Can anyone recommend any other online rent collection platforms?

Ethereum, which has a practical business application in that it provides a platform to build decentralized applications, which is THE GOLD MINE BEHIND BLOCK CHAIN, as opposed to Bitcoin which is simply a currency).All that said, that's just my opinion (strongly based on my work experience and research) and the future could prove me dead wrong.

Things to consider are annual co-commissions (essentially franchise fees), annual co-commission caps, desk fees, transaction fees, advertising fees, systems/platform fees, training programs, the schedule required, and then access to principal brokers and or mentors.

What platforms do you like that are good?

Whatever marketing platform you choose, it has to be consistent.

So, is it a good idea to start with creating a LLC and website to develop a business platform? 

Most banks will also require the short sale home to be listed on MLS and process throw their online platform so doing this under the radar is most unlikely. 

And I would recommend visiting your property in person at least a couple of times, to make sure everything is looking the way you believe it should be.Regarding investing in single-family homes versus the two crowdfunding platforms you mentioned or the S&P 500: in my opinion, the best option is to have a diversified portfolio.

Hi BP,I am new to this platform and want to get an insight of anyone has had any encounters with entities that do crowdfunding. 

I would like to use one of the online platforms like crowdstreet, patch of land, or one of the others......but they only allow accredited investors correct?
