“I have been an investor for over 30 years. I have made and lost significant amounts of money in the stock market. Three years ago I decided that I needed to diversify a portion of my 401K in a fixed income investment. After a tremendous amount of research I decided to invest with Oakridge Investment Group. This has been a “hassle free” investment. The monthly payments have been deposited like clockwork and OIG has worked with me to insure that all paperwork is properly documented so that I do not have problems with the IRS. The absolute best thing about this investment with OIG is that the principle will never go down! I could not be happier with my investment.”
M. Christensen – Member of Reia – Investor
“Our house is a very, very fine house.” Those are the words from an old ballad from the sixties that sums up our feelings for our home on Grantly here in Toledo. Not in our wildest expectations did we ever think it possible that we would own such a marvelous structure as we now line in! We were fortunate enough to locate it prior to remodeling. You tailor made this home for us as though you were part of our family. During the entire remodeling our opinion was sought on every aspect of construction. Every time we visited the house, your staff was genuinely interest in satisfying us. It was apparent even then, that the finished product would be a show place. From the very remodeling of the bathroom and the power washing of the exterior to the very details of the landscaping, you permitted our ideas to blend with your expertise to make it the jewel of the block. All of our questions during the transaction were promptly answered and our concerns were readily addressed. We thank you again for the opportunity to give us a residence that we will cherish the rest of our lives.”
Jeanne and Bob Trottier, Proud Homeowners – Grantly Rd.- Toledo, OH
“As I mentioned to friends that my husband and I were looking to buy a new home, many responded, “Oh, this is a great time to buy; it is a buyer’s market.” What they did not realize is that while there are numerous homes for sale right now, many are not in good shape and need a great deal of work – more than we had the time and resources to give. I was becoming discouraged because we couldn’t seem to find a house that was in good shape and affordable. However, we looked at a house that Oakridge had for sale, and our search was finally done! Oakridge had remodeled this house; it was everything we had been looking for, and it was in our price range. As a first-time home buyer, I was unprepared for the numerous details that must be accounted for in a house purchase. However, Oakridge supported us through the entire process. They attended to all the details in the house, answered the questions, cooperated with the bank to take care of all the paperwork and worked quickly to help us get into our new home as soon as possible. I was impressed with their attention to detail and quality of work. Through Oakridge, we found a house we are proud to call home.”

“We want to Thank You for making this dream possible for us! We were living in an apartment and decided we needed more room. We began to ride around west Toledo looking for homes. We found a few that we liked and they were lease-option homes from Oakridge Investments. What impressed us most was the appearance, quality and cleanliness of the homes. We were able to move in and not have to “fork out” any additional costs. The staff was friendly and professional, Mick and Ryan set up credit counseling for us and a mortgage broker. They were effiecient and wonderful to work with. Our dream of owing a home became a reality within 6 months! I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Thanks again OIG!”
(Thank you basket from Rhonda and Ken.)
Ken and Rhonda Walker, Proud Homeowners – Toledo, OH
“I looked at several other Lease Option homes before I bought from Oakridge Investments. The quality of the home is what impressed me most! The staff was also very friendly and I appreciated them answering all my questions and explaining the paperwork clearly. I was very new with Lease Options and I felt real comfortable with the lease process after meeting with Ryan and Mick. I am very happy with OIG and I would highly recommend them to my friends and family. Another thing is that they have helped me correct my credit and have been very patient with me throughout the whole process!”
R. Buck, Southview – Toledo, OH
“Home Depot has worked with the Oakridge Investment family for many years. I feel the company is very professional in all business dealings. As the Home Depot Supervisor I have much respect for the staff and the people operating the business. Oakridge knows the remodeling business well and I have witnessed first hand from start to finish in many of their rehabs….they do a “phenomenal job!”

“Oakridge has been a very good customer to deal with in my end of the business. Their field supervisor and myself have a solid working relationship and when issues arise we brainstorm to solve the problem in the best way for both parties. We have never had a billing issue! They are a rock solid account.”
Store Manager
“When looking for a company to buy and sell properties with, Oakridge Investment Group is an outstanding choice for your personal interest. I personally have worked very closely with OIG and find them to be above reproach. Never in the many years of working with these individuals have I questioned or needed to question their integrity.”
“It takes a lot of knowledge and courage to stand out in the Real Estate business and OIG has what it takes to do just that. Due to the fact that I furnish title and closing services for OIG, I see all aspects of their business. The buyers that they sell their homes to are elated about their purchases. The sellers that sell their homes to OIG are dealt with fairly and concisely. OIG is able to provide a service that is needed both in our community and to the individuals that are in need of buying and selling real estate.”
Donald J. Newman – President of Greater Metropolitan Title
“My dealings with the owners of Oakridge Investments started way back in 2003 when my husband became disabled and had very little credit. They sat me down and set up a plan for us to become homeowners and repair our credit at the same time. They were very concerned with our happiness as well as making a sale. When it came time to finance out they walked us through the whole process. In July 2006 we became first time home owners and there is no doubt that this would not have been possible if not for their help and professionalism. In fact maybe you saw my husband on the front page of the business section in the March 25, 2007 edition of the Blade discussing the great help we received! Thanks again!”

“I view Oakridge Investments from a different perspective. See I work for them as a handyman. It has always amazed me the quickness in which they respond to the FAMILIES (that’s how they see them, as families, not just tenants) in their homes. No matter how big of problem or simple of problem they may have they send me or someone else to look at it and take care of it. They really do want all the families to be safe and pleased with their home. They go the proverbial extra mile no matter how much extra there is. I am proud to be apart of them!”
Pastor Jeff – Handyman

Mrs. Antoinette Marman, Boydson – Toledo, OH

“Hi, my name is Renee and I am working on becoming an OIG home buyer! I’m really glad that I chose OIG to do business with. They are really up front about what’s going on and they keep me updated about what’s taking place to help me purchase my home. I have looked at lots of homes before choosing the home I currently live in. I am very satisfied with the home and it was very nice and clean inside and out. The management was very friendly with me and my family. I would rate OIG a 10 because that’s how they were to me!”

Let me start by saying that dealing with Oakridge Investments, formerly Lakeshore Homes has truly been, not only profitable and pleasurable, but most of all a secure method of investment.
