How do you get started in real estate investing outside of your local area? Are you struggling to get started in a different state? Trying to figure out how to find properties outside the area in which you live?

Today, Clint Coons of Anderson Business Advisors talks to Gary Beasley, Co-founder and CEO of Roofstock, a leading real estate investment marketplace. Gary explains how to start investing in real estate that is not in your local area, but in markets where you get higher cap rates and properties without having to put in hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Gary has spent most of his career building businesses in the real estate, hospitality, and technology sectors. Before starting Roofstock, Gary led one of the largest single-family rental platforms in the United States through its IPO as Co-CEO of Starwood Waypoint Residential Trust, now part of Invitation Homes.
