115: The BRRRRent-to-Own Strategy: A Win-Win for Tenants and Landlords

What if you could own rental properties without the responsibility of landlording ? Not only that, what if you were paid a hefty, non-refundable deposit for your home, minimizing your risk? Would you start investing under these circumstances? If you like the sound of that, you’ll love the rent-to-own strategy , or as Today’s guest Jessica likes to call her framework, the BRRTOR (Buy, Rehab, Rent-to-Own, Repeat) . Most landlords won’t offer rent-to-own to their tenants, not because they don’t want to, but because they don’t know it’s a possibility. This type of seller financing is what Jessica’s entire portfolio is built off of, and it has some major benefits for not only the landlord but the tenant . Jessica also gives some great advice in our mindset segment, specifically relaying that a big part of real estate is making mistakes .
