Hey BPers,  I've been casually reading about Peer Street and Fund that Flip and am curious about people's recent and long-term experiences with these services. 

I know some people will do an assignment fee and some will do a double close.

People and jobs are leaving those markets.

It is true many people cannot afford to buy in Hawaii.

Investing in real estate with your own money and from a position of financial strength is, I believe, a far more rewarding experience than leveraging other people's money and being dependent on a positive outcome to keep you afloat. 

Plenty of people out there have the money for deals, but the lack the time and energy to FIND them.

I estimate that there were about 60 people on the first day and it dwindled down to about 25 people on the third day.

I think people would enjoy it with other amenities.

Problem solved.Moral of the story, regardless of neighborhoods, empty homes draw attention and there are a lot of people looking for shelter.

Considering how much I enjoy meeting new people and communicating, the STR approach has been successful and enjoyable Now we are pursuing our second investment property and are considering a property which needs some TLC and has large value added potential, considering that its in a prime location on the oceanfront.
