Their marketing sounds promising but I would love to hear someone's own experience. People typically post reviews when they had exceptionally good or bad experiences but I only found bad ones on Yelp and BBB. 

@Will Zena Glad you are having a good experience as well. I haven't experienced any issues with my Alabama deposits so far. The property management is great!

@Will Zena Cleveland didn't go too well, but would have probably been fine if I stuck with it. Alabama is going very well. I would love to hear your experience!

Old thread but still relevant. I have worked with RWN and purchased turnkey property, as a result. I also met Kathy at a showcase event in San Mateo this year.

I'm seeing that the turnkey part of RWN's business is really about education and referral. The education part was very valuable to me and I learned a huge amount.

The referral part is currently working out pretty well. The first affiliate I tried to work with didn't go that well and I didn't buy from them. The house had a huge gap in an exterior wall that I would have walked away from but didn't know about until I paid for an inspection. They were also not responsive so I felt like it was too risky. The next affiliate I worked was was/is amazing. They communicate well with me, are very open and honest about what they do, and currently very happy to have met them. I purchased a property from them 4 months ago and another closing is happening next week. I'm also in contact with another affiliate to purchase a property in 1-2 months who I've flown over to meet and tour.

RWN makes money when I buy from an affiliate, so the price could theoretically be cheaper if I went straight to turnkey providers. However, paying the premium for the affiliation is fine with me because there's another layer of quality control and accountability. If I found and purchased directly from turnkey provider and something went wrong, it would only be between me and them. With RWN, the affiliate has been vetted and also would have to answer to RWN if something were to go wrong.

In the future, I would like to participate in syndications. They seem to start at $50k and I'd like my portfolio to be bigger before I commit to that amount.
