This reply might be 4/5 years too late... but perhaps better late than never?
I started as an investor with Roof4All (in 2015), but now (since 2017) direct their business development side of the business. It truly is a unique business in a niche part of the real estate industry. I own a financial services business and was absolutely blown away by the R4A strategy (of course now, I'm biased). In any case, I'll just briefly summarize some parts of the business below and let the facts speak for themselves. Anyone who'd like more information (no commitment) can feel free to message me. myname at company name dot com (danielkoh @ company name)
Roof4All provides an alternative way for investors to passively (no active management) invest in government subsidized real estate. The contracts are short (3 years) and returns are fixed (like a bank CD). The biggest question is always "how much?" Let's just say it hugely beats inflation, even with recent upticks in inflation data. Funds are always collateralized with tenant stabilized real estate (similar to Turnkey properties, but no need to manage them). Investors can decide to receive consistent & predictable income on a monthly, quarterly, bi-annual, or annual basis. Alternatively, a compound interest option with a persistency bonus is also available.
We provide safety by utilizing the US Government's HUD's (Housing & Urban Development Department) Section 8 program, specifically the Housing Choice Voucher Program, which subsidizes the rents of disadvantaged families. In the Midwest, where we operate, our subsidies are quite high (up to 100% of rents). As such, most, or even all of the rent, is paid directly to us from the government and does not go through our tenants. Ultimately, this means our cash flow is consistent and predictable, which is how we can provide the same experience to our investors. Imagine never needing to worry about rent collection...
Furthermore, all investors are collateralized as first position lien holders. 1 property, 1 investor. A similar example would be my personal mortgage, where my Big 4 bank is the lien holder in first position on my property. If I default or run, bye bye home. This is how we provide security and peace of mind to our investors.
Our home office is in Kansas City, MO and allows us to manage our holdings locally, and not from 3,000 miles away. Our local staff is well versed in managing Section 8 rental properties. We work with both qualified (pre-tax - IRA) and non-qualified (post tax - Cash, 1031 Exchanges) funds. There is no lag time with us and investors begin earning interest the day funds are received. We are perfect for those looking for a high net fixed strategy collateralized by a hard asset. Don't let your hard earned money languish in a low interest environment.
