While investing in real estate we grew the dog walking company from just us to 25 employees walking about 100 dogs a day.

I have a duplex that I owner occupy here that works great, however finding a new deal that makes sense is difficult in Madison.I grew up in the Janesville area but really am not familiar with it anymore in regards to the neighborhoods.

I can’t speak much about other markets, but as someone who started off in Columbus, and grew up in Cleveland, i would say that the Ohio market in general is a very beginner friendly state for investors. 

Then I purchased rentals that are clean BRRRRs and grew my rental portfolio to over seven figures.

Then I purchased my own rentals that are all clean BRRRRs and grew my rental portfolio to over 7 figures.

Purchase price: $66,000 Cash invested: $30,000 Sale price: $169,000 I grew up next door to this property.

In the last few years they grew much higher, but you need to look at the historical numbers not the last few years.

I'm in Ohio (live local to and grew up in Canton actually!) 

I grew up in Cleveland and personally own a S8 rental.

Did they get divorced and couldn’t afford things, were they young and learning beyond their means and have now realized it and grew up?
