Rent To Retirement

Member since 2025 · 1 post · 6 votes

I first learned about Rent To Retirement when I watched a webinar by Zach. I started working with Tommy since last year and ended up closing on properties in Ohio. Tommy has been professional, always quick to respond to emails, and provided access to their networks of lenders, insurance, etc. but never pushy. I had good experience and will definitely consider future deals.

It was a pleasure getting to work with you over the past year, and I look forward to working together on many more deals in addition to the three you acquired with us so far!

Thanks for sharing your experience! I also work with investors buying in that area and have helped many coordinate inspections, contractors, and local teams remotely. If you’re ever exploring your next deal and want someone to bounce ideas off of or help you vet opportunities, feel free to reach out. Are you leaning toward buying more in the same market or open to others?

I was wondering about them and was going to ask if anyone had a personal experience with them. Did you do any of the special financing like low rate or 0% down ones I hear about on the show? Curious if anyone has any experience with either,

Their acquisition process can be excellent, and that is often where most reviews are focused because it is the most recent experience.

The more important questions to ask are how these Rent to Retirement investments perform 12, 24, and 36 months down the road. Are the rents holding up? Are expenses in line with projections? How is the property management? Are investors still satisfied after dealing with vacancies, maintenance, and tenant issues?

A smooth purchase experience is important, but the real test of any investment is long-term performance after the excitement of closing wears off. If you search through the forums, you will find plenty of reviews from investors who have owned these properties for 12+ months and can speak to the actual ownership experience.

  I've seen you repeat this same copy and pasted comment on like 10 threads over the last couple of weeks. Sounds like you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the rental property business as a whole.
  How is making the process easier on someone just getting started somehow a knock?
  Are investors still satisfied after dealing with vacancies, maintenance, and tenant issues? ---- This is the rental property business. Regardless of who you buy your property from. Whether that be from Rent To Retirement or some old lady Realtor on the local MLS.
  When you understand that this kind of stuff will be involved in the ownership experience of every rental property owner in the world (which I would imagine most people are aware of as it's common sense) you'd realize your comment doesn't make any sense.

I appreciate your perspective, James. I agree that making the acquisition process easier for investors—especially those just getting started—can be a huge benefit, and I don’t think that is a negative at all.

My point is more about separating the acquisition experience from the actual investment performance. Those are two different things. A smooth purchase process, helpful team, and good communication are valuable, but the underlying asset still matters.

I also think there can be a big difference between classes of neighborhoods, and acknowledging that is not a knock against anyone or any company. In fact, there are many successful investors who intentionally buy Class C properties because they understand the market, the risks, and how to manage them. It can be a great strategy.

The challenge is when an investment is presented as one class of asset but the ownership experience reveals something different. The expectations, management approach, reserves, and risk tolerance may look very different depending on whether you are buying Class A, B, or C.

Ultimately, every rental property will have vacancies, maintenance, and tenant issues—that is part of the business. My concern is less about those realities and more about making sure investors fully understand what type of asset they are buying and what comes with it long term.
