George M.
Posted Mar 2 2023, 04:59

I see a lot about Rent to Retirement on this forum.  Who would be their competitors? Any other ones that are also recommended? Appreciate the feedback.

@George M.

Looking at their website, it looks like syndication packaged under a flashy name.  

If you are looking for truly hands off RE investing - syndication has it's place.  But there is some risk and definitely more overhead associated with syndication than with owning your own rental properties.  You are at the mercy of the management of a syndicated property as to expenses incurred, for instance.  The management of the syndicated property isn't working for free - so you are losing a percentage of your return to that additional overhead.  Not an expert on the topic at all... but I have come to appreciate being the one that makes all the real estate decisions with my properties - and therefore enjoying all the profits as well.  Investing in syndication is like being a passenger on the bus.  Syndication will take you to your completely passive 'real estate destination'  The good thing is that you don't have to do the driving on your trip... but there is a price you pay for riding the bus.  There are plenty of examples of syndication scenarios going wrong as well.  So just be sure to investigate who you are getting into the investment with.

All the best!

Randy

Randall, thanks for the input, but you are mistaken in your interpretation here. RTR is not a syndicator. Good points however on how syndications can be risky.

Rent to Retirement is the nation's leading marketplace for turnkey investment properties. This allows investors to actually own investment properties in the best location throughout the US to maximize cash flow, appreciation, immediate equity and tax benefits. RTR also has more 5 star reviews than any other company on BiggerPockets. This is something we are proud to showcase over the past decade of business!

Here are many forum threads to review with investors speaking about their experience investing with RTR, competitors, out of state, etc. I think this will be very beneficial to answer George's questions!

@George M., feel free to reach out with any questions at any time.

RtR is not a syndicator although they may have that tool in their tool box  but its not their focus from what I know.. Owner is very customer oriented.

@Jay Hinrichs

Thanks for the clarification.  I did not dig into it deep enough.  It looked like inventory you could invest in at first glance, not purchase, so thought it was syndication.

 For ease of understanding, they are a turnkey promoter although I am sure with their growth they may develop other opportunites outside of connecting investors with turnkey companies/opportunities.  Other companies with similar business models would be Norada, Real Wealth Network, Maverick and @Ali Boone although Ali may work with Maverick, I am not 100% sure if that is still the case.

Either way, these are companies who connect investors to turnkey opportunities and companies who do not have large marketing budgets or teams to market for them.  I would guess they have a pretty good share of the market space meaning they are pretty influential in where investors ultimately invest.  

My apologies to any of these companies if I didn't describe them in better detail.  So, they may offer other services or opportunities, but regardless I think they all fall into that competitor qualification.  

Best of luck to you George as you get moving forward.

@George M.

Once you identify the city for investment, its not that difficult to invest. You will have to visit and learn the neighborhoods. There are investor focussed realtors in every cash flowing city. Do your own research before going the turnkey route..

Thanks for the shout out, Chris! Really appreciate it. I do not work with Maverick any longer. George, happy to help with anything you might need. I run a turnkeys Facebook group I can connect you with, answer questions, anything you need.
