I understand the cash flow and cash on cash return will be lower, but we are looking at holding these properties for the foreseeable future so, we are expecting to make up for this with appreciation.  

Expect 80% and maybe get 85% if you have a good deal and credit north of 720.So on 80k that is 12k, then closing costs of at least 5k. 

Do they have the necessary resources to stay on top of all the tax issues such as 1031 exchanges, 754 Step-Ups, etc.Feel free to send me a private message if you have any questions here.A couple articles you can read that will be helpful:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1206189-cost-...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1204912-how-t...

At a bare minimum, I'd have a T-12 and rent roll for the property, together with your current property analysis, future cash flow projection, and an exit strategy or two.

Don’t waste time with someone with unrealistic expectations; you won’t make the deal and just set up the client to get realistic for the intermediary that replace you. 5.

On my end, I would never purchase a property that won't produce at lease 1k in net cash flow, and it must be in a desirable area that is expected to appreciate.

Crowdfunding withing the US residents has a lot of regulation and that's the only barrier as far as the custody of crypto even though difficult not impossible but the actual asset t's risky also because it is a volatile asset and any cryptocurrency therefore for US residents unnecessary to raise funds through (unless using stable coins) crypto since the US dollar is what most end seller would require.

If you are looking at properties in need of renovation, they want you to know your costs up front and many will be as-is purchases with the expectation that you aren't requesting repairs and your costs are confirmed.Depending on your state, but likely in all states, you have an inspection contingency in the contract, but what you will learn is that you will be competing against seasoned investors and contractors who know their numbers and houses so make better as-is offers.
