Jeremy Tallman welcomes Brokerage Manager Rosie Calvert to discuss what she’s seeing on the selling side of the Indianapolis investment market as summer comes to a close. Rosie shares what sellers need to know about today’s market, how buyer demand is changing, and what it takes to position an investment property for a successful sale. They cover pricing strategies, preparing a rental property for the market, common mistakes sellers make, and why understanding the type of buyer you’re targeting can make a major difference. Rosie also explains when it makes sense to sell, how investors should think about timing, and what sellers can do to avoid leaving money on the table.

Jeremy Tallman welcomes buyer’s agent Paul Linn to discuss what he’s seeing in the Indianapolis investment market for long-term rentals in late summer as school returns. Paul says early 2026 was favorable for buyers, spring brought more competition, and recent weeks feel slower with more seller flexibility, though well-priced homes still get multiple offers. Paul notes interest rates aren’t dominating investor conversations as much, and advises new investors to narrow search areas because Indy is large and hyper-local. They also cover inspection negotiations, common deal killers, and why chasing the cheapest house can create costly rehab headaches.

Is your rental property really a "dud" — or are you just looking at the wrong number? In this solo episode, Jeremy Tallman breaks down why cash flow alone is one of the most misleading ways to judge whether a rental property is actually working for you. Using an Indianapolis property as an example, Jeremy walks through the four hidden wealth-building forces at play behind the scenes — cash flow, principal pay-down, appreciation, and tax benefits — and shows how a property that "cash flows zero" can still return 40%+ on your invested capital in a single year.

Spring didn’t just show up in Indianapolis… buyers did too. In this episode of Indy REI, host Jeremy Tallman sits down with Director of Resident Relations Kelsay Bolden and Agent Paul Linn to break down what really happened in Q1 across leasing and sales in the Indianapolis market. Leasing started slower than expected thanks to cold weather and hesitant movers, but momentum is building. Rents have largely stabilized compared to 2025, and pricing strategy is becoming the difference between sitting vacant and getting leased. Meanwhile, renewal activity is strong, with a 60% conversion rate signaling that more renters are choosing to stay put. On the sales side, falling interest rates sparked a wave of activity—but this isn’t a free-for-all market. It’s active, but selective. Well-positioned homes are moving fast, while others are getting left behind. With a median price around $250,000, days on market near 18, and list-to-sale ratios hovering around 97.9%, Paul breaks down exactly where the opportunities are right now—including why areas south of I-70 and neighborhoods like Irvington and Beech Grove are worth a closer look If you’re an investor trying to make sense of today’s market, this is the clarity you’ve been looking for.
