@Andre Eakins The key is to figure out how much you can afford on a regular basis, and then commit to doing that same amount every month.

Reference the Bexar county property, I suspect that it will have to go through the auction process before the Tax office would entertain a discount in the taxes owed.

So no, I don't pay much attention to the term length.As for the minimum investment, in my opinion if someone cannot afford to put in at least $1000 into an investment, and keep it at less than 10% of their investment assets, they shouldn't be involved in real estate crowdfunding.    

At least where I am (and I think this goes for the majority of the coasts), I don't think renters could afford much higher rent.  

Condition, location and maintenance needs are very important.One tenant factor you may run into is the affordability of c/a. 

It is informative and entertaining (how was that @Brandon Turner - please send the promo fee to...).Good luck.Tyler

Hi Steve, reading your post was quite entertaining because I was looking at using the exact same strategy for the same area.

My primary target is construction that I can sell at an affordable rate in the future or something that I can rent out.  

They may still use those pools to reverse-syndicate apartment deals, but you used to have to push 50 or so investors to them before they'd entertain raising capital for you.  

I have better luck in other areas that are more affordable now.
