R2R I initially had great opinions of but the buyers the work with have a lot of issues. we had a new build in contract all the way to the end in newark ohio where intel is going in for the bottom 2% of new builds in our market at 200k buyers flaked last day and they threatened to not work with us just to give the earnest money back. we build homes in partnerships so my hands are tied but from that as well as the really bad florida issues over in Lehigh acres with rent to retirement of homes not getting built I'd recommend investors bypass and save the money. they take 15k per house that we sell almost 10% more than any realtor ever takes. we did all the work, met with buyers the whole time talked every week. find your own builders direct and bypass all the fees and save money.
