As a seller, you showing me a you tube of "testimonials" to convince me this is legit...would get you laughed/kicked out of my house faster than anything I could imagine.

Honestly, I might of imagined the title...

I would imagine with a lot of properties, having different due dates for rent could get confusing.  

As you can imagine, the living room looks more like a bedroom.

As you would probably imagine there is a sophisticated internal system that utilizes charts to tell the story on a file and if required, approval by upper management and credit officers when loss ratios are higher.

I imagine some landlords would feel at ease if they knew their eviction expenses were covered in the worst case scenario.  

I am not sure how much the repairs would be for a 25-30K house but i can not imagine much.

That said, I'd imagine that at the right price and with the right insurance, some of those properties could work out long term for some investors?

For #5, note that there are nowadays "tech startup" solutions to financing one's primary residence (see Unison and Point.com), but the money comes from private institutions or private sources--the money is not "crowdfunded" for many reasons--in part, because there are a lot of strange privacy issues (imagine if your home was partially owned by 50 other people.

I can't imagine working real estate part time.
