I think a DIG affiliation is the way to go. 

That said, just sign the PSA in your name and include language allowing the PSA to be assigned to an affiliated entity controlled by you.

Join your local rental association (Illinois Rental Property Owners Association and affiliates).

Two of the companies Rogero and Cole are Affiliate members of NARPM, National Association of Residental Property Managers. 

What criteria could be used or would it be better to have a non-profit select the person and pay the rent instead so it isn't directly affiliated with the apartment complex?

The biggest ones that will accept non-affiliated sponsors are CrowdStreet and RealCrowd.

I saw this mult-family pop-up and I am wondering just how bad it could be.My current goal is to clean up some personal finance, but I keep looking at properties to try and keep up with pricing.address:3225 Fordhaven Rd, Louisville, KY 40214There was another 4 unit on the same road as this one that came up for sale for around 180k.If someone is in the Louisville area, then maybe they can explain why this is either a great deal or a disaster.Note: I am not an agent and have not affiliation with the property above. 

Hi Tyana,I just received my license and affiliated with a broker over the last few weeks so everything is fresh in my mind.

Your company also is affiliated with hard money lender that you refer "investors" to..so, in full discloser I would think you should mention that the owners of the "hard money" company and the "investor referral" company are one in the same, and offering to "teach" others on these topics as an conflict free proposition...well...it proves you are what I claim.Finally, I have nothing to hide and would prefer to discuss this publicly.

Now a quick disclaimer I am not in no way shape or form affiliated with roof stock nor am I paid to promote them or anything like that so invest at your own risk!
