Resident to Resident Real Estate

R2R Real Estate aims to connect buyers and sellers who are in residency or medical school around the country, for free, as well as discounts for rental apartments.

Founded by Rahul Gokhale, a 2006 graduate of the Orthopaedic Surgery residency program at the University of Cincinnati. Together with his wife, they created Resident to Resident (R2R) Real Estate, LLC. R2R was borne out of frustration with the inability to sell their town home in a timely fashion. Their property was on the market from March 2006 until its sale in August of 2007. For an entire year during his fellowship, they were forced to pay rent in one place and mortgage back in Cincinnati.
