In my opinion, Fundrise may or may not be a good fit for you depending on a lot of factors (with the most important being whether you are accredited or nonaccredited, and your risk tolerance).

Well that is where Anton's point and your judgment and risk tolerance come into play. 

I see some houses just on normal sites that (as I don’t have MLS access) could be a potential deal honestly - if the numbers work they work and I’m surprised to see them on common websites but I think that’s a product of investors focus, risk tolerance, knowledge of the area, or they want a higher return.

I never tolerate tenants playing games.

Again, this is where you rely on the advice from a local attorney and balance that with your personal situation (ie how risk tolerant are you, what are your goals, etc).Personally, I put all my properties into individual LLC's.

I know then whether they are flexible and tolerant or not.I also ask specific questions of their landlord references. 

The streets were not well kept aside from the main street (which was tolerable). 

Get at least 1 million in coverage to start , this is dirt cheap; $180-$200 / year.Then, after a few months, consider bringing it up to 2 million - it all depends on your risk tolerance and exposure.  

If your personal risk tolerance is non existent a LLC may help you sleep.

This topic is highly depending upon if you have available vendors, personal goals, grit, tolerance for BS, and many other things, hence my Q and A format:Q.
