Hello to all on the Bigger Pockets platform!

A newbie here so still figuring out how to use this platform efficiently.Best, Niraj Maniar

I was curious since this post is a few months old, have you had any luck on using certain platforms?

I just assumed someone would take the opportunity to warn me about the potential problems of asking for deals and leads on such a big platform, such as scams or lemons, etc. 

@Joshua Christensen Have you looked into Real Estate crowdfunding platforms like Fundrise or Buy the Block?

My idea is to start an online/ mobile app platform that would allow younger people or people with smaller amounts of money they’re willing to risk in an investment to crowdsource properties in large groups and collectively buy properties outright.

Glad to have you in this platform.

I'd just recommend using as many listing platforms as you can.

The new focus for short-term rentals is building your own brand outside of the Airbnb platform anyway.

It's exciting to have owners, investors, residents, students, etc all join this great platform – in order to grow in whatever their area of interest is.
