Roofstock is changing the way people invest in real estate. It is an innovative marketplace and transaction platform for the $2 trillion single-family rental property sector. Roofstock’s online marketplace eliminates the long delays and high transaction costs common to traditional real estate rental transactions, allowing investors to buy and sell certified, leased homes in a transparent, easy, low-friction way. Investors can also buy fractionalized ownership in baskets of cash-flowing rental homes. Roofstock enables investors to treat their real estate investments more like stock portfolios, focusing on asset allocation, rather than dealing with the hassles of researching and buying vacant homes that need to be repaired and leased.
