I recently embarked on a rental property investment journey with Rent to Retirement in Ocala, Florida, and the experience has been nothing short of outstanding. The team's professionalism and expertise guided me seamlessly through the entire process. Tommy Brown started me with the process from getting in contact with the lender to get pre approved then the builder. The turnkey properties showcased a meticulous selection, aligning perfectly with my investment goals. Ocala's real estate market can be challenging to navigate, but Rent to Retirement's insights and local knowledge proved invaluable. Communication was prompt, transparent, and personalized, making me feel confident and informed at every step. From the initial consultation to ongoing support, the team's dedication to client success sets them apart in the realm of real estate investment. Today was the final closing and I am excited with my first Duplex investment, and the peace of mind that comes with Rent to Retirement's comprehensive approach. If you're considering rental property investment look no further – Rent to Retirement has all the good inventories.

Rent to Retirement has surpassed all my expectations so far. I've never purchased property before as I live in a very expensive city. I wanted to try investing out-of-state but it all appeared much too daunting for me. Rent to Retirement made it easy- they connected me with a great seller who flips homes out of state, as well as the loan officers I needed to finance my purchase. It was such a straightforward and painless experience. I imagined buying a house would be very difficult, especially a rental property in another state, but they made is so easy and seamless. Now I'm a landlord with a cashflowing asset! Yay! I'm one step closer to retirement, thanks to RTR.

I am in my 30s and have been looking to take that first step into investing in real estate. To say I was nervous would be an understatement. I contacted the team (most specifically, Adam) at RTR very frequently throughout the process, and everyone was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also helpful; no one ever made me feel dumb for not knowing the real estate lingo. I closed on my property mid-August. From start to finish, the purchase of my investment property was seamless. They have everything set up in a step wise fashion to make it very easy to navigate for a novice investor. Adam was absolutely great to work with and I am looking forward to working him again soon for another property. I have the bug!

Prior to 2019 I purchased two rentals on my own, learning along the way. Looking back, almost anything was a winner in those times. Finding deals has become more and more difficult. Thanks to Adam I've closed on another property in an out of state market that I would not have found on my own. The builder and lender I purchased through were great and it was the easiest close I've had out of 4 properties. As I prepare for my next investment he continues to offer options through his connections and network that I would never find via traditional searches. What I appreciate most is the no pressure approach, Adam offers deals and if its something I want more information on he is there to answer whether I commit or not. Looking forward to working with R2R on future purchases.

With no exaggeration, Rent to Retirement is likely the best thing that has happened to my family. My wife and I are both active-duty service members with three young kids and have no time to develop a path to set conditions for our military retirements in five and seven years. Their turn-key strategy is perfect for our hectic lifestyle. They provided us with glide path options based on our specific short- and long-term goals and provided all the analysis and projections. Rent to Retirement connected us with the finest teams of professionals, tax strategists, lenders, and an outstanding property managerial company. I contacted Adam a few months ago, and today, we own our first property and are setting up to purchase the second in September. Rent to Retirement is coaching us as we go, and most importantly, we can dedicate our time to serving our country and raising our kids at our full potential. From the bottom of our hearts, thanks.

I recently purchased a property with rent to retirement and things were a little bumpy, but Scott was more than willing to help me along the way. If the rent did not come out to within a percentage of the projected rent RtR was willing to fill in with rental gap assistance for the first year to keep my mind at ease. At the end of the day we ended up renting the unit for what was projected. The selling team was able to add a couple appliances and screen door at the request of the new tenant and they took care of the request with no out of pocket expenses for me! Keep in mind this was well after closing on the house. I can’t thank Scott and the team enough for making what was a difficult situation into a positive one!

I am a new property investor with Rent To Retirement. My first SFD home purchase closed in February 2022 in Indiana. That was a very smooth process with the seller---in fact the property was already rented by the time I closed escrow! My second property had a few hiccups before and after closing, but RTR and the owner had my back to make things right when the new air conditioning unit installed wasn't working well. Thank you RTR and Maddy in Independence MO for making things right for me and my tenants! My third purchase in Birmingham, Alabama went well until we discovered (after closing) that the property had an illegal septic system! Scott from RTR and the seller worked together to install a whole new system--no cost to me--to the tune of $8500!!! Words and thanks cannot express my gratitude to RTR for having my back and making the situation right. Thank you Scott Lundgren and RTR for all you have done for me!!

I too hope to be a R2R success story in the Cape Coral area. Last year I became aware of the R2R company and took the leap and investing in the Cape Coral new build opportunities. Even though there has been many delays things are finally moving and my permits have been approved. When I had questions early in Zach personally reached out and offered to set up calls and provide all the assistance he could. I truly appreciate that. One of the reasons I decided to work with R2R over other Turnkey companies was the family environment/culture. I didn't feel like just a number. They provide education for free and guidance through-out the process. This was a no brainer and clearly an opportunity to attain generational wealth with a concierge.

