With the simple understanding that these are agency representation marketing/sales, James Wise is vastly raising the bar on information disclosure.

Do they offer other services that you may need at one point.I only do home improvement loans today but have good referrals in the New York area if you want someone to talk to about lines or loans.Feel free to message or call me.Jason

G'Day everyone,Just wanted to write a quick post to "set the record straight" on the Toledo market.A few investors recently asked me if the Toledo market was "Booming".I can with full confidence tell you that it isn't and it probably never will...Many "Toledoians" might say that it is but in my opinion that is because they haven't educated themselves on other truly "Booming" markets around the nation.I will say this though, the Toledo market has probably never been better.Downtown is very alive with new hotels, restaurants and bars opening up.ProMedica Hospital is doing wonders for the downtown region along with other areas across Toledo.All of this is fantastic new but let's not confuse it with other "Booming" markets like a Texas or Florida for example.Cranes everywhere, new apartments being built, high population growth, jobs, tech, etc...Toledo and other Midwest cities will just never have the demand/appeal as some other areas across the country.Granted, I really don't know of any other market where you can indeed get a "better bang for your buck".Solid B class properties for the price of a parking spot like in some other higher growth markets lolKeep in mind that 1 or 2 properties won't make you rich so you must have a growth type mindset to do well in the Midwest.Building a large portfolio of 10+ properties will make it stable, safe and will provide a better long term return on investment.Thanks for reading and Happy Investing

Getting involved in local CARPOA, LIMG Hbg, or REI York are great resources.

A local RE professional should be able to provide this information to you as well.In New York, we deal with this scenario frequently and oftentimes it does not make sense to legalize ADUs because the permit process is extremely lengthy, the cost is high (sometimes $150-300K for 1 ADU unit), and the potential increase in property valuable is not worth the risk.If you already have an approved permit/plan and can get your renovation down to $80K, you may want to consider this project if the ARV is say north of $800K.** You should also look into any potential property tax increases associated with this change.

Will small business follow (food trucks, bars)?

This happens in most major cities, such as New York, Boston, Washington DC, and many parts of California.

Here is what I have...2080 sq. ft home on 30 acres in upstatenew york.

DC will require you to have 2 egresses, so you will need another door, or larger windows (with no bars). 

Hi Bigger pockets community, my name is Jerry Velez and I currently live in Suffolk county, New York and just like a lot of people on here, I was terrified to make my first post on here!
