The first thing you should publicize in any social media platform is to promote your credibility.

Hi BP family, My name is Manish Chamoli , Newbie from northern NJ (Essex County) just getting started in real estate , I have couple rental properties and now looking to fully dive into it.Thank you Brandon and Josh for creating this platform , I have being listening your podcast which gives wealth of information , thanks again for creating such a wonderful community. 

Theres alot of negative feed back online about Bigger Pockets platform. I

I never though on using Wix as the payment platform... I

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.

Their online platform is weak, but if you use an IRA-owned LLC you won't need to transact with Sunwest very often (since the day-to-day lending transactions will happen in the LLC).  

The platform is associated with major U.S. banks so most tenants have access to it through their checking accts.

It makes things nice and smooth when you can have all of your information and payment history in one platform. ** I just noticed you are an agent. 

I have no reason to look else where because the cozy platform is free, intuitive and my tenants can use it.

If so, what strategies are people working on, and if you are using a platform, which platform is looking like it is the most attractive?
