Hmmm....the first things that come to mind are:1) Networking with other local investors (perhaps at local REIA meetings)2) Driving 4 Dollars (locate distressed/vacant properties and send a note/letter to the owner)3) BP Search Platform option (There are several search results with ideas)4) Bandit Signs (Be aware of local sign ordinances though) 5) Lead Generation Web/Splash/Squeeze Pages6) Free Classifieds (Craigslist, ect)7) Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, Fivver, ect)8) FSBO and/or Expired listings9) Local Probate listings ***Be very careful/understanding of the nature of any contact with owners as they've experienced a loss***

I find this platform to be absolute gold for people like me, and am ecstatic to begin connecting with all the veteran investors out there with their wealth of knowledge.

Attend local REIA meetings, utilize BP’s search platform to find people near you, befriend an “investor friendly” real estate agent…many times they can pull local sale comparables to locate active buyers.

Honestly, the extremely low cost of being a pro member should be a no brainer if you are interested in the leads this platform generates.  

Have you considered any conventional platforms for RE Crowdfunding?

This platform is rich with information!

Plush padding adds to the sound absorption and every little bit counts.Nothing more irritating than platform shoes walking across a hardwood floor.

Getting familiar with this forum platform.

I like the vrbo platform...most of my clients use it too...so once you dial in the housekeeping and have a handy-person to do repairs...it boils down to good communication.Aloha

I tell tenants that I prefer them to pay online through my Buildium platform.
