Meet Renest: The AI-Powered Real Estate Agent for Rent-to-Own
We’re Not a Bank or Landlord — We’re the AI Infrastructure That Powers Rent-to-Own Transactions

Renest earns recurring revenue every year a tenant rents, all the way through to full ownership — creating predictable, long-term cash flow without owning the property.

The Broken System
The housing market is failing an entire generation:
74% of young individuals can't save a deposit
Renters pay 45%+ of their income with $0 equity
Banks punish gig workers, migrants, and anyone without perfect credit
The current system benefits no one — and it's ripe for reinvention.
Owning Investment Property is Broken for Landlords Too
  • Traditional landlords face low net yields — often under 2–3% after costs
  • They’re responsible for maintenance, vacancies, and tenant risk
  • Property management fees, legal compliance, and insurance eat up returns
  • Short-term renters offer no loyalty or stability
  • Every lease renewal is a gamble — will the tenant stay? Will they pay?