Hello all, My name is Ruchit Patel, and I was/am just another young and clueless (in REI) kid in America, trying to dream financial independence. Somehow ended up having a call with Eric from the random website on the internet, and it's been a blessing since then. I can bet that no one emails or calls more than me to Eric, and for around 1000 email and 100 phone calls with him, he never lost patience and have been perfect professional with my every question, no matter how dumb those are. I have been working with him/RTR since March of 2021, and I didn't sign the first contract till August. Even though I wasn't buying anything through him for the first few months, nothing has changed in his attitude towards my question. He and RTR are definitely men of their word. They are true to their values. I think RTR is scaling fast last year, and soon not everyone will have the opportunity to have frequent 1on1 with Eric. I suggest any Joe on street aspiring to achieve financial freedom, better call Eric/RTR. Thank you, Ruchit

Eric has been a pleasure working with since . I like bouncing my ideas of him and he has been instrumental in helping me "build my team" as a long distance investor. Purchased 6-plex and in contract to buy 4 more new builds through rent-to-retirement. I have worked with Eric since about the summer of 2021. Even more importantly, I suffer from "shiny object" syndrome and am very impatient in wanting to get more and move fast. Eric has been a calm force and advised me (on numerous occasions) on why a particular buy would not be a good fit for me (these were the RTR inventory options we were looking at). This has a been a great litmus test for me as I feel he genuinely wants us to succeed and is directing us towards what would best accomplish our particular goals. Highly recommend Eric Winkler.

Matthew Seyoum, Investment Strategist at RTR has provided exceptional support throughout my journey from searching for a rental property to closing the deal. His efficiency was remarkable, demonstrated by his prompt and concise responses. He understood my objectives well and made suggestions that perfectly matched my desires in terms of good value, favorable rates, and positive cash flow. Matthew also served as a reliable sounding board when situations arose during the home inspection. For my first property, the appraisal came in $25,000 lower than expected, which initially concerned me. However, Matthew reminded me of my long-term investment objective and assured me that the property would appreciate in value, given the strong real estate market in Alabama. His reassurance gave me the confidence and clarity to proceed with closing the deal, despite the bumps along the way. Tomorrow, I will close on this property, and I have another property set to close at the end of the month. Thank you, Matthew, for your unwavering support at each step! Thank you, RTR, for providing excellent and valuable services from start to finish, making it easy and effortless for out-of-state investors to own income-producing rental properties.

He answered every question we had, helped guide us to other people to add to our team, and he wasn’t afraid to tell us no on properties that didn’t fit our buy box, and was transparent about various areas and tenant laws etc. As a woman, I have to say we have been used to men in the industry talking over us and trying to taking advantage- assuming we are uninformed and that I would buy their “blinker fluid” they were trying to sell. It is a breathe of fresh air to find a company that has core values and is trustworthy. Our 16 year old daughter now checks the inventory list with me and we are excited about our next properties to come. We wouldn’t hesitate to refer anyone to R2R.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Cori Zigman from Rent to Retirement and Steve, the local provider in Akron, OH, and I can't recommend them highly enough. Cori provided me with exceptional market analysis that helped me make an informed decision on my second rental property purchase in Akron. Her expertise and attention to detail were truly outstanding. Cori's communication is wonderful and she is always willing to answer the phone to talk things through. Steve, the local provider in Akron, was a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond to help me throughout the purchasing process. His knowledge of the local real estate market was truly impressive, and his guidance was invaluable. The work he does to renovate the properties is top-notch and really made my investment stand out. Thanks to their efforts, I was able to secure an excellent property that has already exceeded my expectations. In fact, I was able to get $250 more in monthly rent over the estimated amount, which is truly impressive. Overall, I highly recommend Cori Zigman and Steve to anyone looking to invest in real estate in Akron, OH. They are true professionals who are dedicated to their clients and always willing to go the extra mile.

Rent To Retirement (RTR) is great and trustworthy. The business is well run, they go way beyond what a typical turn key operator does, and their help has been invaluable. I had a little bit of experience in real estate buying, owning, and renting out properties in my own LLC for a couple of years prior to getting re-started with the help of RTR. Now I'm closing on a good SFH rental through them that fulfills my goals in a way that makes sense for me financially. Folks at RTR worked with me, had conversations and emails with me that were very in depth. They worked hard to understand my business goals, and provided solutions that work perfectly for my business. Their incentives are aligned with my own, so it's a win-win situation, which is how I like to conduct business with folks. I even learned way more than I knew before about setting up the right business structures, and I already knew quite a bit before. I still do investments on my own as well, but RTR will definitely be a long term ongoing partnership that I value and which I find indispensable. I'm 100% certain I will do more deals through them in the future. They've provided the business value and knowledge that is allowing me to progress faster than I would have been able to on my own. It also has been enjoyable getting to know the RTR folks and work with them throughout this process. Any penny spent through or with them is a penny well spent in my opinion.

My new business partner and I used RTR to acquire our first out of state property and I couldn’t be happier. We approached Adam with questions about a few markets on their inventory list and were pleasantly surprised when he gave us very honest feedback about each of them and the teams on the ground. Anytime we asked for market comps or additional pictures or information he was quick to get those to us. He put us in touch with a great financing. Our property was in OH and the team on the ground there was also fabulous. Inspection came back and without even asking the team in OH requested our inspection and went in and took care of everything. The appraisal came in low and they met us in the middle. They had vertical integration with PM and they got the duplex rented right before Christmas above our projected rents. Just been an absolute pleasure working with RTR and I look forward to doing more deals with them.

I recently partnered up with a long-time friend to start our real estate investment journey. As our local market is quite expensive, my partner suggested we look into RTR for a potential out of state property. We immediately were able to start digesting properties from their list and identify a few that were within our budget and met our investment strategy. We then had a discussion with Adam, who gave us surprisingly unbiased feedback on the various markets and properties we were considering. We ultimately landed on a duplex in Ohio, and closed in less than 30 days. RTR was there to support at each step, including helping us negotiate with the seller when the appraisal came in slightly lower than expected. This really is top notch service and a really easy first step into the real estate investing world. We plan to utilize RTR for our next property in the coming months. I've already recommended RTR to a close friend of mind, and would not hesitate doing so to others.

