Hi, everyone. I am Mark Lenox, living in Valley View, Ohio south of Cleveland. After two decades in the Direct Mail industry, working my way up the corporate ladder to Vice President, I lost my job in late 2012. I am an entrepreneur at heart and decided to start my own company rather than relocate and continue to make other people wealthy.

Other than my own residences, I have no experience in Real Estate and none whatsoever as an investor and flipper. I have family who've been in real estate their entire careers, and it feels like a good fit. I read J Scott's BP The Book on Flipping Houses, and now I'm ready to rock and roll.

I'd like to rehab four properties this year and build the business to the point where I am making more money then I did as Vice President.

At BP, I'd like to find education, opportunities, networking with those in the biz, and most of all MOTIVATION.
