As with many new investors, I don't have a ton of startup capitol so I'm looking at wholesale deals to bring in some additional capitol for down payments and repair expenses.

In my area and probably most areas, there are small communities and neighborhoods move through a cycle just as any business model, start up, growth, maturity, stagnant and decline.

The smaller projects generally do not want to start up before the big ones do.

Money was spent on what I consider start up costs: direct marketing, INC incorporation, etc.

Some start up!

It's just that the quantities of data have gotten bigger as computing power has increased.My first tech startup attempt was a model that would run a huge number of feature films through a system that would capture things light and sound frequencies, cut rate, and loads of other data points, then correlate that to global sales figures, then allow independent filmmakers to run THEIR film through the same program and generate marketing insights.

I am in the process of planning a start-up high-end shoe boutique in my area.

The SEC does not recognize this term nor does this term really mean anything away from who ever is trying to use it.Crowdfunding is the process of raising less than $1.0 Million within a 12 month time frame for new start ups.

Especially for small startups who need the funding.

It ties in very well with real estate investing without having to start up a brand new business.
