We handle the entire transformation
We source on- and off-market properties at 10-25% below market value in Toledo's top rental neighborhoods.
We renovate to pass city code, lead safety, and Section 8 inspections — so your property is certified and tenant-ready from day one.
Strategic renovations add more value than they cost, giving you built-in equity the moment the work is done.
Here's every step along the way.
No LLC? We'll help you set one up for liability protection.
We connect you with our lender for a cash-out refinance at 75% LTV. Recycle your capital into your next property — same process, same team, repeat.

“I was skeptical about investing out of state, but Rent Ready S8 made it completely hands-off. I've closed on three properties in 14 months and pulled almost all my capital back out on each one. Now I'm using that same $70k to buy my fourth.”

“On my first deal I only had $4,000 left in after the refi and I'm cash flowing $320 a month. That's almost 100% return on my money. The team handled everything from finding the property to placing the tenant.”

“We wanted to build passive income but didn't have time to manage properties ourselves. Rent Ready S8 found us two properties, handled both renovations in 8 weeks, and got tenants placed within 3 weeks of completion.”

“I started with $85k. After 14 months, I have 4 properties, all tenanted, and I still have $62k liquid. Each cash flows $280-320/month. I'm on track for a fifth by summer.”
