Doorvest operates a full-service real estate investing platform that simplifies buying, managing, and selling income-generating rental homes entirely online.
Doorvest's platform provides an end-to-end solution for real estate investors, covering property acquisition with institutional-grade vetting and renovation, professional management with 95% on-time rent collection and less than 5% vacancy rates, and strategic exit services including 1031 exchange support. The company manages over $200 million in assets and serves investors in markets including Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Cincinnati, and Cleveland. Investors earn over $10 million in rent annually through the platform.
Doorvest is expanding into new markets and launched a Marketplace platform in 2026 for buying and selling investment properties.
Following the January 2025 acquisition of Rubik, Doorvest plans to double annual acquisition volume and expand into new markets beyond its current footprint in Texas, Ohio, and Oklahoma. In May 2026, the company announced it is building out a new Platform organization focused on Marketplace, enabling homeowners to buy additional properties or sell existing ones. The company is actively hiring a Founding Marketplace Lead and expanding its Cleveland office, signaling continued operational growth despite financial constraints.
Doorvest differentiates from competitors by renovating properties before sale and placing tenants, reducing maintenance risk for investors.
Unlike marketplace competitors such as Roofstock that sell properties as-is, Doorvest buys homes first, fully renovates them to institutional standards with fixed-price guarantees, places qualified tenants, and then sells the turnkey property to investors. This model provides immediate cash flow from day one and reduces the "money pit" risk that investors face with as-is purchases. The company also guarantees tenant placement and offers a 10% management fee structure with no fees during vacancy periods, aligning incentives between Doorvest and property owners.
Doorvest requires a higher minimum investment (~$35,000-$45,000) compared to fractional platforms, and charges management fees that impact overall returns.
Doorvest's model requires a significant capital commitment with minimum investments around $35,000 to $45,000, which may exclude smaller investors. The platform charges a 10% management fee on rent collected, which is higher than some competitors. Additionally, the company faces competitive pressure from larger, well-funded platforms like Roofstock (which raised $240M in Series E funding) and fractional investment alternatives like Arrived and Fundrise that offer lower entry points. FY2024 financials show revenue declined 35.2% year-over-year to $14.6M, with a net loss of $4.3M and only 2.1 months of runway as of February 2025.
Doorvest charges a 10% management fee on rent collected with no fees during vacancy periods, plus an 8% markup on acquisition cost.
Doorvest's pricing model includes a 10% property management fee calculated on gross monthly rent collected, with no management fees charged when the property is vacant, incentivizing the manager to find long-term tenants. For property acquisition, the company historically charged an 8% markup on the cost of the home plus renovations. The platform requires minimum investments in the $35,000-$45,000 range for down payments and closing costs. Revenue is derived from both transactional acquisition markups and recurring management fees.
