Thanks @Don Taylor, let me know what you think!!!

Hello everyone! 

I am a real estate investor, the BiggerPockets community has helped me scale from 0 to nearly 40 units over the past year and a half. 

I also own an insurance agency where I exclusively work with other real estate investors. 

I've just written a book that covers the basics on insurance that every real estate investor should know. You can see the book on Amazon here, it is actually the #1 New Release in Business Insurance!

Specifically for the BP Community, I'll be giving away the Ebook for free to the first 100 investors. You can use this link to get the ebook e-mailed to you! 

Let me know if you find the book helpful, and feel free to reach out for any reason, especially to talk real estate! 

I am currently only licensed in the following states: Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Maryland.

Hello,

I’d highly recommend Joe Lucas.

He should pop up on a quick Google search.

Hey @Mark Rocha! I’m a huge fan of Dayton...all of my properties are here and so am I! I am a but biased, but I don’t think there is currently a better market than Dayton. Great returns, appreciation, and high demand for rentals. 

Let me know what I can help with, I’d be more than happy to tell you everything I know and share the resources I have.

Solid work @Andre' Arceneaux! Thanks for investing in OH...we need all the help we can get :)

Hey @James Taylor,

I'm a bit south in the Dayton market. However, I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you have or connect you with those that are familiar with the market. 

@Sammy Lyon may have some good information for you as well. 

Congrats! That’s awesome!

Just out of curiosity, why don’t you think Lowe’s or Home Depot aren’t the best options? 

I’m not too knowledgeable in this area. I have three open rehab projects at the moment, however, I use contractors. I’m using two different contractors, one is using Lowe’s and the other Home Depot.

The contractor that is doing two of the rehabs, he told me that he gets 30% off at Lowe’s if he orders all of his materials through an employee he has a good relationship with. Consequently, he ordered all the materials for both homes at once.

The guy that is using Home Depot has spent a few hours having Lowe’s and Home Depot price match each other.

Again, I don’t have a dog in this fight, and I don’t understand the accounts either of these places have for contractors. 

I’ve just never heard of anyone using anything other than those two. I suppose I’ve used one person in the past that used Menards...but that is an Ohio specific place, I think?

Anyway, I’d really love to hear about where you end up getting your materials!

@Darius Burgan great work on closing on your first deal! That one always seems to be the hardest. It's hard to know what you don't know. So, great job on pulling the trigger and deciding to test the waters. 

I'd also love to pick your brain on the digital marketing side!

I can help. I’ll PM you.

Yes, I think you should list them as an additional interest and then list the bank as the mortgagee.

Feel free to call me if you’d like.
