I can’t figure out how to search through the app for any topic.

Don't get stuck in the weeds on an app, just choose one.

He probably uses all of those apps as well.

Most who use this strategy are ultimately lying on their loan apps.

You don't need to set up any other communication system (like google voice or another email address) to avoid sharing your personal contact information, you can do all of that within the app.

There are apps that do it all for you, like DealMachine.

Currently I use an app called "meet up" and for some time, a lot of their events in my area are all done online.

They do have a very awesome app called Deal Driven which is an extremely awesome marketing - organizing - information and skip tracing tool.

So you're not really comparing apples to apples here.Also, most likely the syndication/crowdfunding deal you are comparing to is a completely different real-estate asset class than single family (i.e. probably multi-family,office, self storage,mobile home parks or something else).

As the bad apples make everyone look bad and be presumed guilty of malfeasance, which ultimately means less investment $$$ and longer due diligence cycles and legal costs.
