He is not only smart and caring (because he is an optometrist!) - he is also very genuine in his desire to help. I reached out to Zach instantly and in about a day we were on the phone just casually catching up and chatting about my real estate goals. I didn't know where to begin and I was in fact, quite nervous and lost like the rest of us newbies! When I saw Zach's name come across a list of reputable members, I remember screaming to my husband in excitement, ``Honey, It's Zach! Our optometry friend that we met at a meeting a few years back!!!`` What a small world it is indeed.

When I first stumbled upon Bigger Pockets about 1 month ago, I was a like a little fishy in an ocean full of experienced investors and a sea of knowledge. Overall I give him a 5-star recommendation, and plan to continue to invest with him for years to come! He has lots of knowledge on creative deal structuring as well if that is something you're exploring. He's connected me with accountants, attorneys, insurance providers, prop managers, rehabbers, etc. He has all the right people in place to help you successfully, and painlessly build a passive income portfolio. I like working with Zach because of his professionalism and attention to detail. I think this is a product of investing in the better quality neighborhoods. Most my tenants have stayed for multiple years so my vacancy is very low. The management company only contacts me to get approval for larger repairs or something they need my input on. It's been pretty much a hands off experience. I've bought nine properties so far in numerous markets (all through Zach's company or affiliates).

Zach is an experienced investor himself, so he knows what works, and what doesn't. I would fully recommend working with Rent To Retirement/Zach for anyone who is looking for guidance in building a passive income portfolio.
