Wondering if buying brand-new in Indianapolis actually cash flows—or if you’re better off sticking with the old 100-year “deals”?In this episode of The Roots Podcast, real estate experts Max Moore (@maxxmoorre) and Tyler Lingle (@tyler_lingle) break down exactly how new development duplexes perform vs. older properties in Indianapolis, and what every investor should know before buying.Whether you’re an out-of-state investor, a first-time house hacker, or a seasoned landlord, this minisode unpacks the real numbers, real headaches, and real rewards of each path.Here’s what we cover:- The true cost difference between old and new duplexes in Indy.- The “three horsemen” of small multifamily: vacancy, maintenance, and capex.- House-hackability of new construction: FHA/low-down options and realistic payments.- Micro-market insight: how being two streets off can change your ROI.- Mid-term vs. long-term rentals on new builds—and which wins right now.PLUS: Max and Tyler share real client stories, lessons learned from managing Class C properties, and how to avoid the common “spreadsheet trap” new investors fall into.Ready to take the next step?
