The company
Altisource describes its mission as "helping servicers, originators and investors maximize results, minimize costs and mitigate risks." Its businesses span mortgage originations, servicing, and a suite of integrated services for single-family rental investors to buy and sell real estate, which is where Investability, the platform I led, fit.
The RentRange and Investability acquisition
On October 9, 2015, Altisource closed its acquisition of GoldenGator, LLC (doing business as RentRange) and REIsmart, LLC (doing business as Investability), and announced the completed deal on October 13, 2015. I had started at RentRange in 2014, so the acquisition is the point where I moved from a rental-data company into Altisource's engineering organization.
- RentRange is the Rental Automated Valuation Model I led, supplying rental home data, analytics and rent-based valuations.
- Investability was an online platform for investors to search for and acquire residential properties using data and analytics. It ran alongside RentRange at the same time, and is the platform behind the buy-box, property-matching and underwriting work I led.
RentRange
RentRange is where I started in 2014. It describes itself as "a trusted provider in the real estate investment space for over a decade," selling property reports, market metric reports, investor lists and property valuation models. The Rental Automated Valuation Model I led is RentRange: the model is the product.
