Seeking your opinion in helping build solution for home owners
I am Suhaib ur Rehman from SF Bay Area, an engineer with a passion for real estate. I was a residential real estate agent for a few years. I started attending BP podcasts and topics on this website about commercial real estate, especially multifamily since last year.
While I am venturing into multifamily commercial real estate, I started to think about the larger problem of financing and how we can make it easier for people, especially homeowners, to invest in such deals through a technology platform that makes their primary home a profitable asset while they own it. This will drive the business for investors. Since many of you have achieved great success in this business and are very knowledgeable, I am wondering if you are open to a small chat, and your valuable advice for fellow BP community members, about the customer problem I mentioned. I am open to sharing details in PM. This will really help solve the right problem for the right audience. Your help and advice will go a long way.
I proposed this idea in front of a start-up incubator which they quite like it. I truly believe that there is value in it for everyone, homeowners, investors like you, and in general the economy.
Regards
Suhaib

Quote from @Suhaib Rehman:
Thanks, Ronald, Yes there are platforms available that allow you to invest in various kinds of alternative investments (and even REIT), but there is just one side of the multisided platform I wish to create.
Existing of a simlar platform is actually a good thing which implies that there is a proof of concept in some form or shape.
If you are curious enough, I am open for a short chat
Post a website or pitch deck
I am building a landing page. For the pitch, I am working with a few startup incubators/advisors who are the right audience for the pitch.
