Looking for ways to expand my network as well as possible job opportunities. 

Consider cleaning, lawn care, snow removal and supplies as well as utilities  in your calculations.  

I remember being 30 minutes into a call and him saying “alright well I don’t know what else we have to talk about.”

I am learning in the real estate business as well but in the Kentucky/Tennessee Market!

Based on rent of $1,695, I think you'll be lucky to get an appraised value of $160k with a CoC return well under 2%.

It's possible as well that many of Grocapitus' investors are simply not on BP.

Having a local trusted partner to manage your investment properties is key as well. 

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 

I attended the RALA 3-day training in Phoenix and took a couple of online courses as well, and while I found these courses to be very valuable in helping get a clearer understanding of the space and what it might take to be successful, I eventually I found it most beneficial to bring in a partner/advisor who has built residential assisted living facilities here in Texas and has been running them successfully.

I work with investors in Huntsville, and there are big things heating up here, as well.
