Fundrise offers non-accredited investments, which generally mean they have much higher fees, and virtually no skin in the game versus other things that you can find in the accredited world.Before looking at platforms though, I would recommend that you take a step back and look at your portfolio.

I am currently working overseas, do you have a virtual meet up?

Here are a few ideas on how you can free up you and your wife's time:1) Online portal for all rent payments and maintenance requests (this way everything is organized and handymen can be notified immediately what work is needed to be done and why)2) Set up online billing if you have not done so already, with recurring payments or automatic payments. 3) Hire a virtual assistant(s) to answer calls, make calls, and do other work that anyone can do. 4) Keep track of how you spend your time currently so you know what changes to make first that will have the biggest impact.Thanks!
