I've been experimenting with Podio and it looks like it's a fairly powerful platform.

For instance, lending, syndications, or crowd-funding platforms. 

Hubzu is a very reputable auction platform run by Ocwen, an Orlando-based clearing house for all government-backed mortgages that have been foreclosed upon, i.e FHA, VA, etc.

I love Cardone U its really a killer online platform and its worth every penny if you ask me.

@Anthony Testino Perhaps there is opportunity to use crypto assets as collateral / getting crypto backed loans - however, fees high and the usual caveats about crypto etc etc but you usually do not have to sell your crypto to borrowCompanies already doing this/or serving as lending platforms :  SALT, Unchained Capital ,BlockFi

I am new to this site but very familiar with most forum software platforms. 

My partner and I will be investing in that platform in the future.

I plan on switching to another platform after these next round of leases are up.

@Andrew Taylor As @Mike Verna says, the thing about the smaller units is that there are many more of them on the STR platforms, so there is a lot of competition.

I also have access to my 401k which I have basically saved to use as the starting platform for my investing.
