I just heard someone saying that he was going to use "bank of the internet USA" the preferred lender of Costco and was getting 5.175.

@Ryan, first, I want to make sure you realize that crowdfunding is just another name for an old-school syndication that is made available over the Internet.

Internet is everything.

There are several other factors that could weigh into the final verdict: phone coverage, internet speed, phone purchase specials, coolest commercials, etc.… Then, after you go through the entire purchasing and set up process, you end up with something that costs you more than what you were promised in the ad, begging the question, did I pick the right company?

I use the internet to research each area and if I like what I see, I begin making some phone calls.  

For me, flipping is like roulette at the casino...so treat it like a business and not a hobby.

However, I've never gone the internet route for private financing as to why it concerns me. 

@Aida Casino    Keep in mind Hard Money is more expensive which should only be used if you have no cheaper option when the opportunity arises.

And with the internet, finding, researching, buying and selling properties is possible from your office in some cases.

Hi, I’m looking for a reputable Tax Accountant who works with international investors to set up and maintain LLC, read some horror stories about the DIY off the internet LLC’s which cost investors big time.I contacted Corporate Direct and they are rather costly which I can understand being one of Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Advisors, so I’m hoping to find someone who can offer the same at a more affordable rate considering I’ll be starting our with 1 property a year and that would preferably be a Turnkey option.
