Who We Are

Built by Foreign Investors, for Foreign Investors

Cashflow Rentals was founded by David and Jo Garner. David began investing in U.S. real estate from overseas in 2016, and Jo joined him in 2018.

Like many of our clients, we started our journey looking for a way to build long-term wealth through U.S. rental property. Along the way, we experienced both the successes and the challenges that come with investing in real estate from another country.

Since 2016, David has personally purchased 120+ rental properties across multiple U.S. markets. During that time we have lived in, and managed, our portfolio from Australia, Europe, and Latin America.

We have navigated multiple U.S. housing markets, financing challenges, renovations, difficult tenants, market cycles, and the countless decisions that come with building a real estate portfolio and managing it remotely.

Those experiences shaped the investment philosophy we follow today, and which we encourage our clients to replicate. Rather than chasing unrealistic returns or speculative high-risk projects, we focus on high-quality properties, conservative deal underwriting, and thorough due diligence, with long-term ownership and wealth creation in mind from day one.

We created Cashflow Rentals because we saw a need for a different approach. One that combines real-world investing experience with honest guidance, transparency, and ongoing support.

Our Story

Why We Invest Differently

If you've spent any time researching U.S. real estate investing, you've probably seen plenty of sellers promising exceptionally high returns. In most cases, these opportunities are based on buying the cheapest properties possible, often in very challenging neighborhoods.

We learned this lesson the hard way, through our personal portfolio and an earlier company, years before Cashflow Rentals was founded in 2024. By 2022, we had scaled to over 120 rental properties. On paper, it looked like a huge success. In reality, a large part of that portfolio eventually turned cash flow negative. Tenant turnover, constant repairs, and properties we could never quite get ahead of pushed us to the point of nearly losing everything we'd built.

Part of the damage came from people we trusted. A U.S. real estate broker and contractor we worked with defrauded us, and some of the lenders on that earlier portfolio, by providing inflated valuations and not completing rehab work that had been scheduled and paid for. It's a big reason we now insist on independent inspections and appraisals on every property.

We made the decision to sell. Across the portfolio as a whole, we lost money, and we lost some properties to foreclosure. We're not going to pretend otherwise.

What we kept, and rebuilt around, was a small number of properties that had quietly been performing well the entire time, with better neighborhoods, better renovations, and better tenants. That became the foundation of our strategy today.

Successful long-term investing isn't about chasing the highest projected return. It's about owning quality assets that produce reliable results in the real world.

What is Cashflow Rentals' investment philosophy?

Cashflow Rentals focuses on fully renovated, low-maintenance properties in stable neighborhoods with strong rental demand. Their strategy emphasizes conservative deal underwriting, professional property management, independent inspections and appraisals, predictable long-term financing, and long-term ownership, rather than chasing the highest projected returns or speculative value-add projects.

Is Cashflow Rentals a real estate broker?

No. Cashflow Rentals is a consultancy. It does not act as a real estate broker, mortgage broker or investment advisor, and works alongside licensed agents, lenders, title companies and property managers.

How does Cashflow Rentals help foreign investors?

Cashflow Rentals provides end-to-end support for foreign nationals investing in U.S. rental properties. Services include sourcing fully renovated properties across the U.S. Midwest; introductions to foreign national DSCR lenders; assisting with U.S. LLC setup; coordinating independent inspections and appraisals; guiding buyers through remote closing; and handing over to vetted local property managers, with ongoing owner-level support after purchase.

How many investors has Cashflow Rentals helped?

Since 2024, Cashflow Rentals clients have closed more than 50 U.S. property purchases. Most of our investor inquiries come from Canada, Taiwan and Colombia.

How does Cashflow Rentals make money?

Cashflow Rentals is a consultancy paid in four ways: a buyer services fee that clients pay for each property, consulting fees for separate sourcing engagements, marketing fees from U.S. property providers whose properties we list, and referral fees from some service partners. We never accept fees from lenders or mortgage brokers. The buyer services fee is set out in a signed Buyer Services Agreement before we show you any properties.

Has David Garner ever lost money investing?

Yes, before founding Cashflow Rentals. By 2022, through his personal portfolio and an earlier company, David had scaled to more than 120 U.S. rental properties, many of them low-cost homes in challenging neighborhoods, and a large part of the portfolio turned cash flow negative. The problems were made worse by a U.S. real estate broker and contractor who defrauded David and some of his lenders by providing inflated valuations and not completing rehab work that had been scheduled and paid for. David sold most of the portfolio and lost money overall, including some properties lost to foreclosure, then rebuilt around the small number of properties that had performed well: fully renovated homes in stable neighborhoods with good long-term tenants. That experience shaped the Cashflow Rentals investment philosophy, including independent inspections and appraisals on every property. Cashflow Rentals, founded in 2024 as CFR Property Consultants, LLC, is a separate business.

Where is Cashflow Rentals based?

Cashflow Rentals is operated remotely by co-founders David and Jo Garner, who are currently based in Brazil. As foreign investors themselves, they manage both their personal U.S. rental portfolio and their client services entirely remotely, demonstrating that overseas investors can successfully own and manage U.S. real estate without being physically present in the United States. Cashflow Rentals is the trading name of CFR Property Consultants, LLC, a Wyoming company.
