Engelo – good stuff mate, keep on being aggressive with the marketing and communication, stay aussie and try to take the above from whoever he is constructively.

My only constructive feedback is button up the shirt bro!

Whether Toledo is right or not, i’m not right to comment.

Cheers, Ivan

Thanks for your comment Ivan,

Your comment is much appreciated.

Nothing beats hard work, sacrifice and persistence. I thrive on criticism as it molds you to do better.

There is an old European saying

“When a good horse gallops, it leaves a lot of dust behind it.”

Thanks and have a great day.

For Gods sake find a videographer who can teach you some basic video compilation skills because the ones you make suck! I absolutely hate the slit type view. They invented panorama for a reason!! Everything I and others view on these days is 16:9. Why oh why would I want to waste 2/3 of my screen view to blur and its ten times worse on a phone screen…doh! The other thing that sucks, and I think you caught it off your mate Nathan, is your always in the middle of the shot. Your not the subject so get out of there. Shot your focal points and then clip them together and voice it over(You get better sound wink wink). If you want your mug in the thing do an intro or summary.

Now Grasshopper you know you’re my favorite young gun so if you don’t start listening to your elders I’m going to have to come over and slap your ears. Hint; listen to Jay. Get out of Pitsville and go do some serious entrepreneuring like your capable of. Right now you remind me of those 3rd world kids picking over the local rubbish dump.

Guys like Trump didn’t make their coin picking over left overs in a dying rust belt town.

Hi Catinthehat,

Thanks for your comment and your critique is taken on board. I have actually printed your comment out and will review and address in more detail.

Keep costs at a minimum and drive revenue was advice I was given a while ago. This is the main focus at the moment.

Once the revenue kicks in it won’t be a problem to do the all the things you mentioned.

I am looking to get 3 new more people on board as soon as possible and one of them will need to be able to look after everything tech related.

Once again thanks for your critique and have a great day.

I have no dog in this hunt…. Engelo I am going to put you on the spot here… a 13k home by definition in the US is usually not a strong B class asset LOL….

does not mean its a bad deal however I think anyone who has read anything I have written over he last years knows my stance on these types of properties.

Engelo I have a few words of advice for you.. ONE you need to go to California LA specific why your hanging out in Toledo OH of all places … Go West young man… deals are there but you also have the female of the species ad at your age that’s were you want to be LA not Toledo.. I am an old gezer but you my friend need to move on.

Hey Jay,

You need to come and visit us and see the market here. I am sure you would be impressed with a few zip codes we are investing in.

There is this great steakhouse called Mancy’s. I feel like a Don whenever we go there. Has a Mafiaso feeling about it haha

I love the spot light Jay, how could I not with such a pretty face like mine hahhaha (cough cough face for radio lol)

To answer your question regarding the $13,000. It is definitely not a $13,000 house even in its current condition.

Its one of those deals where we have an older uneducated couple that just want out of the deal due to quite a bit being owed in back taxes.

Also, those 2 comps are not a camouflage as the buyers are home owners and not foreign companies or investors.

Also, if you guys google “Toledo” you will find that its been voted over the years one of the most affordable markets for price to wage ratio and also high rents so this could also cloud your judgment on the low price.

Still not a done deal. I heard back they want more $$$

I guess not so uneducated after all haha

I know what your saying but I didn’t move to the US to go through all visa dramas and restrictions plus being away from family for a better lifestyle. It was a pure business decision and a lot was sacrificed and invested. I might as well move back to Sydney then as its much better back home then the West Coast IMO lollol

There will be plenty of time to enjoy later down the track. Still need to pay my dues :)

I am a bit over feeling like Brad Pitt every time I speak also hahaha

I prob spend 2hrs a day talking about where I am from and if Kangaroos jump around downtown in Aus haha

Ohhh yeah and the snakes and spiders

geeezzzz

leave me alone people

Crocodile Dundee much???
lol

Thanks guys and have a great day.

Thanks Jeff,

Great post.

Our model has changed quite a bit from the previous years.

We rarely work with Australian investors these days.

We work with quite a few Canadian investors and there are many Californian investors buying in the Midwest.

We, also started working in a slightly higher end market than before and cater rehabs to owner occupiers believe it or not.

Yes, owner occupiers lollol

Thanks for reading and feel free to reach out if your ever in Ohio.

Have a great day.
