Struggling to figure out whether new construction duplexes are worth it? Wondering if buying brand-new in Indianapolis actually cash flows—or if you’re better off sticking with the old 100-year “deals”?

In this episode of The Roots Podcast, real estate experts Max Moore (@maxxmoorre) and Tyler Lingle (@tyler_lingle) break down exactly how new development duplexes perform vs. older properties in Indianapolis, and what every investor should know before buying.

Whether you’re an out-of-state investor, a first-time house hacker, or a seasoned landlord, this minisode unpacks the real numbers, real headaches, and real rewards of each path.

Here’s what we cover:
- The true cost difference between old and new duplexes in Indy.
- The “three horsemen” of small multifamily: vacancy, maintenance, and capex.
- House-hackability of new construction: FHA/low-down options and realistic payments.
- Micro-market insight: how being two streets off can change your ROI.
- Mid-term vs. long-term rentals on new builds—and which wins right now.

PLUS: Max and Tyler share real client stories, lessons learned from managing Class C properties, and how to avoid the common “spreadsheet trap” new investors fall into.
