Official Launch Tomorrow: Indiana Distressed Real Estate Digest + 5 Hidden Gems!
Tomorrow, Monday, March 17, 2025, is the big day—I’m thrilled to share that tomorrow, March 16, 2025, marks the official launch of the Indiana Distressed Real Estate Digest! This newsletter is your go-to resource for navigating Indiana’s dynamic real estate market, with a special focus on distressed properties and investment opportunities. Get ready for actionable insights, market trends, and strategies tailored to wholesalers and investors like you.
For this pre-launch sneak peek, I’m zeroing in on the holy grail for 2025: Finding and Securing Distressed Properties. Forget the obvious tactics—here are 5 Secret Weapons you won’t hear at the next REI meetup:
Tap Into Utility Shut-Off Lists
Call up Indiana Michigan Power or Citizens Energy Group for properties with disconnected utilities. Owners who’ve let services lapse are often in dire straits and ripe for a quick cash offer.Hunt Tax Sale Leftovers
After county tax sales (e.g., Monroe or St. Joseph County), target properties that didn’t sell at auction. Owners who missed their redemption window are desperate and often begging for an exit.Fish in Church Bulletin Boards
Check online or physical bulletin boards of Indiana churches—especially in small towns like Jasper or Bedford. Families quietly post “house for sale” notices there when they’re too proud or private for public Small-Town Newspapers: Hyper-local and overlooked, especially in Indiana’s rural markets where competition is lower.Shadow Inventory: Direct access to bank-held properties bypasses the MLS and bigger players, giving you first dibs.
Divorce Attorneys: An underutilized referral network that leverages human circumstances, not just property data.
Chase Abandoned Building Permits
Scour county records (like Tippecanoe or Vanderburgh County sites) for expired or abandoned building permits. Homeowners who started renovations but couldn’t finish are often underwater and ready to unload.
If you're looking for buyers for your deals, Let me know.
