New Roots Episode: Steve Lehman aka. The Grumpy Real Estate Investor

Worst Indy Neighborhoods? Hidden Gems? He Spills Everything...

We just dropped a new podcast with none other than Steve Lehman.

If you don’t know Steve, then you’ve been missing out. Especially if you invest in Indy real estate.

Steve was buying properties in Indianapolis when the rest of us were in diapers. A Chicago guy at heart. Endearingly known as The Grumpy Real Estate Investor. (Seriously, check out these hilarious reels).

From off-market scooping of deals, to raiding squatters, to sage wisdom observing the changes in Indy real estate from early 2000’s to 2025, he dives into all of that. They literally hire this man to poke holes in your deals, he’s that smart.

My favorite questions he dives into:

  • What would he do if he just arrived in Indy with $25k? Would he invest it into real estate? This answer may surprise you…

  • How does Steve rank his various types of investment — Stocks, Bonds, Real Estate, Trucking Companies?

  • What neighborhoods does Steve watch out for…?!

  • What is his favorite hidden gem of a neighborhood in Indy?

  • And more…
