    Indianapolis Real Estate 2025: What’s Really Working (and What’s Not) | Roots Pod #32

    Struggling to make sense of the Indianapolis real estate market right now? You’re not alone. In this recap episode of The Roots Podcast, hosts Max Moore and Tyler Lingle unpack their biggest takeaways from Episode 31 with Steve Lehman — The Grumpy Real Estate Investor. From his brutally honest takes on flips, BRRRRs, and the current Indy market, to his unfiltered advice on what not to buy, Steve’s perspective left the guys both challenged and inspired. Max and Tyler dive into: - Why the Indy market feels so tight — and what’s still actually working. - The one investment strategy Steve says is worth your time (and why). - Their candid debate on New Group vs. Louisville/Cincy multifamily. - The surprising Indy pocket Steve says is still undervalued. - A fresh new segment: Roots Ranks — and where real estate lands on Steve’s list. PLUS: The guys talk about how they’re personally adjusting their strategies heading into winter, from medium-term rentals (MTRs) to stacking cash for the next wave of opportunities. 👇 Ready to take the next step?
