partner=homedepot is free and there is a free version sponsored by The Home Depot.I did not know how many free systems you knew of, and I did not know how many were at least backed by large enough corporations whereas you could rely upon the software being supported and updated for any length of time.

I think there is a lot of value learning and working w/trusted sponsors, ideally as part of the sponsor team where you really get to understand their model (markets, deal and track record) and then working w/investors who often have no idea how to get involved or have never invested in these types of niche REI markets such at multi family apartments, mobile home parks or storage units.  

Are no brokers going to want to sponsor me if these are my goals?

So if anyone knows of a brokerage I can have sponsor me and hold my license that could cover those bases please let me know!!!

The funding portal needs to vet the sponsor more than the existing platforms do (they are not regulated on that department), and the funding portals have a whole section just for that in the 686 pages of rules.

Hey BP,Not sure how many of you are looking at deals going by on RealCrowd, but they have a syndication right now from Madison Marquette to invest in the Oxbow Public Market in Napa, CA.Unfortunately I don't think I'm allowed to publicly post any of the offering documents, but wondering if anyone has looked at this and has thoughts, or has worked with this sponsor before?

I also think you should take your time and research good sponsors w/solid track records.There are other niches like mobile home parks and storage that are also seeing favorable trends such as shortage of affordable housing and folks leveraging storage due to increase in renters.Wish you the best.  

The most important part of dd is your dd on the sponsor. 

His company is a sponsor, and they focus on investors.
