thanks for your time and help rent to retirement works directly with build to rent developers like us around the country once they are framed up. you are buying properties pretty much at market value but with a hand holding. you can work directly with a builder or directly with them. they are just an intermediary. they take 5% on what we make as a builder but have a large list of investors and a systemized approach to selling new builds. if you want to get a better deal I'd recommend directly contacting builders and building it yourself. fly to the market. spend 2 days, tour new builds, get a feeling for how it's going. if your builder isn't building multiple at a time then I wouldn't recommend working with them. rent to retirement is a well oiled and well run machine. they've had their ups and downs with dozens of transactions in florida but modified their process. they are well known and established and transparent. if you have a more specific market and feel confident in your ability to vet deals try it out. happy to talk more my info is in my signature. we work directly with them to sell new builds and no organization is perfect but I have good things to say about them as a builder and potential build to rent developer that sells build to rent triplexes and single family homes through them to end buyers in California like the Bay Area, Los Angeles, and San Diego 

Think New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago.Secondary Markets: These are smaller, but still significant cities.

*Affordable – Next, Phoenix has relatively affordable properties in comparison to other top metro areas such as Los Angeles and San Francisco, which means that investors have the chance to purchase homes at lower rates, thus increasing their profit margins.

I don't have experience in either of those markets, but I do come from a tenant friendly market (Los Angeles). 

I am an investor from Los Angeles.

With over 30 years of experience in Commercial Real Estate, I specialize in the sales and dispositions of investment properties across Los Angeles and the U.S.  

I own a property in Los Angeles and would love to hear your experiences.

For example I just sold a house with an ADU in Los Angeles to an end user for $930K.

., allowing investors to purchase properties at a fraction of the cost compared to cities like New York, Los Angeles, or Chicago.

I'm sorry if you already answered this, and I missed it:I'm in the process of negotiating a renters lease buyout with my landlord in Los Angeles.
