Even if some platforms are still running and live, are they really providing the returns for their investors? 

Our mortgage lender gave us the option to waive the appraisal - however, we have a clause in our contract that if the appraisal comes in over 10k low, our price goes down to appraisal +10k.So, we are leaning towards ordering appraisal anyway, on the gamble that it comes in low and we get a discount. 

Love Zelle because many of my tenant's are in that platform for payment transfers.

The ultimate end game picture is to build a portfolio and investment platform that can support my family and they can participate in.

@Wesley W.It’s a gamble to accept a tenant who can’t confirm there income because of tips that are unreported on their taxes.  

The Census Bureau updated their online library to this platform last year.

I sold 2 of my St Louis S8 properties through the platform this year.A little note- make sure your PM submits new owner paperwork to the housing authority ASAP!

Thank you Brandon and Josh for creating this platform and the wealth of information.

Licensed appraisal companies will be the best resource to know the price for a home; however, you can look at past tax records (on county public sites), use the MLS that licensed real estate agents typically have access to, and other platforms similar to zillow to compare prices.Next, make sure the homes you are comparing, that are 170k, are VERY similar or comparable (comps) to the 100k home you are referring to.

Looking to invest but undecided which platform is better, any inside, experiences and comment will be appreciated.
