Should I look for specific types of properties or areas?

@Joshua Wright welcome.What specific investing do you want to do?

If you have a specific problem with pests, notify us.

Is this issue specific to Baselane or is this something broader that affects other platforms as well?

When you have a VERIFIABLE record of success within specific property types - and typically specific geographical areas, you MAY be able to attract enough passive investment to begin syndicating smaller type deals.  

Quote from @Chris Grenzig: Very location-specific.

To add, leveraging fix-and-flip or BRRRR-specific financing can help you scale faster without overextending your personal funds.

Here's what I've learned:Inspections Are Non-Negotiable: Always get a full inspection, but don’t stop there.Plumbing & Sewer: Have the plumbing and sewer systems checked specifically, as these are common problem areas in older homes.Electrical System: If the inspector flags any electrical concerns, bring in an electrician during the inspection phase for a detailed evaluation.

To reach this specific goal, you will need about 41 loans each at $30K earning you monthly passive income.

Maybe throwing out a specific post for seeking investment focused brokerages in the Long Island area on BP and see who reaches out as well :).
