This condo is located 3 blocks from Loyola University in Chicago and it is a lakefront property. 

I was born and raised in the outskirts of Atlanta, and then proceeded to pursue a college football career at Georgia Southern University.

However, there will most likely be a room full of sophisticated and accredited investors.Do you need passive investors to provide capital for you to help you buy deals in your syndications like @Jay Hinrichs said?

It is about a 15 minute drive to the University of Utah from our house.

The platform may allow investment by accredited investors only or be open to almost anyoneEach has advantages and disadvantages.The portals that allow anyone to post a deal have not been very successful and they will probably remain a fringe categoryMany investors are familiar with the big players in the industry that provide access to deals sponsored by numerous parties.As an example of a single sponsor platform I will use our own.In the last two years we crowdfunded/syndicated 26 real estate debt deals, raising just over $46,000,000.00 and two months ago completed our first equity raise, raising $1,700,000.00.Additionally, we did a co raise with a major real estate debt crowdfunding portal that was primarily residential and wanted to move into the commercial space.I will tell you that despite many similarities, no two portals operate the same, and there are major differences in deal type, vetting, costs, risks, returns, and transparancy.Keep watching this arena.

I do think that it is a good deal in the current environment, especially considering that the property is close to a university where enrollment is growing at double digits.

@Amy Beth This house is walking distance from one of several universities/colleges in the town.

I still think the area is really great, good companies, public schools, universities, etc. 

I graduated from the University of North Texas (UNT) in May 2018 with a BBA in Finance, and I started my first full-time job as a commercial credit analyst in June.

The new California State University potentially coming to Stockton is a wildcard and where it could be located.
