Indianapolis zip codes are a terrible way to pick an investment, and this episode shows you exactly why. Max Moore and Tyler Lingle go zip by zip across Indy: where the cash flow actually is, the hidden gem areas they would buy in today, where to find real appreciation, and the zones they personally refuse to touch.
The big takeaway: one zip code can hold 5 to 10 completely different neighborhoods, so you have to buy street by street, not by the number on the map. Real listings, real numbers, and honest calls on 46201, Eagledale, Irvington, Broad Ripple, the Meridian corridor, Mars Hill, and Martindale-Brightwood.
