It would be hard to cash flow on a 600k house that has 3600 in rent regardless of the broader economic situation going on in society. i find that when someone says BRRR doesn't work anymore they end up meaning it doesn't work well for the specific types of real estate that they want to buy.

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 

Quote from @Patricia Via: It's hard to answer without knowing all the specifics. 

Hey Deirdre,To address your questions:Providing freedom by handling day-to-day operations.Offering peace of mind through proactive maintenance and tenant communication.Reducing risks by staying ahead of legal requirements, tenant screening, and dispute resolution.Enhancing the bottom line by identifying cost-saving opportunities while ensuring tenant satisfaction to reduce turnover.Is the experience still important when the property thrives financially?

Maybe I am not seeing the full picture but any specifics you could share that they would bring to the table? 

I had specifically asked for numbers including mortgage payments and they emailed to me.

I recommend honing in on one specific strategy to get started and then go from there.

You could give them a thousand bad reviews, if they are the only person in town offering a specific type of product, people will still do business with them.

We have no control of the condition of your property, if the value will appraise at where you feel it will appraise at, selecting specific appraisers, making sure the title to your property is free of any liens/judgements, what the title company will charge you, how much the AMC will charge you for an appraisal, what your property taxes will be, how much your insurance will cost you, and the list goes on.. 

Quote from @Joshua Janus: Cleveland, Ohio is a great market to focus on for cash flow and specific pockets have gone up 2x and upwards of 4x in the last 5-10 years even!
