Roofstock
Data-driven marketplace for buying and selling single-family rental homes.
About
Roofstock, founded in 2015 in Oakland, is an online marketplace purpose-built for single-family rental investing: listings come pre-certified with inspections, cap-rate estimates, rent estimates, neighborhood ratings, and projected cash flow so remote buyers can evaluate deals without visiting. It reports over $6B in facilitated transactions and raised a SoftBank-led Series E at a $1.94B valuation. Sellers pay around 2.5% and buyers around 0.5% in transaction fees, and Roofstock One offers fractional ownership. It is analytics-heavy proptech rather than conversational AI, and buying sight unseen still demands real due diligence.
