I'm very excited about today's interview with Gary Beasley, CEO & Co-Founder of Roofstock. He was just a regular guy when I met him years ago. Today, he’s a leader in the institutional investment space and a true disrupter within the single-family rental asset class.   In this episode, you’ll hear his thoughts on how the housing market has evolved since the 2008 meltdown, how he has transitioned his own real estate investing strategy over the years, and why he thinks that the single-family rental space is an asset class that will remain in high demand.   Before Roofstock, Gary was CFO of ZipRealty and Co-CEO of Starwood Waypoint Residential Trust which is now part of Invitation Homes, leading both through successful IPOs. In addition, he’s been instrumental in acquiring and integrating more than $800 million in resort properties for KSL Resorts and has served as CEO for boutique hotel management company Joie De Vivre Hospitality.   Gary earned his BA in Economics from Northwestern and holds an MBA from Stanford. He now leads Roofstock with a valuable perspective on the use of technology in the real estate industry and challenges the way things have been done with the question: “What’s next?”   You can follow him at these social media sites: LinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/gary-beasley-956647 Twitter - @garybeas2013   To find out more about how you can benefit from real estate, sign up as a RealWealth member.
