I saw this site and was so excited to be able to create a team of people to connect with for Real Estate!!!

Yes, I am the team.

For crowdsource investments on Republic, StartEngine, etc there's a great resource called Kingscrowd that reviews each investment offering and gives details and ratings on the team behind the project.

We get just as frustrated because the system is a bit "broken":(I believe the team is in communication with you about your options - just be sure to also let us know your choice to secure the property to deter squatters as cost-effectively as possible.

Skills or qualities in no particular order: Communication, patience, empathy, listening ear, backbone, resilience, determination, organization, work ethic, lead a team, thick skin, time management, trusts their instinct, and all-around good ethics!

The most important thing you can do in the beginning is assemble a good team. 

Investing in AZ, NV, ID, where you have family or friends that is a day away and you can start to build a network and team to help manage a property.  

You will also likely be paying more than more experienced investors as you build your team and knowledge.

If you are interested in these options, reach out to me and my team can go deep with a couple of our lenders that offer these programs.
