Rent To Retirement: Building Financial Independence Through Turnkey Real Estate Investing

Construction slowed down considerably at the start of the pandemic, and builders were wary about ramping up their operations as supply chain bottlenecks continued and commodity prices skyrocketed. But now we're seeing growing confidence among builders. Plus, rents are on the rise! With so many people being kept out of the home ownership role due to inventory crunches, landlords are reaping the rewards. Zach Lemaster and Adam Schroeder break down what this means for the investor and how it should impact your strategy.

Throughout the pandemic we've heard that Florida is the place to be. People all across the country, especially those in the Northeast, flocked there and have caused rents and prices to quickly rise.

Adam Schroeder talks with Florida provider Rob about what is going on in the Southwest Florida markets where he's building, why the area is still a boon for investors, and what the community will look like in 10-15 years.

Property management can be as important to your rental property as the actual property itself. Good management makes your life easier; bad management can make your life (and investment) a pain that you regret.

Around 1/3 of properties are being put under contract within the first week of their listing. This is especially true in the investing world, as properties sometimes sit around for minutes, not days or weeks. Adam Schroeder talks with Rent to Retirement investment counselor David about where he's seeing existing properties come available on a consistent basis, David's experience in real estate, and what he foresees in the market for the near future.

If you've looked into real estate investing, you've heard of Section 8 housing. Many people have slightly negative feelings toward the program/residents. But that attitude is what leaves the door open for investors to make returns that are, essentially, guaranteed. Adam Schroeder talks with Jack, an expert on Section 8 rentals in Ohio, about what exactly the program is, how it works for residents and landlords, what type of investment properties do (and don't) work, and the comfort of knowing that rent check is going to hit your bank account even if there's a pandemic.

The pandemic accelerated a trend that was happening before of people moving to more accomodating states and cities. But even though things are opening up more and economies are on the rebound, people haven't stopped their plans to move. More people than ever on are on the job hunt, looking at homes outside of their local market. Getting "in the path of progress" is fairly easy as an investor, IF you can find the right property. Adam Schroeder and Zach Lemaster look at where people are going, if the trend is likely to continue, and why Florida is both a place people have been flooding into AND a place where investment properties still make sense.
