Founded in 2008 by international real estate expert Ronan McMahon, RETA is designed for individuals looking to profit from global real estate trends by purchasing properties at below-market prices before they hit the general market.
Members receive in-depth market research, special investment opportunities negotiated by Ronan and his team, and insights into upcoming hotspots poised for significant appreciation. Many of these deals are pre-construction condos in high-demand locations, offering strong potential for capital growth and rental income.
