But if you were not a real estate professional and you have a W-2 income and a dividend and interest income, you would be taxed 37% on the combine of both the W-2 income and the dividend and interest income ($600K).It's still good to get accurate information from more experience professional to get more points of views and figure out what you can do in your situation.I hope you can find this very helpful in making your investing decisions. 

BUT maybe think about freshening up the exterior of your STR (Airbnb is a platform).I work for Airbnb as an "Airbnb SuperHost Ambassador". 

Our listings appear across so many platforms I would not know which site they stole them from. 

In the meantime though, I'd try to just actively build your platform here on Bigger Pockets and just casually connect with people. 

And if you’re listing the house online, try platforms like LoopNet or local Facebook groups for real estate or community housing.Just make sure to do your homework and ask for references, check their track record, and make sure they’re following any local zoning or licensing rules.

And no, I am not a financial advisor.Holistic view:1. 

Vanessa,I second others comment on the advice of putting yourself in the owner's shoes and figuring out your selling points from that point of view. 

So yes, crowdfunding platforms are really just middlemen between investors and syndicators.

Quote from @Marshall Robins: Quote from @Patrick Roberts:Definitely makes sense - I haven't been on any Meta platforms for years but it might be time to dive back in.  

Good Day My name is Jacqueline, i am new to this platform and to Real estate investing.
