Contestant's Case to Win

Resident to Resident (R2R) Real Estate connects buyers, sellers, lessees, and lessors who are in residency or medical school around the country for free.

I started R2R Real Estate after suffering through my own housing disaster at the end of residency training 3 years ago. I believe two key ingredients form the foundation of this business. One is the predictable turnover of medical students and residents every year thus creating a built-in "medical real estate" market. The other is camaraderie and the genuine interest of a resident or student to help out a fellow doctor-in-training.

Since most members are cash-strapped and 6 figures in debt, the site has proved invaluable for them during this current recession and housing slump. As a result, R2R has garnered attention in the American Medical Association Newsletter, American Medical Student Association Newsletter, Chicago Magazine, Fast Company Magazine, along with several medically related blogs and medical institution websites.

In our first full year, the site amassed 1300+ members (medical students and residents) with 300+ properties listed for sale or lease. We are currently redesigning the site with exciting new features. Please vote for R2R Real Estate to help us gain more nationwide exposure!
