@Kerry Baird are there any problems with partnering with someone else on a primary residence (1-4 units, FHA/conventional loan), just as long as one of the people on the deed is living in the house/in one of the units?  

People tend to follow the money, but don't realize where they are in the curve.

Basically an informal audit of ones portfolio.This could be as simple as creating a few benchmarks (specific ratio of expenses, total PM fee ratios, vacancy rates and duration,etc)As much as one could assume they have a well oiled portfolio, an outside investor could find areas of improvement.

There are always people who can rehab cheaper than you and have lower initial ROI requirements.   

Roam simply helps people find homes that have these types of loans.

The key is figuring out how to get people to rent the unit in the off season.
