I work in Potomac, MD, and would like to buy a condo or apt that I can easily commute and live in, and then eventually rent out, and then buy another. 

The well located Dollar Generals with all upgraded construction and quality dirt that can easily be re-tenanted the lenders and buyers want more.Those tend to be in the 2 to 2.5 million range.

But my method of evaluating properties has proven time-consuming. 

I can gauge my own evaluation by looking at recently sold comps, their condition, exact location, etc.

I’m evaluating:1️⃣ Fundrise – Open to all investors, $1B+ deployed, low fees, good for smaller raises.2️⃣ CrowdStreet – $3B+ raised, focuses on large commercial deals, accredited investors only.3️⃣ RealtyMogul – $500M+ raised, REITs & individual deals, open to non-accredited investors.4️⃣ EquityMultiple – $300M+ raised, high returns, accredited investors only, mix of equity & debt.5️⃣ Yieldstreet – $1B+ raised, alternative assets beyond real estate, typically $10K+ minimum.Would love to hear from anyone who has successfully raised capital on these or other platforms!" 

we have had a bit of a roadblock since the duplex are listed in the city as two single family homes. we have had evaluations done before and they are worth twice as much after the repairs. do you guys work with credit of 640?  

I can easily drive by to see if the grass is cut or the blinds and screens are all torn up. 

Hi All,We are evaluating 4-unit building in Auburn, CA.

I have read a bunch of books (many by BP) but if you have an resources I should evaluate, please let me know. 

You will want to evaluate risk but don't let it paralyze your decision making.
