Derek,I'm biased but as an investor, I got into some crowdfunding deals but I felt like a number and interfaced w/a portal.  

You can also click on 'Browse' on the right of the search bar and you will see a big list of demographics, behaviors, etc.To select the type of housing you want to target you would go to 'demographics' and there you can select the type of home you would like to target by size, value, type of residence, etc.Let me know, if you have any questions, mate!

Have been browsing this forum for about a month now just looking for answers to questions I've googled.

No, I haven't been but I just took a look through and really like the simplicity of the user interface.

I have browsed the topic on this forum and there seems to be tons of ideas, but I was wondering if there are more concrete solutions to this dilemma.  

Hey all,Been browsing the site for a while, first post.  

I have met with a couple local investors whom I would call friends now, and I vicariously live through them to pave the way for my next investment decisions, I listen to investing audio books when I'm driving, and of course browse the BP forums when I'm not working or have questions.

Browse both and offers will not be daunting.
