Roofstock

Roofstock is a leading online platform for investing in single-family rental (SFR) properties. Founded in 2015, the company uses proprietary data and technology to make real estate investing more accessible and efficient. Roofstock's core offering is its online marketplace where investors can browse and purchase tenant-occupied rental homes across the US. The platform provides detailed property information, including inspection reports, 3D models, financial projections, and neighborhood data to help investors make informed decisions.

In addition to individual property purchases, Roofstock offers other investment options. Roofstock One allows accredited investors to buy shares in portfolios of SFR properties with a minimum investment of USD 5,000. The company also provides a self-directed IRA option for tax-advantaged real estate investing. To support new investors, Roofstock Academy offers educational courses and coaching on SFR investing strategies.

Roofstock aims to streamline the real estate transaction process and reduce costs compared to traditional methods. For buyers, the platform charges a marketplace fee of 0.5% or USD 500 (whichever is greater) per transaction. Sellers pay a 3% listing fee or USD 2,500 (whichever is greater). The company has facilitated over USD 5 billion in transaction volume since its founding.
