Experience doing TK w/Freedom Real Estate Group?

Question

Does anyone have experience working with Freedom Real Estate Group? (http://turnkeyohio.com/) I'm scheduled to do a market tour with them in Dayton, Ohio next weekend and can't find anything on the forums. My interactions have been great so far.

Also, does anyone have contacts for PMs/Inspectors in the Dayton area? Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately not all TK providers are the same. If you're looking for high quality, turnkey rentals I recommend @Zach Lemaster and his team over at Rent to Retirement. They provide renovated properties in markets that maximize appreciation and cash flow.

I recently just closed on a property with them and have been happy with my purchase. The property was affordable, fully renovated, had a tenant in place and came with a warranty. I had a maintenance issue and what impressed me was how his whole team jumped in to handle the issue.

For any one interested in turnkey, check them out.

@Mary D., I went out to visit and tour with them several months ago.  The people were generally fantastic - fun, funny, great personalities, etc.  The properties and neighborhoods, on the other hand, not at all impressed.  In my opinion, generally way over priced for what they are; mostly 1 BAs (I like 2 BAs); many properties are much older (like 100 years old in some cases).  After the tour, they invited us inside again to discuss what we thought and more specifically what we’re looking for.  I provided some criteria and literally have never received any specific property emails from them again (just hyped up, deal of the day type stuff for properties that they can’t sell and are way over priced).  I eventually unsubcribed. You will always learn a lot when you visit a provider in person.  The owners were there - one of them even walked up to the front desk while we were in the conference room - and never bothered to stop in to introduce themselves, thank us for visiting, drop a card, nothing.   Big no-no in my book.  They do seems to have a somewhat interesting private lending program for investors interested in that angle (I’m not), but I was not at all impressed with their turnkey properties and quality of rehab or quality of neighborhoods.

Hopefully you have a better experience if you choose to pursue them.  Keep us posted.

@Mark S. I invested with this provider because he is recommended by get rich education's Keith weinhold.  My experience has been catastrophic.  The renovations were done very poorly, the management has been the worst I've dealt with.  The CEO Aaron Davis is a cocky software engineer who has no idea on how to treat customers or run his business.  The head of property management is Chris Siseno is basically useless.  I am not exaggerating here believe me.  I had multiple evictions on over 90% of my properties, vandalism, awful renovations, overpriced properties and turnovers etc etc.  My current pm after I fired them when i confronted Aaron basically said the properties were "turds".  I'm still trying to fix them up and hopefully exchange them but I have lost a ton of money and freedom and the owners never even wanted to talk to me after I requested that multiple times.  Please stay away fr these folks.  I have no doubt this company won't be around for long or they will end up in jail.

@Mark S.  The owners of the company know nothing about real estate.  They basically put together a bunch of incompetent folks..a lot of them without any real estate experience like themselves..(they use to play band for disney cruises if I'm not mistaken).  I tried to contact them several times to get answers since their CEO (Aaron on the video you posted, he used tk be an IT manager.. no real RE experience either to my knowledge) disregarded all my concerns and illegally ended my property management contracts with them. Basically they washed off their hands and left me with 4 properties in awful condition, 4 evictions and thousands and thousands in damages and vandalism.  Still seeking legal action against the company. Not going to let them get away that easy.
