“Tyler and Amanda were great to work with in my search for a property in Indy. They were responsive and very knowledgable of the downtown and surrounding markets. Tyler has experience with multi-family units and rentals, and was direct and honest with his analysis of properties and locations. Same with Amanda. They were both receptive and supporting during my inspection responses involving considerable seller credit requests. They were always open to considering multiple options and finding solutions for anything that popped up through the process! Would definitely recommend!”

Investor-friendly RealtorThe owner's edge
An agent who owns what he sells.
I went from an inner-city teaching salary to a 12-unit rental portfolio, so I read a deal the way an owner does. For you that means sharper pricing, harder negotiation, and honest advice on what a home is actually worth. Whether you're buying your first place, selling, or building a portfolio, you get an agent who has sat on both sides of the closing table.

The foundation
Faith and fitness: the foundation.
Most people would never see a connection between faith, fitness, and real estate. But I have found that calibrating to True North, along with consistency with habits, leads to better outcomes across the board in life, including real estate.
Faith
I realize it's a bit brash to come right out and say faith is important to my work. But hear me out: Faith is the humility to trust a power other than oneself. It takes Faith to trust a process. I would not be doing this work without Faith. I could not.
Fitness
Keeping with fitness, all forms of fitness (mental, physical, spiritual) take discipline and effort. It's not easy. I believe fitness keeps you sharp, useful to others, and at a higher integrity with yourself.

tyler_lingleI came across this article on Realtor.com and found it fascinating. Indiana was recently ranked #1 in the nation for affordability & homebuilding 👀. What’s behind this? ✅ Median listing price: $295,810 ✅ Median household income: $71,469 ✅ Median-priced homes require about 28.3% of median income ✅ Indiana is still building at a healthy pace compared to population growth The combination of the above factors makes Indiana the most reliable place to find affordable housing… Crazy right?! Worst on the list? ❌ New York (51st) ❌ Massachusetts (50th) ❌ California (47th) Biggest movers up? ↗️ Delaware ↗️ Utah ↗️ Colorado Do you think Indiana is affordable and deserves the #1 spot?

tyler_lingleWhen my friend Grant approached me with this property, it was quite beat up from years of tenants living there. We put together a plan which included a ton of cosmetic renovations. Our team was able to periodically check-in on work, advise on finishes / landscaping, and make sure this got brought to market in good fashion, even with him living out of town. Serving clients is truly the most satisfying thing. The final product here — although it still has room for improvements — is a great canvas for a first time or move-up buyer! —— 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐛𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐧 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡 🌿 This 3 bed, 2 bath Broad Ripple-area gem blends classic charm with everyday functionality — hardwood floors, fresh paint, granite countertops, stainless appliances, a flexible upstairs loft, finished basement space, and a fully fenced backyard built for summer nights.