There are no shortage of glowing reviews for Rent to Retirement (RTR) here on Bigger Pockets. As you can see from the numerous posts below, they are known for their top-notch customer care, which was what initially attracted me to them when selecting my first turnkey operator. I'm glad to report that my experience with the Rent to Retirement team in the time since has been nothing short of stellar. If you’re reading this in your due diligence phase, I don’t want to waste your time with a repeat of anything you’ve already read, so I’ll skip ahead to some specific examples from my own experience that I think best illustrate just how much the RTR team cares about ensuring an excellent customer experience. After a couple of meetings with Zach, he introduced me to Adam Schroeder, who’s one of RTR's investment advisors. Much like Zach, he cares a lot about teaching his clients and making time to meet with them (even on short notice) despite his busy schedule. When I decided which market to make my OOS entry in, Adam connected me with their general contractor/flipper who operates exclusively in that market because he loves the area and has been living and investing there for much of his life. Prior to going under contract, the general contractor was always happy to answer questions about his market, and when it later came time for a review of the inspection reports, he was more than fair in addressing my "punch list” (the list of items you’d like to see addressed prior to the purchase). RTR is a great company, but no matter how polished a team is, no one can promise a totally smooth ride. Things will always go awry. The real measure of a great turnkey provider then is how far they’ll go to stand by their product and their values - how hard they’ll work to earn your trust no matter the cost. I am happy to report that when the chips were down, RTR more than exceeded my expectations in this regard… Immediately after my tenants moved into one of my properties, an unexpected and extremely costly capital expenditure reared it’s head. The sewer line coming from the street was severely blocked by tree roots and needed to be dug up and replaced. For my part, being a newbie to this process, I learned a valuable lesson and will never let my inspector ignore the sewer line ever again! Another turnkey provider may have said “Sorry, tough luck! This is your problem.” But not Zach and his team. They knew that this huge repair would have annihilated my cashflow for years to come, so they stepped in to cover the cost of the repair. I think this experience alone speaks volumes about what type of team this is and how they stand by their houses and that they are invested in YOUR success. I now own two properties though RTR and am so glad that I decided to work with them.

When I had questions early in Zach personally reached out and offered to set up calls and provide all the assistance he could. I truly appreciate that. One of the reasons I decided to work with R2R over other Turnkey companies was the family environment/culture. I didn't feel like just a number.

I thought my first investment home was going to be a bust, but they immediately recommended another lender to me, and this lender approved my application in one day. As the first investment home, the purchase process went pretty smoothly.

They closed on a deal a month ago and are in the process of doing another property. It's been a bit slower for me but I too am planning on buying another property with Rent to Retirement and will reach out to Eric once my capital is raised. If you are looking for a turnkey provider, reach out to Eric and his team and you won't regret it.

Scott has been excellent to work with. He has helped us in the purchase of two properties and we will continue to work with him as we build our portfolio. He is available for questions whenever we have them, and he is a great resource for general real estate investment advice as well as for access to professional markets (property managers, rehab teams, lenders, etc.) that he and his team at Rent To Retirement have built out. As an out-of-state buyer, it's critical to have a team of people you can trust - we have found that and more with Scott and Zach at Rent To Retirement.

Eric has been a true collaborator and mentor throughout my journey in buying my first rental property in 2021. With how big Rent to Retirement company has grown over the last few years, I was honestly not expecting any 1:1 customer service or quick turnaround with my myriads of questions I had as a noobie investor. Oh boy I was wrong. Eric supported me from the very moment I sent my first email to reserve my Turnkey Property to literally the last day of when I closed the property. He was super responsive in all my ad-hoc/last minute email questions/requests and also got on a quick phone call when needed. Eric and the rest of the Rent to Retirement employees truly go above and beyond in all aspects, and I truly felt like they all cared about me, especially since this was my first rental property. I can’t wait to purchase another property with Eric.

I connected with Eric through Rent to Retirement. He has been a great partner and resource as I started exploring properties in the R2R inventory. He was great at pointing out what properties may be best for someone starting out. He also shared a lot of helpful information about the new builds in the Florida area while I was considering those as well. While working on our first deal, there were some issues that showed up in the inspection. He discussed what was reasonable to fix vs. not with the seller, and we agreed it would have been okay to walk away from the deal if we didn't reach an agreement with the seller. Eric was invaluable in getting everyone on the same page and ensuring we could move forward. He was the MVP in the deal. We are also working on a new build in Cape Coral, FL, which has been a smooth process so far. Overall, Eric is a pro at what he is doing and knows the ins and outs of real estate.

Eric has been such an invaluable resource to work with!  We would highly recommend anyone to work with him that is looking for someone who genuinely cares about your personal success.  He spent countless hours with us walking through all the steps it takes to become comfortable with investing out of state for the first time.  I cannot thank him enough for the professionalism & patience he has exhibited during our interactions with him.   It seemed completely overwhelming trying to figure out how to invest in a market where we don't live, but we really didn't have a choice since our local market is too expensive to even cash flow positively.  Eric helped us understand how simple investing in different markets can be, and how the general process is the same regardless of location.  The most important factor is the team & people you work with, and that is why we feel so fortunate to have found the RTR team!  We now have our first 3 properties under our belt which are performing better than expected, and we are working on how to strategically scale up using SDIRA's, HELOCs, 1031s & other creative methods to reach our passive income goals we've been thinking about forever, but just now taking action on!   Eric, thank you so much again for all your mentorship & guidance!  We look forward to working with you for many years to come!

