The Midwest REI Conference was a huge success and we were able to catch up with our friend Ramond Harris II. You may remember Ramond as the Detroit flipper, wholesaler and rehabber who shared his story in episodes #168, #225 & #334 while we brainstormed ways for him to fix his broken business model and get rid of three trucks that were costing him over $25,000 per year in debt payments. This episode was recorded at the RPOA’s 2024 Midwest Real Estate Investor Conference in Grand Rapids where we were joined by Justin Workman for an exciting mastermind session to discuss his real estate businesses as well as his FedEx routes and new business prospects on the horizon. For those of you who remember Ramond from past episodes, I know you’ll be incredibly impressed by his progress and experience. You can contact Ramond through email at ramond.harris@yahoo.com.

Today we’re going to discuss the build-to-rent model. Build-to-rent, also known as BTR, is an emerging trend that has been gaining significant traction in recent years. It involves the construction of purpose-built residential properties with the sole intention of renting them out to tenants rather than selling them as individual units.
