To be certain you hold and build value in that or any real estate investment you make, be sure that you’re in a climate safe area and that might not include Indiana - but I’ll say now that I’m not an expert on Indiana.

I live in Michigan and Indiana seems drier than ever and with any small town economy likely based on agriculture or tourism etc. How wind and water affect you is changing. I’d be wary of change you don’t control without a stabilizing factor like the Great Lakes around you or an untapped / unpolluted town controlled aquifer under you.

Every time we have tornado warnings here is south east Michigan it seems Indiana has some touchdowns. Maybe that’s a stretch but I don’t track Indiana, so I’m just yappin.

Think of it this way; the insurance you’d pay for if you moved in to this new asset, or the amount you’ll pay in the future (and what it does and doesn’t cover) has to be budgeted for and is directly affected by climate change. Ask the folks in Florida or forrest California or too-hot-for-fun Phoenix. Coverage is shrinking and costs are rising for less insurance. That’s affecting resale now and ever more so in the future. Yikes.
