Introduction
Hello! My name is Greg Newell. I live in Lakewood, OH. I am a piano technician and movers who not only lost his wife 4 years ago but is coming face to face with the reality that I can't move pianos forever! Toward that end I have always been interested in real estate since I am fairly competent with tools and repairs having managed and apartment building in my youth and done all manner of repairs and maintenance. To start with I am looking to gain financing for a double (rental property) that is right next door to me and offered to me privately at half price! Not only would it be good to have as an income property but I can also somewhat control who my neighbors are!! This is an awesome opportunity for a home in rather good shape. If I could get this started it would also be leverage in buying another double about three doors down the other way which is currently owned by the bank since the owner skipped out. Banks hate owning these things so I could probably pick it up for a song and the back taxes. Could be a good start to a better future! Ideas?
