Thank you Rent To Retirement

[Glenn Larson]

I just finished purchasing my first property through Rent To Retirement and the process was better than I expected. Melissa Justice, my Investment Strategist, was present throughout the process and answered all my questions. She was always available via phone and email with prompt replies. As a new investor in this space with some trepidation about investing out of state, I found the service to be first class. RTR provides the data behind individual deals as well as analysis behind why they are in certain markets and I found this to be so helpful as an investor with a full-time job. I attended a free seminar put on by CEO @ZachLemaster and also signed up for the Rent To Retirement Academy. I was attracted to his sincerity and transparency as well as his service to our country as a military veteran and have not been disappointed as I interact with the company and navigate the RTR Academy curriculum. Thank you!

Quote from @Scott R.:

This is just me, but any real estate agent that calls themselves an "investment strategist" would have me running for the hills. Id ask how many units they rent out and how long they've been a landlord for. I once took a CPR class but that doesn't make me a doctor.

Hello Scott - I'm Melissa and I, in fact, worked with Glenn on his last transaction.

I appreciate your perspective - though I’d like to offer some context to clarify.

I’ve worked in the real estate space for the past 15 years, holding active licenses and working in the capacity of a realtor in New Jersey, California, and soon Arizona. I’ve helped clients navigate everything from residential sales to complex investment transactions in multiple markets.

Beyond traditional real estate, I currently work as an investment strategist at Rent To Retirement, where I help investors nationwide build portfolios of cash-flowing properties - not just by finding deals, but by advising on market selection, financing structure, tax strategies, and long-term scaling.

I also invest personally, and while I’m not here to brag about door counts, I bring experience on both sides of the table - as an operator AND as an advisor. The clients I work with aren’t just looking to "buy a house"; they’re building out passive income strategies, diversifying geographically, and often transitioning from high-income W-2 jobs into full-time investing.

So, I totally get the skepticism - this space is full of buzzwords and self-proclaimed “gurus.” But not everyone using the term "investment strategist" is slapping it on a business card after watching a YouTube video.

Some of us are actually doing the work - daily - alongside the investors we serve.

Best of luck in your own REI journey!