I've had the privilege of working with and learning from Zach Lemaster and his team at RentToRetirement for over a year now. I initially found Zach when searching for reputable turnkey companies. He had glowing reviews on BP and so I reached out. 14 months later I can say the reviews are an understatement if anything. I only wish I had reached out sooner! I currently have three investments with RentToRetirement and have referred them to friends and family members who have also benefited. These investments include a SFH in Little Rock, a build to rent new development in Cape Coral FL, and a canal lot acquisition also in Cape Coral. I've made great money on all three and plan to scale quickly with the help of Zach and his team. Zach and his team made themselves available for an initial consultation and several follow up conversations to better understand my background, investment experience, current portfolio, risk tolerance, preference for cash flow vs. appreciation, and preferred investment strategy. He helped me identify a great initial SFH investment in Little Rock, AR. The process was the definition of turnkey. A list of reputable lenders, insurance agents, home inspectors, title companies, and other stakeholders was provided and Zach and his team made themselves available for any questions along the way. It was clear Zach had found the best vendors in each aspect of the procurement process and it all operated like a well-oiled machine. There are a few things that I believe set RentToRetirement apart from other turnkey providers: #1: They operate in 10+ markets and are much more nimble. Instead of doubling down on markets that may no longer be optimal investments, Zach and his team are quick to transition to new market opportunities both with their own portfolio and that of their clients. #2: They offer more than just the traditional SFH turnkey solution. From private lending opportunities, to short-term rentals, to multi-family units, Zach and his team have opportunities THAT THEY THEMSELVES are personally invested to help investors at every stage of their real estate journey. #3: Most CEOs of successful turnkey companies offer some sort of "Master Course or Mastermind Group or Master xyz" and charge tens of thousands for the privilege. Not Zach. He has been gracious with his time, arrives promptly for every meeting, and never makes you feel rushed. For example, my Little Rock property appreciated a good deal and as part of a larger strategic conversation on scaling my portfolio, Zach helped me to see the benefit of a 1031 exchange to a new build to rent opportunity in Cape Coral, FL. #4: Zach and his team have integrity when it counts. For example, with my Little Rock property, there was a slight hiccup with the developer and a subsequent dispute over who should receive the pro-rated rent since I inherited a tenant. Zach jumped in and used his own money to compensate me while he worked out the situation with the developer. He was more concerned about our long-term relationship than the money and that meant the world to me. #5: Zach and his team focus on strategic discussions vs. just promoting more turnkey rental opportunities. Have questions on tax optimization or need to find an expert? Ask Zach. Have questions on scaling your portfolio? Ask Zach. Have questions on risk mitigation or need to find a good accountant? Ask Zach. The guy truly seems to derive great joy from helping his clients grow their own real estate portfolio in a way that helps them achieve their long-term goals. I've been on BP since 2013 devouring podcasts, blogs, and forum comments, and I can say the team at RentToRetirement are in a league of their own. I highly recommend.

A terrible deal! BUT Zach and the RTR team to the rescue! He showed me a quick fix that allowed the properties to still close so we didn't lose the buyer, minimized my tax burden, AND left me with over $125k in the bank to keep investing! The properties were excellent performing rentals while I owned them providing great cash flow & tax benefits, and have appreciated quickly allowing me to expand my portfolio & increase my overall passive income.

We've always wanted to invest in more stable asset classes like real estate, but with us having demanding full time jobs & living in an expensive market it just didn't seem realistic to invest successfully on our own. Even if we did it on our own I think it would have been done haphazardly since we really didn't have the time, or experience it would require. We appreciate all the time you've spent with us to build a solid business plan & invest in areas where we can achieve better returns.

When I saw Zach's name come across a list of reputable members, I remember screaming to my husband in excitement, "Honey, It's Zach! Our optometry friend that we met at a meeting a few years back!!!" What a small world it is indeed. I reached out to Zach instantly and in about a day we were on the phone just casually catching up and chatting about my real estate goals. He is not only smart and caring (because he is an optometrist!) - he is also very genuine in his desire to help. At first, like any newbie investor, I was drawn to the C class properties (because of the low price), Zach recommended that I focus my attention on B class properties and above, to help minimize my risks, since I am a new and out of state investor. Zach also has so many connections! He connected me to different turnkey providers as well as lenders to get my search started. I haven’t secured a property just yet, but Zach reaches out to me regularly and is always available to text/chat when I need his advice.

I would fully recommend working with Zach for anyone who is looking for guidance in building a passive income portfolio. He is an experienced investor himself, so he knows what works, and what doesn't. I've bought nine properties so far in numerous markets (all through Zach's company or affiliates). It's been pretty much a hands off experience. The management company only contacts me to get approval for larger repairs or something they need my input on. Most my tenants have stayed for multiple years so my vacancy is very low. I think this is a product of investing in the better quality neighborhoods. I like working with Zach because of his professionalism and attention to detail. He has all the right people in place to help you successfully, and painlessly build a passive income portfolio.

