Skyline REI
A real, funded real estate buying entity based in Fresno, California.
We buy single homes, portfolios of 2–8+ properties, tenant-occupied rentals, and properties in any condition. When we make an offer, we close. No wholesaling. No assignment of contracts. No bait-and-switch.
The Buying Entity Behind Alder Heritage Homes
Skyline REI is the acquisition entity operated by Connor Alder, a licensed California real estate agent (DRE #02219124) based in Fresno. While Alder Heritage Homes is the public-facing brand, Skyline REI is the entity that holds, acquires, and in some cases renovates the properties we purchase.
We are not a wholesaling operation. We do not lock up properties under contract and then try to sell those contracts to real investors. We are the real investors. When you see "Skyline REI" on a purchase agreement, that means we are the actual buyer — funded, committed, and ready to close.
If you've been burned by a wholesaler before — someone who tied up your property, wasted your time, and never closed — you already understand why this distinction matters. Skyline REI has the capital to close on the day we say we will. Period.
We specialize in situations that require a real buyer with real experience: portfolio acquisitions, tenant-occupied properties, stigmatized homes, severe deferred maintenance, and any situation where a traditional buyer or a wholesaler would walk away.
Built for Deals Nobody Else Will Touch
Real Capital, Real Closings
Skyline REI is a funded buying entity. We do not assign contracts. We do not wholesale. When we make an offer, we close — every time.
Portfolio Acquisitions
We specialize in buying multiple properties from a single seller in one transaction. Landlords with 2, 4, 8, or more homes — we can buy them all at once.
Tenant-Occupied Properties
We buy homes with tenants still in place. No need to evict, no need to wait. We handle the transition and the tenant relationships after closing.
1031 Exchange Ready
Selling a portfolio to Skyline REI can unlock a 1031 exchange into a more stable, lower-maintenance asset. Our broker network can help you identify and close on the replacement property within the required timeline.
Licensed & Transparent
Skyline REI operates under the license of Alder Heritage Homes (CA DRE #02219124). Every transaction includes a free third-party broker opinion of value so you know the offer is fair.
Any Condition, Any Situation
Stigmatized properties, code violations, deferred maintenance, squatters, pest infestations — we have purchased them all. If you have a property nobody else will touch, call us.
Deals We've Closed
These are real transactions. Not hypotheticals, not marketing copy — actual deals Skyline REI has closed in the Central Valley.
4-Home Portfolio — Downtown Fresno
$1,100,000Four single-family rentals purchased in a single transaction. Tenants remained in place throughout. No inspections. Quick close. The seller had been tied up twice before by wholesalers who had no capital and never closed.
8-Home Portfolio — Central Valley (2024)
8 HomesEight single-family rental homes purchased from one tired landlord in 2024. All acquired in a single transaction, allowing the seller to 1031 exchange into a more stable, lower-maintenance asset class.
Clovis — Stigmatized Property
$200,000Double homicide history. Two-year squatter. No water, no sewer. Full of trash. Purchased as-is without an interior inspection. The seller needed a real buyer — not a wholesaler with a contract and no capital.
Illinois Ave — Fresno Flip
Full Flip5 break-ins. Heavy vandalism. Bed bugs, cockroaches, and rats at time of purchase. Bought, remediated, and fully renovated. The kind of property every wholesaler walks away from — we close on them.
Selling a Portfolio? We Make It Simple.
If you own multiple single-family rentals and you're tired of the maintenance, the tenant calls, and the property management headaches — Skyline REI can buy all of them in a single transaction. You don't need to list them individually, find separate buyers, or coordinate multiple closings.
A larger transaction also creates a significant opportunity: a 1031 exchange into a more stable, lower-maintenance asset class. Whether that's a net-lease commercial property, a multifamily building, or a different investment vehicle — our broker network can help you identify and close on the replacement property within the required 45/180-day timeline.
We will not make money from the replacement property transaction. Our broker network handles that. We refer you because we want to help you, not because we get a cut.
Real example: One landlord, 4 homes, $1,100,000 — Downtown Fresno
This seller had been approached by two wholesalers before us. Both tied him up in contracts, wasted months of his time, and never closed — because they had no capital. He finally came to Skyline REI. We bought all four homes with tenants still in place, no inspections, and closed quickly. He used the proceeds to 1031 into a net-lease property with zero maintenance and a guaranteed monthly check.
