Fractional REI companies (Roofstock, Arrived, etc) have caught my attention.

@Scott Brandt  if your looking to lend money.. just do it locally.. no reason to go so far away.Also when and if you get into the nuts and bolts you will see the deals are what are called fractionalized in other words multiple beneficiary's on each note.Now your a take charge guy ... what is going to be your position if a note goes bad and you have 10 partners on the note all over the US.. and you don't even know who they are have their contact info ext.. is the risk worth it.. these deals when they go bad are very tough to unwind.

Just check out other methods to have fractional ownership in significant projects to support the surrounding community.

If you focus on cash flow, you'll get paid right away, but it's less likely that your cashflow or equity will grow in any meaningful way, and it's really hard to scale when all you are doing is making your DTI lower by fractions of a point with every purchase.

Fractionalizing a not should be even easier.

I suggest that if someone wants a Carrer bringing two parties together for compensation if they spent a fraction of what wholesalers spend a month they would get business and listings are money in the bank full stop..

It's the opposite of Austin, in that you don't count on appreciation as part of your wealth strategy (although the A and B class properties do appreciate just fine), and properties are a fraction of what they cost down there! 

Building and labor costs are a fraction of what I have found in the states (not to mention quality laborers are easier to find and more efficient in my opinion).

One of the spaces I like to play in is the foreclosure arena because honestly banking under the fractional reserve system and emergency banking act inherently lends every transaction entered into to fraud.

The fed is the stock markets *****, and they'll scream and squeal every time the fed raises rates a fraction of a basis point.
