Still, my soft heart left my head feeling pretty rough, like a "failure".I don't think with your experience and 17(!)

Hope that helps, and feel free to reach out if you want to dive into this more!

There will be moments when challenges feel insurmountable—deals that fall apart, difficult contractors, financial struggles—but the only way to succeed is to persevere.

I'm currently with an investment brokerage but my end goal is to be an investor and feel the big shoes my parents are leaving me with! 

I'm lucky to have a motivated client/investor that wants to work with me, and I feel a tremendous amount of responsibility to take care of that trust and 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 

Feel free to DM me.

Perhaps we can meet up one day indeed, I'll be here for a while - feel free to reach out if ever want to grab some coffee!

Or if your'e living in it would you feel comfortable in that area. 

I live in a lower-income area, so I figure that the better tenants you will get with a safe house, the ongoing safety the tenants feel, and the lowered risk of a break-in (when occupied or vacant getting ready to lease), and reduced headaches/vacancy/potential damage are worth the marginal up-front cost of having it installed.
