Toledo REIA, (Real Estate Investor Association) I encourage all the local investors to join this non-profit organization.  

@Brett Snodgrass, Many thanks for the words of encouragement. 

And many that make thousands of dollars on one transaction and really add no value or use any of their own money.With all this being said what I would encourage all of you to do is to find someone locally that you can trust if you are purchasing out of state.  

Thank you for your encouragement and offer with assistance I may take you up on that. 

Hey @Dave Visaya thanks for the encouragement.

I encourage you to go the the meetings and make your intentions known.

This is an awesome site, I encourage you to read everything you can here and listen to the podcasts.  

You'll find plenty of informative discussions and posts on all.If you haven't done so already, I would encourage you to join the local REIA's and attend the meetings.

Hi,We have friends that live in Oklahoma and are encouraging us to look into purchasing property in the area.

I encourage you to stay involved in the community and see where BP will lead you.Real estate is a rewarding journey if you can put all the pieces together.
