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

The seller had squatters in the house, and we were able to assist them with getting them out of the property before selling this South Land Park house to an experienced house flipper.

I called the number on the sharpie marker sign and a few days later I met up with the owners and walked the property.it's a well maintained (on the outside) duplex on a large double-lot with tons of parking.

The syndications can give you tax-deferred monthly/quarterly distributions due to the GP doing a cost segregation analysis and applying the massive yearly depreciation (on building/parking lot/roof/HVAC etc) against the yearly income.

Now he owns mobile home parks. 

Ideally you would look for something with a detached garage or walk out basement where you can give your guests their own private entrance, parking and a small outdoor space.

The first deal is never the killer deal that knocks it out of the park. 

"parking near me"thats what people search for

It wouldn't take much for me to become the prototypical fat lazy landlord rolling around to pick up fat stacks from his starving skinny boarders, so I at least try to get my dog to the river or the dog park a few times a week, I go out in the garden and pull some weeds (but don't smoke them, those days are long past), hop on my tractor and get some arm exercises in pulling up and pushing down on the joysticks, and get some stair-stepping in when I forgot something down in the garage. 

Then you'll have surface parking, landscape, etc.
