[Note from editor: The “Mastermind Showcase” highlights companies and news from members of the GEM. Today’s showcase: Roofstock.]

A real estate investment marketplace, Roofstock enables first-time investors to global asset managers evaluate, purchase and own residential investment properties.. The Roofstock Marketplace provides search tools to browse SFR’s across the country paired with institutional-level analytics. Roofstock One allows users to buy shares of SFRs  for as little as $5,000 and receive reports of performance, while its partnership with Lennar enables investors to purchase newly built homes. When you’re ready to sell, Roofstock Offers will offer cash for qualified rental properties without the need for maintenance, staging, or showing for a 3% service fee. 

Investors can also use Roofstock to  manage and monitor a property portfolio. Acquired in 2021, Stessa keeps track of rental property performance, accounting, and financial health. For property management, Roofstock connects real estate investors with preferred property managers or their tech-enabled property manager, Great Jones (2021 acquisition).

What we like: Founded in 2015, the company has a big head start in a fractional investment sector that is growing increasingly crowded, strong founder pedigree and real estate background, and is well-positioned for a robo-advisor future.
