Is anyone actually using the Connected Investors platform and more importantly has anyone used and received funding from tier crowdfunding app? 

However, my husband and I have found many legit (and non-legit) owner financing options via Craigslist and our city newspaper.

This is a great platform to assist you with all your real estate endeavors.

The resources that @Brandon Turner and @Joshua Dorkin mention on the podcasts are legit.

,A legit contractor will have a business account with a local bank to make free deposits.  

The filing date for foreclosure would be when the 'clock' starts and you can use time estimates from any legit source as to how long to expect to foreclose.  

Each platform verifies accreditation a little differently.

My first step is to ingest all of the "starter" information on this wonderful platform that my mind can handle.  

It's not Homesearch, they're all the same.....they are simply a platform for the banks selling their properties.  

I'm a 3rd generation landlord, have been a landlord for almost 15 years and after having had a conversation with Ben, am convinced that he is one of the rare legit real estate educators out there.