I found Zach through BP about 6 months ago. I am an out of country investor, looking to find some buy&hold properties. I spoke with a lot of different groups mentioned on BP (Norada, SpartanInvest, etc), but settled on Zach for a couple reasons. He explained everything to me like I was a 5 year old (upon my request!), and he didn’t try to overpromise on anything. While the other groups probably would have worked out fine, I just felt comfortable with Zach’s approach. The process was fairly painless. He sent over a few links to inventory that he is marketing, and I kept researching the areas and reviewing the links every few days. He put me in contact with a lender that I also felt comfortable with. After a couple months, I found the right SFH and put it under contract. At that point Zach handed off the details to the turn key provider (AWB in Birmingham). There were a few small hiccups here and there, but Zach was there to step in and get things settled immediately. The house appraised for a bit above the purchase price, and the loan closed on Feb 19. I put a renter in the house in June. We eventually lowered the rent $55/month from the expected rent ($1,350 to 1,295), which I am ok with, but was quite frustrating at the time. I continue to monitor properties for rent in the area, and I feel that if I was a bit more patient or did a few exterior cosmetic fixes (trim trees, etc) then I could have got the $1,350. Overall, I think Zach is a great guy to work with and I would definitely recommend him for a 1st time out of state REI.

Firstly, big THANKS to Zach for all the help! I am passionate about RE Investment and I found this great forum last year and got in touch with Zach. He is very knowledgeable, professional, and very pateiently to try to understand my goal, explain the program, process, and help me to identify the properties for me. He responds quickly to my inquiries and questions (VERY CRITICAL for remote RE investment!!). I was able to acquire 3 off-market rentals "remotely" through his helps and his financing recommendation to fund the deal. I am excited to the succesful take-off of these three properties. I look forward to work with Zach on creative financing future deals that builds from the initial three deals. Highly recommend to any new or experienced RE investors to team up with Zach to realize your REI goal!

Being very interested in investing in real estate, my wife and I basically came to a point where we realized we were just putting off investing. Probably because of the unknown. We eventually came across Zach and his team, and thought, this might be the time. Zach has maintained not only great amounts of communication, he’s also provided us with huge amounts of knowledge which gives us the confidence to move forward with purchases. So far we’ve bought two properties which Zach did an amazing job for us to break that hurdle. We are very thankful for the work and time he has put in for just us. I’m sure he is doing the same for many others just like my wife and I. Can’t wait for more to happen in the future.

I am new to real estate in the USA and my primary goal was to work with someone who could guide me through what i needed to do. I am a UK citizen and wanted to find someone in the US that I could build a solid relationship and trust with. Along came Zach………….at first I had my doubts as to what he could deliver and the support I could receive from this individual because I have been shown the same gratitude from various people who said that they can do this and they can do that and yet no one has delivered other than cheap talk. Zach has been very patient with me and has spent his time to provide me with answers to my questions and have been very satisfied with the level of support from him. He has never demanded a cent up front for services and is a straight shooter. I have purchased a property off him and being a foreign national from UK, he has provided me with a property with financing in place which was a priority rather than buying out right. Everything has come together as it should do and I am very pleased so far with the results. The proof will be in the pudding when I get a tenant for my home. This to me is very important because it’s a complete package, which I can truly put my hand on heart and say that this was well worth doing with Zach and his contacts. It has eliminated time constraints in looking for professional services as Zach has always responded to any questions and this to me is a valuable source of friendship and business. You might be reading this and think that I am a person who is affiliated with Zach and I can assure you that I am NOT!!!

But where to find those next investments? That's where I saw an ad Zach had on Bigger Pockets. We called him and he jumped right in to help and started hooking us up with other companies in Ohio and Alabama that had turnkey properties for sale, exactly what my husband and I were looking for. We are currently in the process of purchasing THREE new rental homes through Zach and his contacts with our 1031 exchange money. Zach has always extremely prompt to get back to my emails and phone calls. He is so knowledgeable and really helped us with our first 1031 exchange.

My wife and I were thinking to get into real estate since 2020 but we didn't really know how to get started. We accidentally stumbled upon a post on Bigger Pockets about Rent to Retirement around 2022. We checked out the company website and the idea of buying turn key properties was very appealing to us since we didn't know much about real estate investing. Not much later in May of 2023 we pulled the trigger and bought our first property trough RtR in Cullman Al with a 100% bank financing option. It was mind blowing how easy the whole process was. Both the team of Rent to Retirement the builders the in house management company and the referred insurance company were all making sure we understand and do right everything during the buying process. They really held our hands the whole time and took the time to answer all of our questions. After we bought the house we decided to right away open an LLC and put the rental in a trust. It felt like the right decision for us. And even for that we didn't needed to go further than RtR because they had a great partnership with Nevada Corporate Headquarters team who were just as helpful and knowledgeable as the team at RtR and made the entire legal process seamless. . Fast forward to today we are actively working with Zach and his team again on acquiring our second rental property. We are thrilled we found them and we will definitely working with them for many more years to come. We cannot recommend Rent to Retirement enough. They are the best in the business.

This is a very cool strategy!! I decided not to use Rent To Retirement to purchase my next deal. I decided that looking within my local market and learning rehab skills aligned more with my long term goals. I love this option for buyers looking to cut the difficult work out of real estate investing, or those looking to find deals in more affordable markets. I was expecting to hear some kind of subscription fee or large transaction fee when purchasing the property, but I was amazed to learn that their business model is to work as the agent, so they earn commissions just like a buyer's agent. They also offer tools and mentorship to help you gain the confidence and support for anything you could possibly need to move forward. I also love how straightforward their listings page was, and how clearly they display the necessary capital and ROI for each property. I was very impressed with this strategy, and I will continue to monitor the site for deals in case something unbeatable pops up.

