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.

@Alina T.

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.

Or she loses her job and can't pay the mortgage and she's dating a loser junky now and they expect you to pay the mortgage...

Not every off-plan project is a surefire win; some are overhyped, and others don’t live up to expectations once completed.

that doesn't mean they're not a good investment, just that you should set your expectations accordingly.

With these, campers would be expected to bring their own composting/camp toilets and basically pack out what they pack in similar to dispersed National Park camping. 

@Scott ChampionRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

@Stephen Hood your idea is solid and shows good potential, but here are a few things to consider:Private Lender Terms: Ensure the lender agrees to the 1% origination fee and $2K monthly payments—some may require a higher interest rate or balloon payment at the end.Timeline for Sale: Factor in potential delays with selling your current property or completing renovations on the new one, as these could impact your refinance timeline.Refinance Feasibility: Confirm with lenders that refinancing at $500K is realistic, especially after recent rate increases and appraisal expectations.Exit Plan: Have a backup plan in case the market shifts or repairs take longer than expected, such as extending the private loan or bridging with a HELOC.If you can lock in favorable private loan terms and stay realistic about costs and timelines, this could work well.

Expected Nightly Rate: What’s the best way to estimate this without over- or underestimating?
