@Joe S.I would say BP does a good job as well as its membersFor example when peerstreet went under people were on BP blasting them because “they did not know” they invested in unsecured debt because they noted they invested in secured loansBut if you read the literature it was clear the investors were unsecured even though the company invested in secured loans (which this structure is not uncommon) - they were called out for this.There are components related to communication that cannot be verified unless posted but most documents and property transfers (like the one I assume is referenced in the start of this post) cannot be disputed.

All three generate leads from insurance claim residents and traveling professionals (medical and the trades).One of the advantages of FF has been that it's forced us to have systems in place to create leases, accept security deposits without co-mingling and provide "live" customer service. 

I recently secured my first off-market property under contract.

After a few long months we secured a long term retail tenant to call this place home.
