Folks,Just wanted to give everybody a heads up on what can happen with online crowdfunding real estate sites.I have invested with Fund That Flip (FTF) for the past 2 years. 

Now, our Reg D 506c offerings allow advertising and general solicitation, almost all our new investors learn about us either on line or through an existing investor5.

Assuming the 2 acres is 100% usable, I'd like to do buildings on one acre and outdoor RV/boat storage on the other acre.I've looked online at several companies that build storage buildings, but I don't know what size to ask for quotes on.Does anyone have software recommendations that can assist in planning and designing the layout of the facility?

@Rick AlbertPart of what is happening in Nashville is the increase in apartments coming online in the urban core.

Agreed mate,43606 is mostly rough and 43610 and 43620 is hit/miss.Put In Bay has a total of 7 houses hahaBowling Green quite expensive and only 1 target tenant and they are students...Online stats/demographics are one thing, real life and on-ground experience is another.As an investor you are limited if your decisions are based on solely online research.Had an investor that bought 6 properties from us ages ago and was using some weird online algorithm and plugging every deal I sent him through RentFax (I easily send 30 or so deals for consideration).I advised against this strategy but it is what it is.Didn't work out for him unfortunately and he decided to sell.Maybe I should get him to post a thread and throw us under the bus.It's always our fault, right?

I bought John's online course, LeasingToBuy on May 31st.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

So even if I create a trust with a random name, whoever is listed as a Trustee gets posted online. 

.- Online retailers: Amazon and Wayfair are good for smaller items like hardware, as you've mentioned.

I am starting my journey as a Real Estate Investor and I am looking for any advice into what online tools do people use to find and filter each deal.Is there particular websites that are recommended to get additional information of a particular deal?
