🏡 Are single-family rental properties still worth investing in around Indianapolis in 2026? Or is small multifamily the smarter move? The Indianapolis real estate market is changing, and investors need to be thinking beyond the purchase price and monthly rent. In this episode of Indy REI, host Jeremy Tallman sits down with T&H Realty Services Brokerage Manager Rosie Calvert to break down one of the biggest questions facing real estate investors in 2026: Should you invest in single-family rentals, duplexes, or small multifamily properties in Indianapolis? And the answer might surprise you. Rosie explains why single-family rental properties still have a strong place in the Indianapolis investment market, especially when investors prioritize location, property quality, tenant demand, and long-term appreciation over chasing monthly cash flow. But that doesn't mean multifamily is automatically the better investment. Here's what Jeremy and Rosie get into: 🔑 Single-Family vs. Multifamily Investing: Which strategy makes more sense for Indianapolis investors in 2026? 📈 The Case for Single-Family Rentals: Larger tenant pools, faster leasing, easier management, stronger resale opportunities, and long-term appreciation. 🏘️ Duplexes & Small Multifamily: Multiple income streams are attractive, but what happens when you factor in turnover, maintenance, tenant complications, and older housing stock? 📍 Where to Invest in Indianapolis: Why safer neighborhoods, stronger schools, newer construction outside the 465 loop, and 1990s–early 2000s HOA communities deserve a closer look. 💰 Cash Flow vs. Long-Term Wealth: Why focusing exclusively on monthly cash-on-cash returns could cause investors to overlook the bigger picture. ⚠️ The Vacancy Risk: The biggest downside of single-family rentals and how it compares to having multiple units under one roof. So, are single-family rentals still a smart investment in Indianapolis in 2026? Rosie thinks so, but buying the right property in the right location has never mattered more. Whether you're an experienced real estate investor, an out-of-state investor looking at the Indianapolis rental market, or considering your first investment property, this episode will help you think more strategically about your next purchase. 👇 Thinking about investing in Indianapolis?
