How to find R2R landlords
The traditional way to find rent-to-rent landlords is cold-calling, door-knocking and posting in Facebook property groups. These methods work but they are time-consuming and require consistent effort to build a pipeline of deals.
Landlords who are open to rent-to-rent are usually motivated by specific situations: void period issues, problem tenants, moving abroad, wanting hands-off management, or moving away from private renting. Understanding these motivations helps you target the right landlords and pitch the right solution.
The Deal Board simplifies this by listing landlords who are actively looking for R2R operators. Instead of cold-calling, you can browse vetted deals with full financial breakdowns and contact the landlord directly through the platform. You can also join as a co-sourcer and submit deals you find yourself.
