In my estimation it takes 2-5 years before a rental is broken in and feels like a good investment. 

thanks for your time and help rent to retirement works directly with build to rent developers like us around the country once they are framed up. you are buying properties pretty much at market value but with a hand holding. you can work directly with a builder or directly with them. they are just an intermediary. they take 5% on what we make as a builder but have a large list of investors and a systemized approach to selling new builds. if you want to get a better deal I'd recommend directly contacting builders and building it yourself. fly to the market. spend 2 days, tour new builds, get a feeling for how it's going. if your builder isn't building multiple at a time then I wouldn't recommend working with them. rent to retirement is a well oiled and well run machine. they've had their ups and downs with dozens of transactions in florida but modified their process. they are well known and established and transparent. if you have a more specific market and feel confident in your ability to vet deals try it out. happy to talk more my info is in my signature. we work directly with them to sell new builds and no organization is perfect but I have good things to say about them as a builder and potential build to rent developer that sells build to rent triplexes and single family homes through them to end buyers in California like the Bay Area, Los Angeles, and San Diego 

Quote from @Dominic Mazzarella: I know how you feel because I was in a similar situation about a decade ago.

I've read J Scott's Books on flipping and gone through the Youtube rabbit hole but I feel like I'm missing a piece.

Run through some of the features you will need like setting up a property, moving in a tenant, receiving rent payments, and publishing online applications.Pay attention to which platform feels the best to you as you perform these functions.

So much fan love sounds and feels extremely odd.

I've got a lot of problems with the Mayor, but this, I feel was a great move.

We have about 1/3 to 1/2 of a down saved at the moment, have a 755 Credit score, and are feeling good.

If anyone has any questions or is open to discussing further, please feel free to let me know!
