What do others say about working with Ryan O’Neill?
"Hello, my name is James, and about two years ago, I was relocated from Texas to the beautiful Twin Cities. I had been involved in real estate investing in Texas and thought it was time to jump into the local Twin Cities real estate market.
"I saw Ryan's ad in the paper last
summer and he helped pique my interest in real estate investing.
He was a huge help in getting me motivated and I finally found a
four bedroom home late last year and closed in February 2005. Ryan
gave me great tips on finding potential renters, checking
references, and showing the house. I ran into some bad luck and
dead ends with a few prospects but Ryan stayed with me through the
entire process. He was gracious enough to give me several leads
after I had to decided not to sign a lease with a prospect. One of
the leads ended up being a perfect family to rent my house to.
They signed the lease that same weekend and I am now incredibly
thankful to Ryan for that and for the amount of support I was
given every step of the way during the process. I highly recommend
working with Ryan since he is a great resource for real estate
investing and above all is an honest person who can be trusted."
"If you've read some books, seen some videos,
or gone to seminars on real estate investing, you still might be wondering what to do next.
If this sounds like you, then call Ryan. The key with Ryan's program is that it's local, it's free,
and he has plenty of connections in the Twin Cites area that will help get you started.
"My wife and I were interested in finding out more about rental properties.
We heard about Ryan O'Neill's free seminar, and I attended it one evening. The seminar was full of great information. After the seminar, we decided we wanted to start off by finding a good 4 bedroom split level home in good condition. That's where Ryan took over. He provided a daily search of the MLS to me for possible rental homes, and we went out and looked at some. Ryan and I looked at about 13 houses on maybe 4 different occations. He knows what is, and what isn't a good rental, and he honestly points out the issues with the "not so good rentals." Even during our fourth time out, I was growing impatient, and Ryan kept upbeat and was honest when pointing out issues on some of the homes.
"
I now have my first investment property under my belt thanks to the Ryan O’Neill team. Even during the slow winter months I was able to purchase and rent out my 1st investment property. It was a very smooth process with little surprises. The O’Neill team was very knowledgeable and professional during the entire process. I can’t wait to start looking for my second property with the O’Neill team.
Thanks guys!! "
"Wow, what a great experience.
I now sit here in front of my computer
trying to figure out what I could
possibly put in words to express how
beneficial Ryan has been for me thus
far. I have wanted to get into owning
real estate for several years, but never
felt comfortable to take that necessary
next step. Like many others out
there, I had and still have Carlton
Sheets “No Down Payment” sitting on my
shelf, but never put it into practice
until I met Ryan. From just the
beginning, Ryan was there to really help
me understand the whole process of
investment properties and how much
potential there really is. I’ve
always felt like the process was too
overwhelming, but going through it and
looking back now, it definitely was not.
Ryan was there for every question or
concern that I had (and believe me, I
always have questions) and he really
allowed me to continue on. I
currently have 4 single family rental
houses I bought through Ryan, and I have
been extremely satisfied with how
everything has gone. There is a
list of different things Ryan has helped
me with….everything from selecting the
“right” house with the “right” location
and of course with the “right” price.
Then working with his “team” and making
sure all the numbers worked out….his
spreadsheet analyzing the benefits is
awesome. Then advertising the
house and making sure I was getting the
“right” tenants. And finally when
you think that it’s pretty much a done
deal because the tenants are in and you
are receiving that rent check, here
comes an email or a phone call from Ryan
just to make sure things are running
smoothly and/or if there were any
additional questions. For those
people out there right now wondering if
they should or should not get into
investment properties or wondering if
they should or should not work with
Ryan….please take it from me and the
other individuals Ryan has helped….DO
IT, you will not be disappointed.
I can definitely say that this is just
the beginning and I look forward to
working with Ryan for my future real
estate interests!" "I started
working with Ryan after I saw his ad in the classified section of
the newspaper and visited his website. Prior to this, I had just
read about real estate investing, I hadn’t actually bought
anything. I was eager but didn’t really know the best way to
begin.
