One of the biggest hurdles to overcome with buy-to-let is finding reliable tenants. That’s why I was interested in Roofstock – an Oakland, California based business which provides a market for homes which are already rented. The business recently raised $13m in funding and is about to launch in central Florida, so they must be at least on to something.

This could definitely be worth looking into here in the UK. As far as I know, there’s no publication, agency or database that specialises exclusively in this very attractive niche.
