The Five W’s of Investing with Doorvest

Doorvest isn’t just another investing platform, because you aren’t just another investor. We’re revolutionizing the process and ease of buying and owning income-generating homes, making real estate investing more feasible (and enjoyable!) for the modern investor.

We know you work hard for your money, and we want your money to work hard for you, too. Doorvestors aren’t just investors to us, they’re everyday people -- just like you -- who are looking to grow their personal wealth and achieve financial independence.

Picking the right services for you and your money can be a challenge. Where should I invest? How much? We totally understand the uncertainty, and here at Doorvest, we’re making it easy for you to determine if Doorvest is the right fit for your investing goals.

Spoiler: we think it might be!

Here’s all you need to know about the big W’s of Doorvest: Who, What, When, Where, and Why.

What is Doorvest?

Simply put, Doorvest makes real estate investing easy. We’ve modernized the antiquated process of buying investment properties, and we’ve created a frictionless way to buy and own income-generating rental homes -- all entirely online.

Our team of experts collaborates with you, the investor, to set investment goals and to determine your affordable budget. Then we get to work identifying up-and-coming markets, finding and purchasing your ideal home, facilitating any repairs, placing residents, and managing your property for the long-term.

Our mission at Doorvest is to democratize the path to financial independence, making wealth-building investments more accessible to everyone.

Who is Doorvest right for?

Doorvestors differ by profile, but their end goal is always the same. The ideal Doorvestor is someone who’s looking to put their money to work and to grow their personal wealth. They have savings to invest (as little as $20k!) and they want to earn maximum returns.

While investing in real estate can seem complex, Doorvestors aren’t real estate savvy, well-established investors. Many currently rent their primary residences and live in high-cost of living coastal areas - think California, New York, and Seattle. Most of our first-time clients are purchasing their very first home with us, making their partnership with Doorvest even more valuable as we help manage the unknowns and mitigate any potential errors in the process.

While we have a wide range of Doorvestors, our average Doorvestor is between the ages of 25-45. It’s never too early (or too late!) to invest in real estate, and no matter where you are in your investment journey, Doorvest is here to help.

When is the right time to become a Doorvestor?

The right time to buy a home is different for each individual. No two Doorvestors have the same journey or financial makeup, but every Doorvestor has a few things in common: a small amount of capital, good credit, and a goal of long-term sustainable wealth.

We work with Doorvestors who have a minimum of $45K to invest as initial capital. This figure is invested directly into the property, and it’s used as the down payment for the home.

While you may have the capital to start the home-buying process with Doorvest, you’ll also need a decent credit score to successfully secure a loan. Our team recommends a credit score of at least 620 to qualify for traditional financing options for your mortgage.

Many people hope they’ll be successful and become financially independent in their lifetime, but not everyone achieves it. At Doorvest, we’re helping driven, ambitious people realize their financial goals by partnering on their journey toward success.

Where does Doorvest buy real estate?

You decide it’s time to invest, and we’ll help you to pick the right place. Our team of real estate experts has studied dozens of areas and has chosen markets that are packed with potential for growth and appreciation. We’ve identified key factors that indicate an ideal investment market, and we’ve fostered relationships with local partners to help us (and you!) easily find, purchase, and maintain the property in up-trending areas.

Houston, Texas has proven to be the underdog in the real estate market, and it continues to be an area we prioritize our investing. Houston is the fourth-largest city in the United States, is the national leader in tech job growth, and is home to one in three manufacturing companies -- all while benefiting from Texas’ lower tax rates and affordable cost of living.

We are also in Dallas-Forth Worth, San Antonio, and Atlanta — all have proven to be a real estate hot spot for investors as the job market flourishes and the demand for housing continues to increase. We’ve teamed up with market experts, and we’ve taken our time to truly know the nuances of investing in these markets (and growing), and all we can say, is that we’re here to stay.

Why Doorvest

So you have the capital, you’re ready to invest, but why Doorvest? We’ve written an entire piece on perhaps the most important question of them all, and you can find it H E R E. But to keep it short and sweet, here’s why customers love Doorvest, and why we love what we do.

Partnering with Doorvest is just that -- a partnership. We’re by your side through all the intimidating unknowns of buying a home, and we (and our amazing partners) will make sure to manage the many -- sometimes confusing -- details along the way.

We know that making investment decisions alone can be complicated and scary. Investing with Doorvest is faster and easier than managing the process solo, and our team of experts and partners is committed to making the process as frictionless as possible.

We know the nuances of the real estate market and the home buying process (because it’s what we do!), so we’ll guide you through the fine print, the small details, and nitty-gritty of every stage. Our goal is for you to understand each part of the process, making sure you’re comfortable with every decision and that you’re always informed.

We think the better question is: Why not Doorvest?
