More importantly it offers a platform for like minded people to freely share knowledge and experiences in REI.

If they consistently come in high it shouldn't be an issue if they stop bidding because they were too high anyways, maybe in the future they'll either decline to provide you a bid or lower the price if they want work.

Cary, I exclusively invest in bad mortgage debt (1st position liens) because it consistently earns me an above average return on my investment compared with other options.

Also, were the networking groups not beneficial for you, or you just cant get to them consistently?

Hi guys,I'm curious if anyone has used crowdfunding platforms such as CrowdStreet and how they became comfortable enough with the general partner/ investment to actually invest?  

Debt platforms will keep the origination fee and some of the interest that is paid to investors.Some will offer white label services and charge a yearly fee for a crowdfunding website.  

This is consistent with how most consumer payment systems handle transactions.If the payment doesn't go through because of NSF, that's another matter.

Hey Brendon,We have a small campground we built so hopefully I can offer a little help until others contribute.Lots of things determine the construction cost and not being from your desired location handicaps me.That being said maybe I can at least shed some light on your idea.Things that will determine actual per lot cost are power,sewer and water.1-Underground power is the way to go,more cost but more spaces because of overhead clearance restrictions.2-Available sewer also is best but septic systems work fine but cost more and chew up land area and require more long term maintenance (we have septic systems,3 spaces per system). 3- Water,there again country,or city water is best but a well and your own systems works fine also just requires more upkeep.As far as the park itself it's best to (IMO).1-set park up with three sections to accommodate different styles of campers,over night,seasonal and annual (if area warrants),all three have there pros and cons,overnight area is cheapest to construct since you'll just have bathhouse ( no septic,power or water per site). seasonal spaces will be completely developed but will rent for highest amt because it's short term (usually power is included into rate).Last is annual which again lots are fully developed but not so much in and out and consistent cash  flow,tenants put utilities in there name as they would a SFR. 

What does the training consist of?