I worked with Zach and Adam from R2R. I've never invested before, and was looking for a more passive way to start investing. I realized investing in my own area wasn't financially lucrative, so I reached out to several turn-key companies. R2R was the one that instilled the most trust from the get-go. I felt comfortable working with Zach and Adam, never felt like I was being pushed to purchase. Our conversations, were mostly about identifying what my goals in REI were, identifying markets, creative financial solutions, and analyzing different potential properties. The process in purchasing a house can be overwhelming but they really helped guide me. It never felt like I was being a bother either, despite my numerous questions and concerns. I was able to find a property in FL, secure it a rent back guarantee for one year and free PM for one year. On top of that, a refrigerator was included in my rental. More than that though was the fact they were able to guide me along with the Academy information on the process. It felt relatively pain-free I would say. Sometimes you have to deal with builder issues and their side of the communication but R2R generally helped me with that process so I didn't have to worry as much. I look forward to continuing my REI with R2R. Thank you.

I too hope to be a R2R success story in the Cape Coral area. Last year I became aware of the R2R company and took the leap and investing in the Cape Coral new build opportunities. Even though there has been many delays things are finally moving and my permits have been approved. When I had questions early in Zach personally reached out and offered to set up calls and provide all the assistance he could. I truly appreciate that. One of the reasons I decided to work with R2R over other Turnkey companies was the family environment/culture. I didn't feel like just a number. They provide education for free and guidance through-out the process. This was a no brainer and clearly an opportunity to attain generational wealth with a concierge. Truly grateful for Zach and his team.

I would fully recommend working with Zach for anyone who is looking for guidance in building a passive income portfolio. He is an experienced investor himself, so he knows what works, and what doesn't. I've bought nine properties so far in numerous markets (all through Zach's company or affiliates). It's been pretty much a hands off experience. The management company only contacts me to get approval for larger repairs or something they need my input on. Most my tenants have stayed for multiple years so my vacancy is very low. I think this is a product of investing in the better quality neighborhoods. I like working with Zach because of his professionalism and attention to detail. He has all the right people in place to help you successfully, and painlessly build a passive income portfolio. He's connected me with accountants, attorneys, insurance providers, prop managers, rehabbers, etc. to help me plan my retirement. He has lots of knowledge on creative deal structuring as well if that is something you're exploring. Overall I give him a 5-star recommendation, and plan to continue to invest with him for years to come!

As my local real estate is way too expensive to get started & cash flow, I began to look into markets where it made more sense. I came across Zach who helped educate me on what it takes to buy out of state. He was very transparent, responsive and knowledgeable! We feel fortunate to have him on our team, as we've already learned so much working with him. With a boosted confidence we purchased two out of state rentals almost a year ago. They are going great with only the occasional maintenance item. Zach is now assisting us to use our self-directed IRA to purchase our 3rd property, and to be closer to achieving our investment goals!

Zach just helped me close on an a 37-unit apartment complex. For a first time investor, that was a bit daunting to say the least. It would have never happened if not for Zach's sincere desire to help others to win at the real estate game. He is incredibly generous with his time and knowledge. He spent multiple hours with me to make sure all of my questions were answered and I was comfortable with the deal. The biggest thing that makes investing with Zach an absolute must, is that he leaves money in the deal for his buyers. He finds the property, does the rehab, finds the tenant, manages the property, and even lines up financing if needed. After doing all the work he would be 100% justified to also take most of the profit from the deal. but to Zach's credit, his goal isn't to flip you a turn-key property, it is to provide a profitable investment and to create a long term relationship. Perhaps, Zach recognizes that having a legion of happy buyers is better for his bottom line. Or perhaps, Zach just wants to make sure that the next guy is successful as possible. Either way, in my experience, Zach did all the work, let me keep the upside, and held my hand through every step of the process. Thanks Zach! I look forward to our next project together.

I recently embarked on a rental property investment journey with Rent to Retirement in Ocala, Florida, and the experience has been nothing short of outstanding. The team's professionalism and expertise guided me seamlessly through the entire process. Tommy Brown started me with the process from getting in contact with the lender to get pre approved then the builder. The turnkey properties showcased a meticulous selection, aligning perfectly with my investment goals. Ocala's real estate market can be challenging to navigate, but Rent to Retirement's insights and local knowledge proved invaluable. Communication was prompt, transparent, and personalized, making me feel confident and informed at every step. From the initial consultation to ongoing support, the team's dedication to client success sets them apart in the realm of real estate investment. Today was the final closing and I am excited with my first Duplex investment, and the peace of mind that comes with Rent to Retirement's comprehensive approach. If you're considering rental property investment look no further – Rent to Retirement has all the good inventories.

Rent to Retirement has surpassed all my expectations so far. I've never purchased property before as I live in a very expensive city. I wanted to try investing out-of-state but it all appeared much too daunting for me. Rent to Retirement made it easy- they connected me with a great seller who flips homes out of state, as well as the loan officers I needed to finance my purchase. It was such a straightforward and painless experience. I imagined buying a house would be very difficult, especially a rental property in another state, but they made is so easy and seamless. Now I'm a landlord with a cashflowing asset! Yay! I'm one step closer to retirement, thanks to RTR.

I contacted the team (most specifically, Adam) at RTR very frequently throughout the process, and everyone was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also helpful; no one ever made me feel dumb for not knowing the real estate lingo. I closed on my property mid-August. From start to finish, the purchase of my investment property was seamless.

Prior to 2019 I purchased two rentals on my own, learning along the way. Looking back, almost anything was a winner in those times. Finding deals has become more and more difficult. Thanks to Adam I've closed on another property in an out of state market that I would not have found on my own. The builder and lender I purchased through were great and it was the easiest close I've had out of 4 properties. As I prepare for my next investment he continues to offer options through his connections and network that I would never find via traditional searches. What I appreciate most is the no pressure approach, Adam offers deals and if its something I want more information on he is there to answer whether I commit or not. Looking forward to working with R2R on future purchases.

