Hi Ben, I've lived in Toledo all my life...can't say it's anything unusual that makes jobs and renters, we have strong manufacturing with obvious ties to the automotive industry (Dana corp- parts supplier, Jeep- manufacturer, Owens Corning- insulation/bldg materials, Anderson's- agriculture/fertilizer, First Solar) Like any area we have some $250k and up neighborhoods with little crime and great schools...and some seedier areas where you will read about gang shootings about once a week.

I also have a 25+ year stellar reputation in construction in our area.Mostly I wanted to throw this out there to just let others know that it IS possible, BUT also VERY dependent on those long term relationships and having great finances even if not available for the project at hand.Dan DIetz

There are usually a few contractors there at the meeting and if not, the group can definitely refer you to several reputable contractors they have used.
