Zachary Schimenz WARNING: Don't Use Ohio Cash Flow unless you want to lose thousands of dollars
8 May 2024 | 112 replies
Even tho I clearly state in all intro calls that they are a "hit and a miss" in tertiary markets like Toledo and to not rely on them when investing with Ohio Cashflow.We will gladly use your "trusted" appraised value as the purchase price (Even tho our office manager clearly explained via email it was way too low and to dispute and try again, etc...)Minus all income received over the last 3 years.Minus all the time, resources and personal funds spent trying to satisfy you (We have a list).Feel free to compare your receipts to ours and we will buy it back today...Investing in a property, collecting cashflow for 3 years, getting a high repair bill, getting flustered and expecting the provider to buy back the property isn't fair in my opinion.You can't go to a restaurant, eat the food, fill your stomach and then say "the food was $#@% give me a refund."

Not only that, but in my case, where I am a builder-owner until my license is approved, its ridiculous dealing with 'hiring' anyone to 'help' in this state so I've resolved with my trustworthy neighbor to paint it together and all i owe him is some beer and food.