With no exaggeration, Rent to Retirement is likely the best thing that has happened to my family. My wife and I are both active-duty service members with three young kids and have no time to develop a path to set conditions for our military retirements in five and seven years. Their turn-key strategy is perfect for our hectic lifestyle. They provided us with glide path options based on our specific short- and long-term goals and provided all the analysis and projections. Rent to Retirement connected us with the finest teams of professionals, tax strategists, lenders, and an outstanding property managerial company. I contacted Adam a few months ago, and today, we own our first property and are setting up to purchase the second in September. Rent to Retirement is coaching us as we go, and most importantly, we can dedicate our time to serving our country and raising our kids at our full potential. From the bottom of our hearts, thanks.

I recently purchased a property with rent to retirement and things were a little bumpy, but Scott was more than willing to help me along the way. If the rent did not come out to within a percentage of the projected rent RtR was willing to fill in with rental gap assistance for the first year to keep my mind at ease. At the end of the day we ended up renting the unit for what was projected. The selling team was able to add a couple appliances and screen door at the request of the new tenant and they took care of the request with no out of pocket expenses for me! Keep in mind this was well after closing on the house. I can’t thank Scott and the team enough for making what was a difficult situation into a positive one!

I am a new property investor with Rent To Retirement. My first SFD home purchase closed in February 2022 in Indiana. That was a very smooth process with the seller---in fact the property was already rented by the time I closed escrow! My second property had a few hiccups before and after closing, but RTR and the owner had my back to make things right when the new air conditioning unit installed wasn't working well. Thank you RTR and Maddy in Independence MO for making things right for me and my tenants! My third purchase in Birmingham, Alabama went well until we discovered (after closing) that the property had an illegal septic system! Scott from RTR and the seller worked together to install a whole new system--no cost to me--to the tune of $8500!!!

Somehow ended up having a call with Eric from the random website on the internet, and it's been a blessing since then. I can bet that no one emails or calls more than me to Eric, and for around 1000 email and 100 phone calls with him, he never lost patience and have been perfect professional with my every question, no matter how dumb those are. I have been working with him/RTR since March of 2021, and I didn't sign the first contract till August. Even though I wasn't buying anything through him for the first few months, nothing has changed in his attitude towards my question. He and RTR are definitely men of their word. They are true to their values. I think RTR is scaling fast last year, and soon not everyone will have the opportunity to have frequent 1on1 with Eric.

Matthew Seyoum, Investment Strategist at RTR has provided exceptional support throughout my journey from searching for a rental property to closing the deal. His efficiency was remarkable, demonstrated by his prompt and concise responses. He understood my objectives well and made suggestions that perfectly matched my desires in terms of good value, favorable rates, and positive cash flow. Matthew also served as a reliable sounding board when situations arose during the home inspection. For my first property, the appraisal came in $25,000 lower than expected, which initially concerned me. However, Matthew reminded me of my long-term investment objective and assured me that the property would appreciate in value, given the strong real estate market in Alabama. His reassurance gave me the confidence and clarity to proceed with closing the deal, despite the bumps along the way. Tomorrow, I will close on this property, and I have another property set to close at the end of the month. Thank you, Matthew, for your unwavering support at each step!

We bit the bullet after about a year when we had enough capital. He answered every question we had, helped guide us to other people to add to our team, and he wasn’t afraid to tell us no on properties that didn’t fit our buy box, and was transparent about various areas and tenant laws etc. As a woman, I have to say we have been used to men in the industry talking over us and trying to taking advantage- assuming we are uninformed and that I would buy their “blinker fluid” they were trying to sell.

In December of 2022 my husband and I closed on a rental property in Akron, OH that we purchased through Rent To Retirement and Steve Yoak. We look forward to learning more through the podcast and continuing to add to our portfolio.

Rent To Retirement adds so much value to your real estate investing journey. Not only do they provide you access to high quality turnkey properties and property management companies, they also have a fantastic podcast, hosted by Adam Schroeder. Their podcast gives you ACTIONABLE opportunities with their partners including asset protection specialists, insurance providers, CPAs and tax strategists, and more. I’ve personally bought property thought RTR and connected with a few of these specialists and will continue to do business with them as well. RTR is a very high quality company with great leadership and Adam is an integral part of it. Do yourself a favor and listen to the podcast regularly and get in touch with Adam when you’re ready to take action and start building something great!

Rent To Retirement (RTR) is great and trustworthy. The business is well run, they go way beyond what a typical turn key operator does, and their help has been invaluable. I had a little bit of experience in real estate buying, owning, and renting out properties in my own LLC for a couple of years prior to getting re-started with the help of RTR. Now I'm closing on a good SFH rental through them that fulfills my goals in a way that makes sense for me financially. Folks at RTR worked with me, had conversations and emails with me that were very in depth. They worked hard to understand my business goals, and provided solutions that work perfectly for my business. Their incentives are aligned with my own, so it's a win-win situation, which is how I like to conduct business with folks. I even learned way more than I knew before about setting up the right business structures, and I already knew quite a bit before. I still do investments on my own as well, but RTR will definitely be a long term ongoing partnership that I value and which I find indispensable. I'm 100% certain I will do more deals through them in the future. They've provided the business value and knowledge that is allowing me to progress faster than I would have been able to on my own. It also has been enjoyable getting to know the RTR folks and work with them throughout this process. Any penny spent through or with them is a penny well spent in my opinion.

