Bold 2025 Predictions, Off-Market Deals, Triplex in Fountain Square, and more!

Welcome to 2025 fellow Indy Investors!

This year we have even more real estate & investing content, as well as a new look with this newsletter… ie. more unique Indy deals sourced directly to you. I am finally test driving a new newsletter host (Beehiv) and so far I am liking it… Part of the reason:

If you hate reading newsletters in your email just press Open in Browser for a less distracting read — my two pennies of advice.

Here’s how I’ll be organizing this newsletter in 2025:

1. What I’m Up To — I’ll share investments I’m taking steps to take, what’s occupying my time & attention, and things I want to share!

2. Unique Deals — One of each: Off-Market Deal, Indy Retail Deal, Roots Listing Deal.

3. Best Content I’ve Consumed in the Past Week — I’ll share a podcast, YouTube clip, blog post, etc that racked my brain about real estate, entrepreneurship, life, etc.

4. Market Update — Literally the quickest and most high-level real estate market update available on Indy.

5. Upcoming Events — It’s no surprise our team hosts some of the best real estate events in Indianapolis, so I’ll share the invite, per usual!

What I’m Up To…

• My business partner and I launched our podcast! 🎉

• I’ve been pumped to see the reaction to our first podcast episode… We have gotten about 250 listens which greatly exceeded my expectations to be honest.

• The purpose of the pod is to discuss how to Plant Roots (in Indy) and Build Wealth (in life).

• Getting into long-form content has been a desire for awhile but we finally had the passivity from our real estate business (and capital) to make the jump! (S/O our producer AJ Kallas who is doing all the heavy-lifting / producing)

• We will be interviewing business owners & real estate entrepreneurs in Indy, as well as some internal episodes talking about our own experiences (and failures).

The Best Content I’ve Consumed This Week 🎙️

The Roots Podcast Ep 1. — Alright I know what you’re thinking… Seriously he picked his own podcast?! But seriously, Max (co-founder) and I share our journey building Roots Realty Co, how we got into our first investments, mistakes learned the hard way in building business. LISTEN! I promise you’ll get something from it!

25 Bold Economic Predictions for 2025 — You’re going to hear me mention Andreas Muller’s Newsletter a lot… It’s fantastic…. It goes deep into housing market / economic nitty gritty to post skeptical investor takes. These takes are fire.

Market Update 📈

• Prices have remained very strong, in June we set Median Price record of $315,000, since have gone down in a seasonal downswing.

• Active Inventory was quite up back half of year in 2024, but now going down (seasonal).

• 2 month’s of active inventory, a balanced market is 6-7 month’s of inventory.

• Days on Market is up. Listings are sitting a tad longer. Excellent time to use leverage against seller’s to scoop deals under asking.

Upcoming Events 🗓️

• Thursday, January 16th, 4-5:30pm — Real Estate Happy Hour hosted at Off-Leash Construction — Find details here!

• Thursday, March 6th — 5-8pm — Roots Real Estate Masterclass — Topic of Discussion is Property Management Mastery with a panel of 3 property management pros! Find details here!
