Know of any good GCs, or specialty trades [flooring, plumbing, electrical, etc.] in Toledo? I would like to find a good reputable contractor that gets in, and does the job [until complete].

I've heard/seen some contractors take 1/2 up front and not return for months [if at all]. Thanks in advance.

Hey BP family,

Yes. This was my concern as well regarding the legal issue and it being the same person. Said issue is what prompted my original post.

Hey Folks,

Any one hear of or have any experience with NorthCoast Consulting Group?

Seen a YouTube where the owner/principal provided a process to scale quickly. Want to know if this organization is what it advertised to be. Can't find it on BBB or anywhere else I've searched.

Thanks in advance.

Hello BP Family,

I'm new to BP [first post] and really new to the Toledo Market. I have purchased and renovated a couple of SFHs and am having some difficulties finding good tenants. Any processes to share and/or tips/recommendations?

Thanks,

Ant.

Hi Anthony, are you local and managing yourself or out of town? If you're out of town, then yes, you need a good PM. Shameless plug for LaPlante, reach out to @Andrew Fidler for more info on what we do, which is everything.

If you're local and managing yourself, it's a great way to learn the entire rental process: acquisition, renovation, leasing, management, turnover. But, it also depends on where your properties are. If they're in D class neighborhoods (or even lower C class as well), then your options are pretty limited. You can't make a filet mignon with ground chuck beef if that makes sense. To get a better pool of potential renters for you properties, you have to be in areas where they are going to want to live. You also need to have an above average house for the neighborhood to give them.

If you're leasing yourself, you really can't go too wrong with Zillow. I would stay away from Facebook Marketplace, it was a crap show the couple times I threw a house up there, but that's just me.

Bottom line is that it's a learning process. You'll figure out what works best for you, but be ready to learn the hard way along the way. Best of luck to you.

Many thanks for the metaphor [makes sense], advice and the plug. Hit the nail on the head, I will manage these to learn and to temper my expectations regarding PMs. Just trying figure out how to get a good pool of applicants.

Toledo Area Rentals Facebook group for prospect tenants

Jackleyn is the admin and runs it well

Much success

I just couldn’t deal with the scam and spam in the other ones! It’s beyond bad!

Scam and spam? Unfamiliar with what you're referring to. Is there something w/ one of the comments I should be weary of?

Thanks, Jackelyn.

@Anthony Roberts your info, "having some difficulties finding good tenants", is actually pretty vauge.

Are you having problems getting showings, applications, high enough credit scores, performing tenants or what?

Need more specifics to offer any decent assistance

Having problems sourcing good applicants [good credit, no evictions, etc.]. Not willing to show to applicants I've received as they either can't afford the rent/don't make enough, have multiple evictions. I'm slightly lenient with credit and rely more on bank statements. Please lmk if clear enough. Thanks.
