Built on Curiosity. Driven by the Value of Land

R&R REI Investments LLC didn’t begin as a grand plan to build a company—it started with curiosity.

In early 2025, founders Devin Rivet and Elijah Riley completed their first vacant land transaction, a double lot, and quickly noticed something most people overlooked: valuable land sitting unused. While others focused on new construction or turnkey homes, they saw opportunity in what many considered “empty.”

To them, land was never forgotten or unimportant. It was the foundation of everything in real estate. Without it, nothing can be built.

That belief pushed them to take action. Instead of waiting for opportunities, they began creating them—building relationships with landowners, builders, and local professionals to form a simpler, more transparent way to buy and sell property. That first deal shaped the foundation of R&R REI Investments LLC and defined how the company operates today.

As their experience grew, they realized many property owners hold vacant land they don’t actively use and often don’t know how to turn into real value. Most weren’t trying to become developers or investors. They simply wanted honest guidance and a straightforward solution.

R&R REI Investments LLC was built to solve that problem.

Today, we are one of the trusted companies that buy land directly from owners. We provide fair offers, cash for land, and a simple process for those who want to move on without delays, commissions, or uncertainty. For sellers who prefer to avoid listings, we make it possible to sell land without a realtor and stay fully in control of the timeline.

At our core, we buy land to create win-win outcomes—helping owners unlock value while ensuring properties are put to productive use through responsible development or our network of trusted builder partners.

In addition to vacant land, we specialize in package-style opportunities, including:

Purchasing homes and vacant land together
Facilitating off-market and creative sales of existing homes
Subdivision opportunities
Commercial residential land
Commercial vacant land
Single-family through four-unit zoned vacant land

When a project aligns with our expertise, we build. When it doesn’t, we connect landowners with the right partners. Either way, our role remains the same: simplify the process, stay transparent, and create outcomes that work for everyone involved.

Guided by integrity, service, and long-term relationships, R&R REI Investments LLC exists to help landowners realize the full potential of their property—while contributing to thoughtful, responsible development. We don’t just facilitate transactions. We build partnerships.

Our Team

Elijah

Elijah Riley was born and raised between Newport and Providence, Rhode Island, and brings over five years of experience as a licensed real estate agent—a role he continues to actively practice today.

He has worked across all facets of real estate, with a strong focus on land sourcing, zoning analysis, and development-oriented opportunities. His experience spans single-family residential transactions, vacant land acquisition and development, and working directly with investors on residential and commercial projects, including commercial leasing. Elijah has closed tens of millions of dollars in real estate transactions across diverse asset classes.

Elijah specialise in identifying and sourcing vacant land, interpreting zoning and entitlement constraints, and navigating complex real estate scenarios from raw land to new construction and redevelopment. He is known for uncovering value in non-obvious deals and for coordinating the right resources to move projects forward efficiently.

His problem-solving mindset and development-focused approach make him a trusted partner for vacant landowners, developers, and investors.

“My goal is simple: to offer solutions. Real estate allows me to combine problem-solving, communication, strategy, and service to help people achieve meaningful, long-term success.

Devin

Born and raised in Providence, Rhode Island, I bring a local-first mindset to real estate investing across New England. I’ve been involved in a wide range of real estate transactions, including single-family homes, multifamily properties, and vacant land, with a core focus on sourcing overlooked and off-market opportunities for new construction, developing/sourcing off market land.

In addition to investing, I’m an active property manager in the Boston market, working directly with owners, tenants, and vendors. This hands-on role gives me practical insight into day-to-day operations, maintenance, and long-term asset performance, allowing me to evaluate opportunities with a disciplined, numbers-driven approach.

I’m a graduate of Arizona State University with a bachelor’s degree in Public Health, and I apply the same analytical mindset from my academic background to real estate investing and decision-making.

Outside of real estate, I’ve played professional rugby for over five years. That experience has shaped my approach to business through a strong emphasis on teamwork, resilience, accountability, and execution.
