I've used several "light" management platforms and landed on Avail (Avail.co) for the last five years or so. 

Thanks Jimmy and Remington, I just DM’d you both.I’m hoping this group to be at least an underwriting/due diligence group, and hopefully a group that finds, manages, and funds deals together when it makes sense.
