.: Investors Beware: My Costly Experience with Rent to Retire (RTR)I strongly advise against blindly trusting the data provided by turn-key investment providers, including Rent to Retire (RTR).I invested in a property in Texas City, TX through RTR, and it has been a financial disaster.

I blindly invested in an overpriced 3BD SFH in Cahokia Heights, IL April 2024 and have been carrying costs since then!

(Getting a PE involved in requesting and certifying foundation work wasn't cheap!) 

From my best understanding, the city zoning committee seems to turn a blind eye to it (due to the need for housing for students).
