EFP 194: The Roofstock Marketplace

While we may be a little biased when it comes to investment opportunities on the market today, we are also open to discussing the idea of comparing the RE market to what online assets offer in terms of ROI (return on investment).

In this episode of the podcast, Joe and I sit down with Roofstock’s founder, Gary Beasley, for an in-depth interview that covers the founding and scaling of Roofstock, how Roofstock works for both sellers and investors, and the unique challenges that come with running a 2-sided marketplace.

We discuss how the RE market as a whole is much more mature in terms of lifespan within the investment market, but also how online businesses offer much higher cashflow opportunities. We take a closer look at what works, and what doesn’t in the RE industry if you are looking to diversify your investment portfolio.
