this is what we build and we do it with newbies but make sure you partner with a builder who has experience and a track record.

The 5-10 it gets heavier and a lot busier, and 10-15-20 it really is untenable to self-manage especially if this is not you main business like a person buying their own rentals and building it like a small business. 

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 

Hi,Thanks everyone for the input.I just checked back and a 1099 was issued, and we paid the taxes.

For example we helped a client acquire a $1.5M oceanfront home that is pushing $180-200K per year and a $875k home (with no water feature) generating $125k gross revenue annually

They are always leased here even for the corporate stations where they have a convenience store, a Popeyes or the like and a car wash.

i also help with the set up, hosting and finding cleaners  I make it a one stop shop and the process makes it seamless and a sure thing with making money and keeping costs down.  

And again, keep this to a single page, or at most a page and a half.

Buying rental properties is investing in a business and a place to make your money and time work for you.

-Getting the package to the city was congruent with (and a little ahead of) my expected timeframe.
