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 

Don't agree one bit with that statement and Im getting a feeling that most people in this thread are inflating the struggles I've been facing.

Feel free to reach out for some contacts/recommendations.Samuel to the rescue!

I have a deal on a triplex in Spokane, and i feel it is a good deal, does anybody have time to answer some questions?

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

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

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

So much fan love sounds and feels extremely odd.

Being nearby allows you to stay hands-on—you can see, touch, and fully immerse yourself in the process.There’s a lot to learn, not just about managing rentals but also about overseeing property management companies.Handling tenants and maintenance can feel overwhelming at times, but starting with a property close to home gives you the opportunity to gain valuable experience.

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.
