About Us
|
The RBCA represents the interests of ethical & professional smaller and larger landlords alike, whose rental business is already specialised, or looking to become more specialised, in the purchase of properties at below market value and renting them back to their former owners over a number of years.
We believe that ethical & professional landlords can offer a "triple-win" outcome to distressed homeowners and mortgage lenders, without the emotional trauma, financial damage, and social upheaval that repossession and eviction inevitably brings.
The Association is managed by a non-profit making company (Rent Back CA Limited) whose five founder directors formed the founding RBCA Council. At the first AGM in October 2008, the Council was elected by the members of the Association, and is authorised by the members to represent their interests in negotiation with third parties, and to adjudicate disputes between Members and their Rent Back Tenants.
The Current Council of the Rent Back Charter Association is:
- Glenn Armstrong, Chairman; 48 years old
(www.glennarmstrong.com): based in Milton Keynes, Glenn has built a portfolio of 200 rented properties since starting up in 2004; most of his portfolio was acquired using rent back structures; he also runs mentoring and training courses, sharing his property system with many new landlords, several of whom now own over 30 properties.
- Kevan Keegan, Director & Membership Secretary; 53 yrs old
responsible for the launch of the Association, Kevan purchased his first and so far only let property in 2007, having pursued a career providing consultancy advice to several specialist lenders and to major housing associations and house builders; in 2006 he helped launch a new lender specialising in buy-to-let, becoming Commercial Director and creating mortgages tailored for the Rent Back sector.