"Our experience with Ryan will
keep us going back to him for more!
We just bought our first home and Ryan
was incredibly helpful and supportive in
our search. He was very honest in
his opinions when it came to finding the
right house for us. We are
planning to invest down the road and
will most definitely choose Ryan to work
with again. Whether you are
getting into investment real estate or
just buying a single family home for
yourself, we highly recommend Ryan to
anyone!"
"My experience with Ryan was
wonderful and educational. I started
looking for an investment property with
no idea of what I was looking for.
That’s where Ryan stepped in to give me
his knowledge that he obtained through
his own experiences. He told me what
kind of houses would have good re-sale
and which ones would rent out easily. I
appreciated his honesty the most. There
were a few houses that I would've been
ready to purchase but Ryan suggested I
wait and find one with more of the
qualities we were looking for. This is
what impressed me the most. He could've
just agreed with me and collected his
commission, but instead he gave me an
honest opinion, which looking back was
the correct one. He was always readily
available for questions and for looking
at properties. And if he was busy, one
of his assistants would always be
available so we could get into the
property right away. His assistance
didn't end at the closing. He helped
with the advertising and the application
review so I could find a good renter.
Ryan really made the whole experience
enjoyable and I would recommend him to
anyone I know. I hope to do more
business with Ryan and his great
assistants in the near future." We were a bit nervous about getting into the real estate investment business, but Ryan walked us through the process and made us feel very comfortable. The things we liked most about working with Ryan was his preparation and his attitude . Ryan has step-by-step, "how-to"documents on every aspect of the process...from buying/financing the home all the way to finding a renter. We needed someone to 'hold our hand' throughout the process and Ryan did just that...and he did it with a positive, confident attitude." -JP Paul jppaul@hotmail.com
"After reading several books and
attending a few seminars on the subject,
I felt ready to begin investing in real
estate. But I still was not
exactly sure where or how to begin the
process. Then I came across Ryan's
ad in the newspaper. I'm so glad
that I visited his website and decided
to contact him. Ryan and his team
are knowledgeable, experienced, and have
been very generous with their time and
advice. Ryan has carefully walked
me through each step of the purchase and
leasing of residential property, and is
always available for questions.
His personal attention, helpful
pointers, and availability alleviate
many of the fears that are common among
"rookie" real estate investors. I
feel confident that because of my
connection with him and his team, I will
be able to avoid many of the pitfalls
that novice investors learn the hard way
when they "go it alone." Thank
you, Ryan, for helping me find the road
to building wealth through real estate,
and for getting me started in that first
and most important part of the process-
taking action!"
"I met Ryan shortly after I read
his ad in the Star Tribune, which led me
"I met Ryan about 6 months ago
from an ad that I saw in the paper. He
came off as being very friendly and
helpful with little pressure. We then
set up a time to meet where he showed me
what options are out there for
investment properties. About two months
after the first phone call Ryan and I
began looking for houses; during the
entire process he showed more patience
than I could ever expect. It was a
relief to work with someone that has
personal experience with investments and
could relate to all of the nervious
feelings I had while making my first
investment. Ryan is the answer for
everyone, from the full time investor to
the beginner. All of my future real
estate investments will be with the help
of Ryan."
“Well, at first when I started to
think about investment property, I
didn’t have any
idea whatsoever about what owning a
rental property entailed. When I met
with Ryan O’Neill, he show me how to get
started on real estate. I bought a
single family house with him and he
helped me to advertise the house to get
it rented. Finally he found a renter for
me. He has really helped me out;
apparently he didn’t just help me
out, but he did it all for me, wow!!
What can I say about him? He is generous
and dedicated to his clients. I would
recommend him to anybody who is
interested in investment property. I
would love to work with him again in the
near future.”
"As I was looking to get into
investment real estate in the Twin
Cities market, connecting with Ryan has
been critical to success. Ryan and his
team have been extremely helpful in
showing me everything I needed to know
about the market, specific homes,
financing, renting, property management,
etc. Ryan's personal attention and
desire to help have been instrumental in
helping me build my real estate
investment portfolio."
