Kent/Akron Ohio Introduction

Jeremy Lewis
  • Kent, OH
Posted

Hello everyone! Several months ago when I joined I had been living in Arizona and I just finished my move to Ohio so I figured I would post a new introduction with updates.

I am Jeremy Lewis and I was born and raised in Toledo Ohio. I met my wife in 2011 and at the end of that same year I moved out to the Akron area to be closer to her family. I spent the next five years learning the Interior Home Remodeling trades with a local Tallmadge company before starting my journey as a cable installer which had me travel to fourteen states in three years. During that time I had moved to Arizona with my wife and at the end of the third year doing cable installation I left that company and started my own business as a Handyman.

Eventually we tired of Arizona and made the decision to move back to Ohio. Some of the factors included the housing market, the multitudes of friends that we missed dearly and the color green.

My plans for the future is to rebuild my client list to get money flowing again so that by the beginning of 2020 we can purchase our first rental property. We are hoping to pay cash for this property and use my experience to fix it ourselves and rent it out using a property manager leaving us with extra funds going directly into a bucket slated for more rentals. I am hoping that by the end of 2021 we will have a half dozen properties, and over a dozen by the end of 2022.

Thanks for listening and I am glad to be here in the community as well as back in Ohio!
