Our rental properties are located in some of the hottest real estate markets in the US at the moment. We operate in several growing rental markets across the US that currently have everything investors should look for.
Choosing the best real estate markets for rental property investment is the most important step.

We can assure you that investing in our rental properties can help you generate good cash flow and a stronger ROI.

This process also helps you as an investor to diversify your portfolio of rental properties.

Marco has always been the most candid and trusted advisor, in bad & good, that I've had. So GLAD I gave followed him through the years.
Dustin H.
Thank you Marco. You are doing great work and as I am just getting started I look to you and your team for guidance and mentorship through our interactions, your podcast and your online resources — thank you for being a mentor (and you don't even know it. 🙂
Dave F.
Thanks again Marco. Norada has really been a great help to me and my family and our financial goals.
D. Ferguson
I'm real close to finalizing the first 4 homes through norada. It's been a great experience thus far.
H. Kromer
This was my first time using Norada to purchase a turnkey property out of state, and I have had a great experience working with them. Michael was great to work with. He definitely over-delivered and was invaluable to ensure the deal closed successfully.
Linnea M.
I worked with Norada to purchase my very first investment property in Indianapolis. Steve Olsen was my guide throughout the process and he was fantastic. I had a lot of “newbie” questions that he was able to very quickly help me answer. He put me in touch with their provider in Indy, and helped cultivate that relationship. They were both very knowledgeable about the Indianapolis market, the positives and negatives, and provide a great product at a good price, along with excellent customer service. Many thanks, Norada!
Kristin Y.
Norada really helped my husband and I understand in very simple terms what it means to be a passive investor, and motivate and drive us to action. We couldn't be happier with our decision to invest. We are calling this our new baby's college savings plan!
C. Horvilleur
I look forward to working with you again soon to get another property! I had a great experience and thank you!
Jim Rose
One of your current clients, Lance, referred me to Norada and it really was a true turnkey experience from start to finish. This was the first property that I have purchased and Marco guided me through the whole process. I will be buying another home in the next 4 months from Norada because I am confident in their concepts and principles in building wealth.
D. Castleberry
For my first turn-key rental property purchases I chose to go with Norada due to Marcos experience, knowledge and decent deals available. The overal purchasing experience went smoothly and Marco was more than willing to answer any and all of the questions I had, and was upfront about everything. I'll be more than likely to purchase more properties from Norada in the near future.
D. Cerecedes
I was interested in building my investment portfolio through passive income properties and really was having a hard time deciding what areas to target. I came across Norada Real Estate while listening to a real estate podcast and loved hearing about what they provide. It was a great decision to work with Norada. I couldn't be happier with the property I've acquired with positive net cash flow each month is the icing on the cake. Look forward to building my portfolio even larger!!! Thank you Norada – especially Michael!!
LeRand D.
You read my mind. That would be great and VERY much appreciated. That kind of assistance is what makes Norada a cut above the rest!
D. Jaggi
Love the quick response!
N. Suphatta
Michael Ristau has been helping me with my first property. …he is very responsive and followed up on any question I have for him.
Greg R.
Michael did an outstanding job of talking me through the process, being available anytime I needed (which is a very important quality in this business and separated me from 2-3 other similar companies) and getting me in touch with all of the necessary contacts and local market players where I wanted to invest. The team he put me in touch with was thorough, fair, and supportive through the entire process. I look forward to working with Norada again shortly.
