Hey Nathan,I am trying to compile a list of reputable investments groups, any suggestions besides DeRosa and Wellings?

Earlier in the year, I started compiling data on other markets-> landlord friendly, population increase, economy expanding and diversified etc.

Hi Chok,I hope you had a great New Years Eve and start to 2020.I was able to briefly connect with the PM team and they are currently compiling all logs/information on the rehabs and maintenance.It will just come down to how far you want to take this but since you have moved on to a new property manager and caused our company enough damage with negative reviews across all online portals, I suggest not turning this into another saga or "keyboard cowboy" back and forth correspondence.The numbers on our end are showing you earning around a 6% "year after year" net return on investment for the 2 years that you have owned the properties (I have also discounted some since you have owned 1 property for 8 months longer than the other).This is a bit below our average of 8%.Also, the price that you have paid is lower than the price that we sell similar properties for now.So there has also been a slight appreciation.Claiming that you have lost money just isn't true.I've said it before many times and I'll say it again.Owning 1 or 2 properties in the Toledo market is just not going to deliver the desired result for any investor.In fact, I believe the same can be said for any market nationwide.Building a large portfolio (10+ properties) is a must and it also minimizes the risk.Just look at the great income you have earned on one of your rentals over a 2 year period.It's a shame that your opinion has changed of our company as only 10 short months ago you posted a very nice review on Ohio Cashflow (See in the attached).I guess maybe the new property manager had something to do with changing your view but that's how it usually goes with other companies that consider us competition.A much better way of resolving any issues that you have been experiencing would have been to contact me personally (Even though Lonna is my "right hand" when it comes to Ohio Cashflow's operation and I have full confidence in her as our oldest employee).We keep our operation intentionally small for the purpose of giving every investor our utmost and undivided attention and for everyone to able speak to me personally whenever they desire.As Account Closed and even you in your above review have already mentioned. 

This thread and the links to all the "how to build buyers list" posts compilated by Steve were all started many years ago.

I have been taking all book recommendations and compiling a list and have started working my way through those as well.My question to the veterans in the industry is, how can I best prepare myself for the road ahead?

The college grads I hired -most would've been selected without a college degree.Both authors are from world of academics, but that isn't where the Book info- One gained his Book info from interviewing successful people and compiling it into averages etc.

I’m going to try and compile some info on the government programs in case you need it.

Actually starting to compile more solid numbers, so next time I'll be more informed on cost and my budget.

Thank you for compiling such a comprehensive list Brian.My own choices have substantial overlap with yours.

Well compiled!