"My husband and I have always been
intrigued by the real estate investment
industry, but were a bit lost at how to
get involved in it. We had done
our homework via books and CD’s, but we
still lacked the experience and contacts
needed to take the next steps.
Close friends recommended we meet with
Ryan. They were in the process of
purchasing a couple rental homes with
Ryan and raved about his industry
knowledge, friendliness, and honesty.
Now, we, too, cannot say enough about
Ryan. Within 6 months of our first
meeting, Ryan has mentored us through
the purchase and rental of 4
single-family homes. Ryan is
definitely a step above other realtors.
Our relationship did not stop with the
home closings. He continues to
help / educate us through the rental
process and any hiccups we have along
the way. His industry knowledge,
contacts, and experience makes him a
trusted advisor; his down-to-earth, fun,
and friendly character makes him a good
friend. We will definitely ask
Ryan to help us with future purchases
and highly recommend Ryan to anyone
looking to realize their investment
property goals."
"In addition to being an excellent
realtor in the traditional sense, Ryan
offers the closest thing we've found to
a turn-key real estate investment
solution for the Twin Cities market. He
has an extensive team of providers for
everything from financing to tenant
background checks, and is not afraid to
share his knowledge or network. Read the
books, take the courses, but when it
comes time to buy, call Ryan to help
fill in the blanks."
"I bought four single family
rental properties using Ryan's help.
Ryan
"We started the rental property
journey by purchasing the Carleton
Sheets course. It was an excellent
course and I am glad I did. It
provided me the encouragement to take
the next step. I found Ryan's ad
in the paper, and being skeptical that
this was too easy I called him and setup
a meeting for my wife and myself to meet
him. Through this process we
talked to many realtors, but Ryan was by
far the most professional, nicest, and
simply the one we trusted to guide us
through the process. Ryan helped
us along every step of the way,
answering every question, and offering
his advice. We have purchased two
properties through Ryan, and are happy
with our decisions. We also have
recommended many of our friends to Ryan
which I believe says more for him than
anything else ever could."
"I have done two deals with Ryan
(so far!) and have been more than happy.
"I was hesitant at first, but
after talking to Ryan a few times, I
realized he wasn't just trying to sell
me a house to collect his commission.
He was willing to walk me through the
entire process at my pace, and work with
me until I found the house I wanted, and
had renters in place. I purchased
one house with Ryan in September and he
helped me get it rented by October 1st."
"We started out with very little
knowledge about owning rental
properties, until we met with an expert
in the field of investment properties by
the name of Ryan O'Neill. Ryan walks you
through every step of the process and
was always good about returning phone
calls. From looking at properties to
answering all the little questions we
may have had, Ryan showed more patience
and dedication than we had ever
expected. Now, we have a couple
properties which will bring us positive
cash flow every month.
"I have had a very good experience
with Ryan. He is always there helping
with any questions I have, and he is
very good at returning my phone calls.
He is always happy to assist with any
issues I have, such as giving me
valuable suggestions about mortgages
and how to "rent out" my previous home.
He always put his client's interest
first and is never pushing just to close
a deal. I would go back to him
again for my next purchase."
"We met
Ryan by calling off his ad in the
newspaper. Right from the start, we
could tell that he is a very nice guy
who would give us a lot of help with
real estate investment. From looking for
properties to finding a handy man to fix
up any issues we had with the house,
even helping us put ads in newspaper to
get the homes rented out! We started out
with very little to no knowledge about
real estate investment. With his lead
and help, we now have the real estate
investment wheel rolling. Now, we have
few properties sitting there which have
been bringing us positive cash flow
every month. We really appreciate Ryan.
He has made a difference in our life!"
"I remember
looking in the Sunday newspaper real
estate section for investment property
and ran across an ad by Ryan O’Neill.
