annex — located in the parking lot outside the Murphy building — will end next fall. Hi-Fi Annex debuted in June 2020 as a temporary place for MOKB Presents to stage shows while the pandemic limited the company's indoor options. But the popular concerts continued long after. The new venue will be MOKB's third concert space in the Murphy building — and each will accommodate a different sized crowds. In this week's episode, IBJ arts and entertainment reporter Dave Lindquist talks with MOKB Presents partners Josh Baker and Dan Kemer about why musicians and their management care about venues of different sizes and why shows open to all ages can help a music community grow. The IBJ Podcast is brought to you by Taft.  

Last week's edition of the IBJ Podcast featured Chris Gahl, executive vice president and chief marketing officer for Visit Indy, unpacking the strategy for promoting Indianapolis to a worldwide audience during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. As promised, we have a follow-up interview with Gahl this week that is so different from last week's that we needed to carve out a separate space for it. Gahl is one of the most recognizable figures among those who promote Indianapolis—and one of the most important voices for the city's brand of Midwestern hospitality and inclusive values. He's known for his sunny disposition and easy way for expressing enthusiasm for almost any topic. But his adult life was shaped by childhood tragedy—the murder of his father. Thomas E. Gahl, a U.S. probation officer for the Southern District of Indiana, was killed in 1986 by a parolee in Fountain Square. It of course was a catastrophic event for Gahl, his mother and his younger brother, Nick. Even today, he's sorting through the repercussions of the loss of his father. The tragedy reverberated in a different way in 2018 when Gahl was diagnosed with cancer. A father of two boys himself, Chris couldn't help but see the potential for his sons to suffer a similar loss. Under the care of a legend in the Indianapolis medical community, he got a clean bill of health last year. And he generously agreed to talk about the lessons from his cancer journey and his father's death for this week's edition of the podcast. The IBJ Podcast is brought to you by Taft.

The legacy of Indiana's first Freetown founded by Black Civil War veterans, Norwood remains intact as a testament to its founders' tenacity. Black Civil War veterans and freedmen founded Norwood in the 1860s, carving out a safe haven in the city that neighbored Fountain Square, and the area remained a self-maintaining town into the 1970s. Today, descendants remain and share their history, holding onto its legacy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In his mid-20s, Christian Resiak decided to learn how to hand-stitch leather handbags. He went to thrift stores, bought all of the leather jackets he could find and set up a workspace in his basement. He sold his first bag on Etsy within a month. He called his fledgling company Howl + Hide, partly in reference to his talkative Siberian Husky. Eight years later, Resiak has built Howl + Hide into a million-dollar business with 17 employees without the help of any investors or bank financing. Howl + Hide's flagship location in Fountain Square doubles as its main retail site—where it sells a wide variety of handbags, tote bags, duffels, keychains and wallets—and its main production facility. But that will change in the near future as Resiak plans to at least double his employee base and double—maybe triple—his sales this year, with some partnerships with national brands on the way. In conversation with podcast host Mason King, Resiak details the process of building the business from scratch and his grand plan to become a global brand. The IBJ Podcast is brought to you by Taft.

When Sheree Paolello signed a contract to be a reporter at WLWT-TV News 5 she saw Cincinnati as a stepping stone to a bigger market like Chicago or New York. But that contract became two contracts. Then an offer to anchor came along. So she stayed. This month marks her 20th anniversary at WLWT. Paolello told The Enquirer's "That's So Cincinnati" podcast there's no other place she'd rather report the news. Paolello grew up in St. Leon, in Dearborn County. She graduated from Northern Kentucky University and went on to be a crime reporter in South Bend, Indiana, Dayton and Charlotte before coming to Cincinnati. A mother of three, Paolello found the love of her life, Mike Dardis, in the anchor chair right next to where she sits. They celebrated their third wedding anniversary a few weeks ago. Looking back, Paolello said the big stories that resonate with viewers are, of course, the stories she remembers too. She reported live from Fountain Square in 2018 when a gunman killed three and wounded two others in the lobby of Fifth Third's headquarters.  She covered the 2006 saga of Marcus Fiesel, a 3-year-old child who was falsely reported missing, but whose foster parents killed him. Paolello knows her job can look glamorous, but the truth, she says, is that it usually isn't. "When you're a young reporter," Paolello said, "I don't think you realize the gravity of the job. ... And then you meet people on the worst day of their life. And what I always say to rookie reporters and to journalism school interns, I'll say to them, 'The day you lose your compassion is the day you need to get out of this business because it a day story for us is most of the time a life-changing moment for other people." To deal with the toughest stories she relied on Dardis' strength as her partner and the advice a priest gave her many years ago. He told her to be compassionate and do her job the best she can, in the most compassionate way possible. Then Dardis suggested that every night, on the way home, Paolello say a prayer for the people she's reported on. "And that is kind of how I've gotten through it," Paolello said. "I have been doing this job for over 25 years, 20 here in Cincinnati. And that's what I do. I say a prayer for the parents whose kids were killed in a car crash or the father who lost their wife to cold blood or whatever it is. "I try to just make it be part of my routine."