My new business partner and I used RTR to acquire our first out of state property and I couldn’t be happier. We approached Adam with questions about a few markets on their inventory list and were pleasantly surprised when he gave us very honest feedback about each of them and the teams on the ground. Anytime we asked for market comps or additional pictures or information he was quick to get those to us. He put us in touch with a great financing. Our property was in OH and the team on the ground there was also fabulous. Inspection came back and without even asking the team in OH requested our inspection and went in and took care of everything. The appraisal came in low and they met us in the middle. They had vertical integration with PM and they got the duplex rented right before Christmas above our projected rents. Just been an absolute pleasure working with RTR and I look forward to doing more deals with them.

I recently partnered up with a long-time friend to start our real estate investment journey. As our local market is quite expensive, my partner suggested we look into RTR for a potential out of state property. We immediately were able to start digesting properties from their list and identify a few that were within our budget and met our investment strategy. We then had a discussion with Adam, who gave us surprisingly unbiased feedback on the various markets and properties we were considering. We ultimately landed on a duplex in Ohio, and closed in less than 30 days. RTR was there to support at each step, including helping us negotiate with the seller when the appraisal came in slightly lower than expected. This really is top notch service and a really easy first step into the real estate investing world. We plan to utilize RTR for our next property in the coming months. I've already recommended RTR to a close friend of mind, and would not hesitate doing so to others.

During my first call, Adam impressed me with his vast knowledge of the real estate realm ranging from lenders, appraisers and home insurance.

Since then, I have purchased from RTR, 3 other turnkey properties in Ohio and 2 new builds in Tennessee, 4 new builds from Cape Coral and the most recent deal is the purchase of new construction in Lehigh Acres, FL which is anticipated to be ready by next summer.

There are no shortage of glowing reviews for Rent to Retirement (RTR) here on Bigger Pockets. As you can see from the numerous posts below, they are known for their top-notch customer care, which was what initially attracted me to them when selecting my first turnkey operator. I'm glad to report that my experience with the Rent to Retirement team in the time since has been nothing short of stellar. If you’re reading this in your due diligence phase, I don’t want to waste your time with a repeat of anything you’ve already read, so I’ll skip ahead to some specific examples from my own experience that I think best illustrate just how much the RTR team cares about ensuring an excellent customer experience. After a couple of meetings with Zach, he introduced me to Adam Schroeder, who’s one of RTR's investment advisors. Much like Zach, he cares a lot about teaching his clients and making time to meet with them (even on short notice) despite his busy schedule. When I decided which market to make my OOS entry in, Adam connected me with their general contractor/flipper who operates exclusively in that market because he loves the area and has been living and investing there for much of his life. Prior to going under contract, the general contractor was always happy to answer questions about his market, and when it later came time for a review of the inspection reports, he was more than fair in addressing my "punch list” (the list of items you’d like to see addressed prior to the purchase). RTR is a great company, but no matter how polished a team is, no one can promise a totally smooth ride. Things will always go awry. The real measure of a great turnkey provider then is how far they’ll go to stand by their product and their values - how hard they’ll work to earn your trust no matter the cost. I am happy to report that when the chips were down, RTR more than exceeded my expectations in this regard… Immediately after my tenants moved into one of my properties, an unexpected and extremely costly capital expenditure reared it’s head. The sewer line coming from the street was severely blocked by tree roots and needed to be dug up and replaced. For my part, being a newbie to this process, I learned a valuable lesson and will never let my inspector ignore the sewer line ever again! Another turnkey provider may have said “Sorry, tough luck! This is your problem.” But not Zach and his team. They knew that this huge repair would have annihilated my cashflow for years to come, so they stepped in to cover the cost of the repair. I think this experience alone speaks volumes about what type of team this is and how they stand by their houses and that they are invested in YOUR success. I now own two properties though RTR and am so glad that I decided to work with them.

I too hope to be a R2R success story in the Cape Coral area. Last year I became aware of the R2R company and took the leap and investing in the Cape Coral new build opportunities. Even though there has been many delays things are finally moving and my permits have been approved. When I had questions early in Zach personally reached out and offered to set up calls and provide all the assistance he could. I truly appreciate that. One of the reasons I decided to work with R2R over other Turnkey companies was the family environment/culture. I didn't feel like just a number. They provide education for free and guidance through-out the process. This was a no brainer and clearly an opportunity to attain generational wealth with a concierge. Truly grateful for Zach and his team.

After thinking about it, as Asian Americans, we still choose to go to buy a property as our best investment, but we live in a west coast city and we can't find any house with positive cash flow at all, we stumbled upon RTR on BP once and thought this might be our best choice, of course, property investment is a big life event, we finally after about 6 months of research and investigation, finally in this year In January, we bought a new construction house in Florida. Although I had bought my own home, I was completely unfamiliar with investment houses in foreign states, especially the price of new home construction, and by making an appointment to talk to ZACH, I was able to put down my doubts, and then we bought a canal lot and signed the construction contract. participated in the work, so it was not enough to see on the proof of work income. I thought my first investment home was going to be a bust, but they immediately recommended another lender to me, and this lender approved my application in one day. As the first investment home, the purchase process went pretty smoothly. My brother bought a property immediately after seeing me buy a house out of state and learning about it from me, and he is now preparing to buy a second investment home. He was very careful and had a lot of strange questions, but Lars from RTR and Kevin, the local property management manager, answered his questions very professionally and patiently, and he now has more confidence in investing in the Florida real estate market than I do.