I called on the ad and we decided to
meet. I was impressed with his
friendliness; knowledge and
professionalism that I decided to do my
first real estate deal with him.
Prior to meeting with him I had no
knowledge or experience in owning rental
property. I would highly recommend
using Ryan’s service and experience to
anyone who wants to use real estate for
investment purposes! Not only does
he show you property but he actually
shows you how everything is put together
from start to finish. I have never met
anyone else in this business that takes
the time and dedication to show you the
correct way of owning investment real
estate. Financial Freedom is one
of my goals and thanks to Ryan.
I’m one step closer to realizing my
goals and dreams!"
"Ryan did an
excellent job of helping my wife and I
get started in real estate. We
called on his ad and since meeting with
Ryan, our fears of getting involved in
real estate have been overcome. Ryan
has done more that we could have ever
asked. His expertise and knowldege
in the industry has helped us make a
sound investment decision. He has
taken the time to explain everything to
us and has been with us every step of
the way from the beginning till even
after the purchase."
"I met Ryan
a couple month ago. We talked about his
experiences in Real Estate as an
Investor and I was realy impressed. A
week later we found a 4-plex in that
Area I was looking and we closed about 6
weeks later.
"I am a fan
of the Rich Dad Poor Dad books, and I am
a believer in residual income. I saw
Ryan’s ad in the paper and answered it.
We met and I was impressed with his real
estate knowledge as well the cash flow
scenarios he presented on Excel
spreadsheets. I then got qualified to
purchase investment property. We looked
at several properties and on October
30th 2003, I became the owner of a
beautiful 4 bedroom home. Ryan suggested
how to word the ads for tenants, check
references, and show the property. My
property is rented out with a positive
cash flow. I am the owner of an
appreciating asset. Plus, I am glad that
I did not let my fear of failure get the
best of me. I intend on purchasing more
properties in the future and I am quite
happy being the owner of investment
property."
"After
purchasing and studying Carleton Sheet's
program I was excited
"I was
searching through the Sunday paper
calling and speaking some of the
realtors that claimed to specialize in
investment properties and spoke with
about 3 people before I found Ryan.
Within the first minute or two of
talking with him I could tell he was
going to be the one for me to work with.
When working with him he always
addressed every single question and
concern I had and made me feel very
comfortable all the way through closing.
Where he shines above the rest is how he
walks you through everything every step
of the way and has the experience and
knowledge to be able to give direction
when needed. I must have looked at at
least 20 houses before I felt
comfortable making an offer on one and I
loved that I never felt pressured at any
time. Through just one deal with Ryan I
know he will be my realtor for life!"
I found
Ryan very knowledgeable, low pressure
and flexible to work with. Ryan
sent me valuable information on the
rental market and is a trusting
resource! Great Guy!"
"My name is Jake Roberts. My wife Laurie and I were referred to Ryan and his team by our financial advisor Adam Hartung. We were at a point trying to think about good ways to invest in real estate. We then attended one of Rob Bonahoom and Ryan's seminars that discussed the process in real estate investing. After that seminar, we were really impressed with the presentation, and more importantly, with Ryan and Rob.
After that experience, we decided to rent out our then current home and purchase another home. With the help of Ryan and Rob, that became a reality within a couple of months. The process was smooth and painless. They do a really nice job of making the process smooth and comfortable. After that process, we went on to purchase another property. Once again, the experience was wonderful and painless. We had that property rented out almost immediately. None of this would not have been possible without Ryan and Rob.
"From the
beginning, Ryan wanted to establish
a long-term relationship with me.
I feel he does a fantastic job in this
area. He'll meet with me and we'll chat
about real estate or anything that's on
our minds. He really makes you feel like
you can be a good friend of his because
he is so approachable and easy to talk
to. He wants to establish a trusting
relationship between us. In addition, he
goes out of his way to return your
calls. "I had always wanted to buy a rental property but I had shied away because of the unknowns. I thought that I had to have huge amounts of money just sitting in a checking account in order to be able to do it. I also thought that it might be difficult to get a property rented. I went to a seminar put on by Rob and Ryan and learned differently on both fronts. Both Rob and Ryan were extremely responsive to any questions or concerns that I had. I went to the seminar in March, bought a property in April and closed in May. I had my property rented before I even closed. It was easier than I thought."
