Investment property loans · St. Joseph County, IN
South Bend sits directly south of the University of Notre Dame, and investors buy older houses near downtown and along the St. Joseph River to renovate for resale or to rent. In 2013 the city launched an initiative to deal with 1,000 vacant or abandoned homes in 1,000 days through repair or demolition. Rentals also need a city safety inspection certificate, so build that checklist into any rehab budget.
