Newbie in Toledo... For almost 3 years!

Hi all!

I have finally decided to take the plunge and start doing. So, I am on here, uploaded a picture, and discovered I first joined on December 31, 2015...

Wow...

Too much wasted time.

So here I am, with my first post. Getting my feet wet. Books and magazines I am at least going to open and look at every page to my right, Amazon Prime music streaming my favorite play list over my Echo, and cats more or less subdued... which is strange because their feeding time in only 30 minutes away...

I am not proud to say this intimidates me. Not ashamed, as intimidation is Nature's way of saying, "Make sure the ice is six inches deep before you go running across the lake." Just not proud of how long it has taken me to begin to tentatively slide my feet across the pond.

Oh well. Enough self-checking on my self-checking. Time to glide a little.

Can anyone recommend any good Toledo groups? (Ohio, not Spain :) Or any good books on the numbers of investing in property? And, they can be technical. In fact technical is better. I have an MBA, and have helped prep 20-year budget and finance reports for companies. (TY professor Chichernea for one of the most intensely challenging Corporate Finance classes ever!)  I want to know that when I am crunching the financials I am not missing anything!

So, suggestions? Questions? Idle chit-chat?

I'd love to hear it all!

Best,

DC

I found this site after listen to one of Brandon Turner's audible books.  I would recommend you start there.....I found it very informative and entertaining.
