Don Ganguly from INVESTimate through HomeUnion joins me on the show today. We’ll chat about working with investors, his platform, and his support through NARPM. He’s a key new vendor who you should absolutely check out (once you’re done listening to our conversation in this episode)!
A self-described serial entrepreneur, Don came up with the idea of creating a platform that allows investors to invest in rental properties the same way they invest in stocks and bonds, with a risk and rewards calibration. INVESTimate is the result, as he’ll explain today. The system doesn’t calculate the risk and reward based on just a straightforward number like the expected rent amount, but instead takes many different factors into account. In fact, they’ve mapped every neighborhood in the United States and scored it from A to D depending on risk and expected reward.
I love the reports that come from Don’s company, because they go so far beyond just school district and curb appeal. That’s right; those factors alone aren’t enough to base your decision on anymore. I’ll let him explain to you what he includes in his awesome reports, and how they can help an investor decide whether to invest in a particular property.
Tune into this episode to learn all about those things, as well as to hear Don’s thoughts on pocket listings, turnkey properties, relationship and referral opportunities for property managers using INVESTimate, and more. If you’re ready to move up the food chain of property managers, don’t miss this conversation!
