Hello!
Anyone here familiar with/used Roofstock?
My impression is that it is the "AOL of First Time Landlording" -- perfect for a beginner like me venturing beyond REITs.
I assume there are better deals to be had, and certainly less expensive to self-manage, but as a beginner this appeals. My hesitation is ownership across state lines (even with the assistance of a management company).
Honestly: once bitten, twice shy. I bought real estate in another market ten years ago as a complete novice because my home market is very expensive. It tanked, caused much grief, and is still underwater. Yet, I'm ready to try again.
