Then he would put in management and his processes to drive sales up.Food profit margins of 10% do not excite me. i can exceed that easily being a syndicator of retail properties and have the businesses pay me the money.

I always tell myself - “I’ll start connecting when I’m more experience” when in reality, reaching out and laying my cards out might be just what I need. - I’d love to get some thoughts on my situation.

Well, IMO it just can't compare to some other fast moving markets like Texas and Florida for example and should be considered as a strict cashflow play.Columbus, Cincinatti and Cleveland move quicker with higher demand and more infrastructure also IMO.With said, Toledo's growth the last few years has been whopping and as @Ahmed Alswaiti mentioned is predicted to grow even further this year.Not a fan of predictions and I always advise looking at the numbers in the deal TODAY and if they make sense.Any appreciation is just the cherry on top IMO.Still buying sub $100,000 properties that easily exceed the 1% rule here.Not sure of many markets that can take claim to the same.Just negotiating on a 6 unit in Point Place (Toledo folks will know the area well) for $160,000.100% occupied.Needs around $50,000 in rehab or so.Optimize rents to $4,500+ per month and ARV should be $350,000 - $400,000.Get 4-5 of those and pina coladas in the Bahamas 😁Find me another market with such deals and I'll be there hehe

My question is why does it take so long for people to reach 100 doors?

Feel free to reach out if we can help in any way!

I have no specific properties in mind as of now, but wanted to reach out to all of you and see what factors I should be looking for/at once I am physically there.

I would recommend reaching out to your local women's shelter. 

Facebook groups for all of those people mentioned is where you can get your place rented easily, its just hard to do per room.

If your average heating bill is $150, you may not collect enough in the winter months when the bill reaches $225 but you'll collect extra in the summer when it drops to $65.

Feel free to reach out!
