Should Canadians invest in Indiana real estate? Should I buy and hold real estate in Indy remotely? How?

If you want to buy and invest in Indy real estate from outside of the area then there are a few important things that you need to know.  Today we’ll go over how a Canadian investor can invest in Indy real estate.

First of all, THANK YOU again for making this channel the number one channel for Indiana real estate on YouTube according google analytics and SocialBlade info for BigReia.com.

Should Canadians invest in Indiana real estate? Should I buy and hold real estate in Indy remotely? How?

Indy Anna Explains: 

– Why Indiana’s laws are favorable for investing (even for OOS or International investors) 

– Why specifically Indiana could have higher monthly rent yields than other Midwest States

– Something IMPORTANT to make sure you remember

This is a question from Johnson.

“I am just getting started as a beginner real estate investor located in Vancouver, BC, Canada.  I would like to reach out to fellow investors who have experience in cross-border investing, specifically as a Canadian investing in US real estate.

After doing some research, I have learned that there are “landlord friendly” states that are more suitable or buy/hold investors. These states can include Texas, Indiana, Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama and Michigan, just to name a few.

My question is that which state / cities would you guys recommend to dive deeper for a first time buy and hold Canadian investor in the US?

How about investing in Indiana or the Midwest?”

Landlord Friendly State.

So let’s start out with something to keep in mind for anyone that is thinking about investing in a buy and hold scenario (as opposed to fix and flips).  It’s important to consider whether or not you’re getting ready to invest in a ‘landlord friendly state’.

This means for the life of your investment (as long as the legislation remains)

– You are more ‘favored’ in the eyes of the court system when it comes to evictions, deposits, damages etc.
– Property taxes are lower
– As an owner you have say in your investment – things like rent control don’t apply in Indy

Now being in a landlord friendly state is worth considering for sure, but WAY more importantly than this (really being the difference between a successful OOS/International investment or not) is WHO you have helping you with it, in other words;

Your Boots on the Ground

Your “Boots on the Ground” is important because it is the BIGGEST factor in rentals is the management.  You can buy your property at the wrong price, the wrong area and even with the wrong financing…

BUT…

The management can make up for all of that.

That also tells us the opposite…

So at the same time you can buy at the right price, in the right area with the right financing and do the perfect deal but the management can make it a nightmare. 

So you need to have the right property management in place for long term rentals like that.

If you want to fix/flip markets AND also 2% you will only find those in a few states.  Indiana is one of those states.  I covered this in another class but no less relevant to the question.

Indiana is mainly a flat market, in general it never goes very up or down and because of that this is one of the ONLY markets in the world where you can find “2% Houses” or houses that rent for 2% of the purchase price.

For example, you can buy a house for $40,000 that rents for $800 a  month. 

Done correctly, these can be set up for long term passive income.

Once we factor in tax & vacancy rates, job diversity and growth, population & income growth (accounting for poverty decline) combined with current legislation and housing prices (and potential ROI’s)…

It quickly becomes clear why Indiana is an investor favorite.  It just works out favorably with the numbers that were asked about.  All these attractive investments all happen to be confined within our Hoosier borders.  ;  )

So to recap, YES Indiana is a ‘landlord’ friendly state:

– We also covered why this isn’t the most important thing to consider when investing OOS or internationally.

– We covered reasons why having the right “Boots on the Ground” is even MOST important to keep the ‘health’ of your invest up while you’re not here to do so yourself.
