The Real Estate Investors Association (REIA) of Toledo is an organization dedicated to promoting the welfare and education of real estate investors. As part of developing this welfare and education, REIA of Toledo has partnered with the Toledo Northwestern Ohio Food Bank in fighting hunger in Northwest Ohio.

Members from REIA help solicit house donations, rehab the homes (if applicable) and sell the house on behalf of the Food Bank. The Metropolitan Title Company provides the title work as an in-kind donation for this program. The proceeds from the houses are donated to the Toledo Northwestern Ohio Food Bank.

The first house, donated by John Ulmer and the Westhaven Group, provided REIA with a challenging rehab project. The house needed new windows, a hot water heater, siding and carpet. With the help of many volunteers and donations from area businesses, REIA was able to meet the challenge. The proceeds from the auction of this house were donated to the Toledo Northwestern Food Bank.

The second house donated, by Donald Turner and REIA was able to sell this house after very little rehab work was completed. Once again, the proceeds were donated to the Food Bank. A third house was recently donated to by Capital City Finance, Ltd. REIA sold this house quickly after acquiring it. The proceeds were again donated to the Food Bank to fight hunger in Northwest Ohio.
