Thank you all so very much for allowing me to tap your knowledge!  I will consider and research all of your points.  My only follow-up question is:  Do you think that I could lean more toward one type of investing than another in order to be sure to also obtain the tax benefits (depreciation, deduction of expenses, etc.) vs. another?  Again, I can't get over how much help I have received in just my first day on bigger pockets - thank you all so much!

Hello, all - I am brand new to both the bigger pockets community and real estate investing (other than REIT's). Just starting out, am I better off investing with one of the crowdfunding firms (like Realty Shares, etc.) or are there advantages to investing in separate properties on my own? Looking forward to hearing your opinions. Thank you.
