Hard money, fix and flip and DSCR loans in Evansville, IN

Evansville sits on a meander of the Ohio River, and investors here can find older houses east of downtown to renovate or rent, from Queen Anne cottages and bungalows to American Foursquares. Bayard Park, laid out in 1893 as the city's first planned development, and the brick streets of the Riverside district show how far back that stock runs. Rental owners also register each year with the Building Commission.

  • Register within 30 days: a new owner of a residential rental building in Evansville must register with the Evansville-Vanderburgh Building Commission within 30 calendar days, then renew each year between March 11 and May 10 at $5 per parcel.
  • Check whether the exemptions fit your plan: owner-occupied duplexes, and an owner-occupied single-family home plus one additional single-family house owned by the same owner, fall outside the registration chapter.
  • Underwrite property taxes at Indiana's 2% cap for residential rental property; the 1% cap applies only to an owner's homestead.
  • Budget for Indiana's $20 sales disclosure form fee, paid to the county auditor.
