Mailman By Day/Real Estate Investor At Night

Member since 2018 · 5 posts · 7 votes

Hello Bigger Pockets Community!  Just wanted to say how thankful I am for this community!  I am a mailman by day and a real estate investor at night.  Bigger Pockets has helped my wife and I grow in our knowledge and passion for investing.  As I walk my mail route I listen to the podcasts until my phone goes dead!  Started purchasing real estate for the purpose of passive income about 3 years ago and we now have 5 rentals in the Toledo, Ohio area.  We are getting ready to purchase our first foreclosure at a sheriff's sale next month.  To say we are a little bit anxious would be an understatement but we are looking forward to learning and growing as we continue to create a more secure future for ourselves and our two sons.  Thanks again to the leaders of this great community and the members that share their experiences!  

Ryan

    @Ryan Lachmiller, Good for you! It sounds like you're well on your way to being a Savvy investor in Toledo. I know people in the Toledo investment Community who have bought properties at Sheriff sale. If you have a specific question post it here and I will see if I can get an answer for you.

    Hi Ryan, that's awesome! I, too, am a part time investor in Toledo. And I've also seen some properties that I've been interested in on the sheriff sale list but nervous to pull the trigger on any! Good luck and I look forward to hearing about your future successes!

    We have been part time investors in the Dayton, OH market since 2012. We bought our first sheriffs auction property this past Dec 2018. Despite is going to litigation for being sold multiple times, I would say overall it was a really good experience.
