G’Day BP folks,A fellow Toledo investor started a Facebook group revealing all local scammers.Mostly contractors.10+ years of investing in Toledo and stopped counting at $1m in losses.It’s just the nature of the beast and the cost of doing business in my eyes.Unfortunately, Toledo is notorious for bad operators and poor quality of workmanship in many industries.Maybe this group will help you not loose the same amount of cheese that I did $$$You’re welcome 😇 https://facebook.com/groups/786864700099337/

When I started REI, BP platform has guided me, and three years after, I already have my own RE investments. 

I'm currently diving into the world of commercial real estate with a specific focus on RV and boat self-storage investments.As I'm just starting out, I'm here to learn as much as possible and to connect with experienced investors and professionals.

New or experienced agents please share your story or share something that interested you and made you want to start RE investing or being an agent!
