On line platforms make the marketing, administrative and organizational aspects of syndication about 1/10 as tedious as before.  

Some highlights: I have 3 homes up on Platform and manage another 2 homes.

@Jonathan GreeneThe short answer is it will depend on a few things like the tools and listing platforms that you're usingMy current workflow involves many tools (including Monday.com, Baselane, and Furnished plus other listing platforms).

Maintenance/platform fees/cap ex/rental insurance - $2,000Income - $10,800Expenses - $12,532Is this somewhat accurate?

Here are a few alternative rental strategies:Medium-Term Rentals: Platforms like Furnished Finder connect you with traveling professionals, such as nurses and corporate employees, looking for 30-90 day stays.

I came across crowdfunding as a opinion and seen that GoFundMe is one of the biggest crowdfunding platforms. is this a good way  to raise the starting capital for my first rental property , if not what did you guys do for starting capital ?

I had been living in a PadSplit and was able to save enough to buy a property so I bought this one and house hacked it as a 4/2 using the PadSplit platform.

While you may need to sift through less serious inquiries, I’ve successfully secured some strong deals and valuable connections through these platforms.

A platform really can not create liquidity.It's actually a pretty common feature of many of these types of funds.

I find that using the tools build in to the platform apps make it pretty easy to self manage.
