Our Story
YD Fortune, LLC was founded by Ricki Li in July 2018 as a company dedicated to providing comprehensive real estate investor services, including property management and development for large-scale real estate projects. Striving to set itself apart in the real estate industry, YD Fortune established an operation model that optimizes efficiency for development and management cycles, improving the overall return rate and shortening return periods.
YD Fortune later launched Ramblei, a platform aimed at increasing profitability for real estate investors while marketing real estate investment projects. During the COVID-19 pandemic, when many businesses struggled, YD Fortune capitalized on the instability in the real estate industry, particularly in the rental market, and adapted to the challenges.
​
Recognizing the emerging trend in short-term rentals, YD Fortune expanded its short-term rental division in early 2019, renting and managing several properties in prime locations. The company renovated these properties and listed them on various short-term rental platforms. This strategic move proved successful during the pandemic, as people studying and working in the Greater Philadelphia area were uncertain about long-term rentals due to changing school and company social distancing policies.
​
YD Fortune's success during the pandemic solidified the short-term rental business model as a long-term growth strategy, with plans for large-scale expansion in the future.