"Ryan has been my realtor for two years. I have very good buying and selling experiences with him. He also helped me a lot with my rental questions on my rental property. He always returns my phone messages and voice messages promptly with
knowledgeable answers. Recently, he sold my rental property in just ONE day with the fair market price, which is very impressive. He is a realtor who put his clients first. I am very happy to have him to help me with my real estate needs."
"For anyone serious about increasing their net worth, I would strongly
recommend checking out Ryan O'Neill's system of buying and holding
single family homes as rental properties. He and his associate, Rob
Bonahoom at Cornerstone Mortgage have a comprehensive approach that will
teach you which properties to look for, how to finance them to break
even or better, how to get them rented, and then continue to acquire
properties as your equity grows. Their system is simple, financially
sound and makes use of appreciating assets that have tax benefits all
the while you own them. I found, purchased, financed, closed and rented
out my first property with Ryan and Rob's team within a month of first
meeting Ryan using the equity in my home for the down payment. Ryan and
Rob have a professional approach that will take you through each step of
the process. I'm looking forward to my next purchase with them."
"For anyone looking to learn more about real estate investing, Ryan
O'Neill's system, is something not to pass on. My wife and I had thought
about rental properties for a few years but didn't know where to start
and had many questions. Ryan's seminar answered many of those questions
and he was available whenever we have a questions or concern about the
rental process. I would recommend Ryan and his team to anyone looking to
learn more or start investing in rental properties right away."
"I have the history of the typical wanna be investor. I've spent years thinking about doing this, knowing it must be possible-somehow, hearing about successful people and the not so successful people, reading and hearing from "the masters" but mostly being warned that I do not want to do this. I am here to tell you that you do not have to be afraid. You will not have to spend thousands to get involved. Ryan and his team will guide you every step of the way, generously sharing the things they know and not letting you go ahead if you are not ready. They are unselfish and a great bunch to work with. Besides knowledge and experience (everyone on the team has rental properties) these people are of great character. You will be pleasantly surprised. The Twin Cities if very blessed to have the O'Neill team in our town and you will be blessed working with them. And so, with the ease of an experienced one, your journey will begin. "Ryan was and still is great to work with. He is a great resource for
the average investor. He pointed me in the right direction and gave me
information I never would have received if it wasn't for him. He was
always available to answer any questions and even kept in touch with me
after the purchase to make sure my home got rented. His staff was also
great to work with. They are very friendly and helpful. I would
recommend to anyone who is looking get into real estate investing to
call Ryan."
"After attending a MnRealEstateTeam seminar on single family homes as an investment vehicle,
I went to Rob Reinke, their North Suburb Market specialist for assistance in purchasing my first investment property.
Rob and I toured multiple homes over a two week period, sometimes several in one day and sometimes
"on the fly", ie. calling seller's agents and getting in to see properties that same day, right
off of the for sale signs in the area I was interested in as we drove by. As an investor himself,
Rob had developed an excellent feel for which properties would be good candidates for investment as
well as a knowledge of the market in my area. We put in an offer that was accepted with minor changes.
Within a month of starting with Rob and his MnRealEstateTeam, I owned a very nice maintenance-free,
5 bedroom, two bath split level in Shoreview. Rob did the photos for my website ad and I had renters
all lined up before closing. I would strongly recommend Rob Reinke for his professionalism, work ethic
and market knowledge as your buyer's agent.I know I'm going to work with Rob on my second investment home."
"Ryan and his team have been very important to us as we started to learn about investment property. We purchased one investment property with their guidance, now we are looking for our second investment property with them as well. They are knowledgeable, patient, and committed to helping average investors succeed. I highly recommend working with them."
