I just feel like the more I research on BP forum and on the internet, the more I am getting confused.

No, unfortunately a lot of this is just not accurate.From the point of view of a passive investor in the deal: real estate crowdfunding is essentially the same thing as a syndication...except it's usually done over the Internet.

@Will Lotherington You will also have to pay for all utilities, add internet, cable or satellite (to do it right).You'll need to furnish it with good to nice furniture, provide consumables, sheets, towels, cookware etc.You will need to replace items as they wear out.You will need to clean the place after each stay or coordinate and pay someone else to do it.I think these cost will eat into or eliminate any potential profit over what a Long Term rental would bring in with much less effort.

Someone is told that they specifically can't refinance out of FHA, and the next day they're on the internet blogging about how "you" can't refinance out of an FHA loan.I'd suggest finding a local lender that'll plan this out with you using realistic assumptions that are particular to you, your financial picture, and your area.

It's your decision though.Where can I screen tenants:  There are a host of management softwares that work with the same affiliates. 

Pfft - the glory of the Internet is at your fingertips.  

@Jose Guevarra NCE has a page on their website with affiliate groups.

And Owner pays all utilities/internet/cable.

Some people do very well with internet marketing, Youtube videos, trading stocks, futures, options, selling on Ebay, selling Ebooks, coaching, mentoring, etc. i think it is important to find something you can be passionate about 'that does not feel like work" and then the money will come.That's my .02
