New aspiring investor from Southern NH!

[Jeremy C.]

Hello BP community! I have been lurking for a while on the site and finally wanted to make a post introducing myself. I know it's hard to network these days, mostly because of busy schedules and covid, but I have been making a much more intentional effort to create more connections with experts and amateurs alike far and wide. I purchased my first SFH personal residence this August and have been obsessed with real estate ever since.

My education is in business administration and I plan to continue working my W2 job while growing a portfolio of rental properties. Still trying to nail down what market makes the best sense for my first investment property. I am very interested in southern New Hampshire for owning rental properties, but am having trouble making sense of the low inventory of MLS deals and comparatively high taxes.

As of right now I am definitely looking for like-minded people who love to collaborate and share their experiences, so if you like to chat I'd be so glad to!

Many more posts to be made! Looking forward to getting to know and work with some of you.

All the best, Jeremy

Hey There @Jeremy C. It is always nice to speak with individuals that are likeminded, especially in this business!  I personally invest in Cleveland (Pulling out though), Akron, OH and Tampa, FL.  You will find, especially when speaking to other investors, that everyone has their own goal and ideas in mind (And that is ok!).  Ultimately, it is what works best for you and your goal.  

I currently am a Realtor in NW Ohio, I work with investors all over that come to Toledo because the cap rates are amazing! Toledo also offers varies types of neighborhoods and style properties within those neighborhoods. For example, you will find a MFH and SFH in any class neighborhood.

When reviewing Toledo properties you will discover that the Toledo market is different from all others, not to mention, extremely low purchase prices on fixer uppers as compared to their retail value, Toledo is full of promises. The need for quality residential and commercial space has become astonishing, making the right investment in Toledo is sometimes not easy with so many different projects to choose from. Whether it is Single-Family homes, Multi-Family homes, mixed use or any other type of property, with such a high demand in Toledo, it rarely stays on the market for a great length of time.

Some reasons why so many people are flocking to invest in this cosmopolitan community would be:

- Low inflation
- One of the safest cities in Ohio
- Low cost of living
- Growing metropolitan

If this sounds like something that your goals might like lets chat, I am always open to discuss my personal experiences as well as discuss the Toledo Market.
