Indy REI with T&H Realty

🏡 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.

Jeremy Tallman welcomes Brokerage Manager Rosie Calvert to discuss what she’s seeing on the selling side of the Indianapolis investment market as summer comes to a close.

Rosie shares what sellers need to know about today’s market, how buyer demand is changing, and what it takes to position an investment property for a successful sale. They cover pricing strategies, preparing a rental property for the market, common mistakes sellers make, and why understanding the type of buyer you’re targeting can make a major difference.

Rosie also explains when it makes sense to sell, how investors should think about timing, and what sellers can do to avoid leaving money on the table.

Jeremy Tallman welcomes buyer’s agent Paul Linn to discuss what he’s seeing in the Indianapolis investment market for long-term rentals in late summer as school returns. Paul says early 2026 was favorable for buyers, spring brought more competition, and recent weeks feel slower with more seller flexibility, though well-priced homes still get multiple offers. Paul notes interest rates aren’t dominating investor conversations as much, and advises new investors to narrow search areas because Indy is large and hyper-local. They also cover inspection negotiations, common deal killers, and why chasing the cheapest house can create costly rehab headaches.

Is your rental property really a "dud" — or are you just looking at the wrong number?

In this solo episode, Jeremy Tallman breaks down why cash flow alone is one of the most misleading ways to judge whether a rental property is actually working for you. Using an Indianapolis property as an example, Jeremy walks through the four hidden wealth-building forces at play behind the scenes — cash flow, principal pay-down, appreciation, and tax benefits — and shows how a property that "cash flows zero" can still return 40%+ on your invested capital in a single year. 

In this episode of Indy REI, Jeremy meets with Kelsay and Rosie once again to talk all things Central Indiana market.

Kelsay, Director of Resident Relations, shared what her leasing team has seen in Quarter 2 and a look ahead for Q3.

Rosie, T&H Brokerage Manager, discusses how it has been a very up and down quarter with her brokerage team.
