This week, hosts Tyler Lingle and Max Moore sit down with Steve Lehman (aka The Grumpy Real Estate Investor) to talk through squatter strategy, wholesaler traps, new-build math, tax sales, re-parceled duplex headaches, and where he would and wouldn’t buy in Indy today. WILD stories, blunt insights, and super practical playbooks inside.

You’ll learn: how to enter Indy with limited capital, the neighborhoods to approach with caution vs. the overlooked pockets worth watching, what to demand before wiring earnest money to a wholesaler, and how Steve calmly clears a squatter without escalating.
