Good news for Indianapolis.

Nearly $900,000 in grants is being awarded to nonprofit housing developers working to create more affordable homes across the city. When the organizations doing the work are supported, more families gain access to safe, stable housing.

Investments like this strengthen neighborhoods and move real housing solutions forward.

Hidden in plain sight around Indianapolis are homes made entirely of steel. 🏡

They’re called Lustron homes—built after WWII as a bold solution to America’s housing shortage. With porcelain-enameled steel walls, roofs, and cabinets, these futuristic homes were designed to be durable, low-maintenance, and built to last.

Only 2,498 were ever made, and several still stand right here in Indy.

Next time you're driving through an older neighborhood… look closely. You might pass one without even realizing it.

Indianapolis and Lawrence Township are merging their eviction assistance programs into one unified Tenant Advocacy Project. The goal is to simplify support for renters facing eviction and connect them with free legal help. Funding of about $1.5M is in the 2026 city budget, but staffing shortages remain a big concern. Advocates worry that without enough trained court navigators, tenants could still struggle to access justice. 📍✊

But some key positions are still unfilled.

What if the real reason homes are so darn expensive isn’t a shortage of houses? 🤔

New research out of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco says we might have it all backwards. It turns out housing supply has grown faster than population in many expensive markets — even places like San Francisco — meaning the big price hikes might have more to do with who can afford to pay than how many homes exist.

So instead of blaming a lack of homes, maybe we should look at income dynamics and how wealthier buyers are bidding prices sky-high.

That doesn’t mean supply isn’t part of the story, but it does mean solutions focused only on building more homes might miss the bigger picture.

What do you think is driving housing costs? 💭

A new paper from researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco challenges the common assumption that homes have gotten more expensive because too few have been built.

🎯 Landlords & real-estate investors — time to get serious about risk.

➡️ According to a recent breakdown by BiggerPockets, one slip on a deck board could trigger a lawsuit that wipes out years of rental income — and most standard homeowners’ policies won’t cover it.

🛡 What you NEED to know:

Once you rent a property, your liability exposure shoots up via tenants, guests, contractors.

Homeowner’s insurance often excludes rental activity; you need landlord liability insurance.

Coverage recommendations: at least $1 million per occurrence, $2 million aggregate for single-unit rentals; more for higher-risk properties.

Key exposures: slip-and-falls, dog bites (even when lease says “no pets”), carbon monoxide incidents.

Beware of gaps: intentional acts, certain dog breeds, and business use by tenants may be excluded.

📌 Bottom line: You’ve built your rental portfolio. Time to shield it properly — not just the bricks and mortar, but you as the owner. A lawsuit hitting uncovered could destroy everything.

🧱 Real Estate Just Got a Tax Makeover — And It's Glowing Up (Again) 🏗️

Under Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), real estate came out like it just hit a CPA jackpot:

✅ Bonus depreciation is back
✅ QBI deduction stays strong
✅ SALT cap workaround? Still working
✅ Opportunity Zones? Now permanent
✅ LIHTC gets a boost
⚠️ Clean energy credits? Going, going... gone (after July 2026)

The takeaway? Real estate investors and advisors aren’t just surviving — they’re thriving under OBBBA.

If you play in property, the tax code is your playground again.
But act fast — some incentives are running on borrowed time. ⏳

The Trump administration's big tax legislation has plenty for the real estate industry to like, says an expert from Baker Tilly.

Don’t Assume Protection—Inspect It.

You’ve done the heavy lifting—sourced the deal, locked in financing, and handed the keys to your property manager. Now? Time to relax...right? Not always.

Just because your property manager is licensed doesn’t mean they’re properly insured. Many investors discover too late that their PM is underinsured or not insured in critical areas—and some contracts even shift full liability back to the property owner.

That means if a tenant trips, a vendor gets injured, or maintenance slips through the cracks, you could be on the hook, not them.

Hiring a property manager is smart—but without asking the right questions and making sure the right protections are in place, you might be building your portfolio on shaky ground.

Bottom line: Don’t assume liability protection—make it explicit.

You did the hard work. You analyzed the deal, secured the financing, and handed the keys over to a professional property manager. Now, you finally get to sit

Indianapolis is transforming—fast.

The Old Southside, tucked just south of downtown, is quietly morphing into the next Fountain Square. Expect new builds, remodeled gems, and a neighborhood walking distance from Lucas Oil Stadium.

Why this matters:

Prime location in a revitalized downtown area

Lower price points compared to more established districts

Multi-strategy potential: flips, BRRRRs, long- or short-term rentals—all possible here

Sweet spot: appreciate value while still generating cash flow

Bottom line: Indie is no longer the "hidden gem"; it's showing off. Want in? The Old Southside is calling.

When real estate investors hear “affordable cash flow cities,” they may think of Detroit or Cleveland. But I think one of the best cash flow cities in America
