Do you have a good correlation with the tenant (in terms of payment history, no eviction, etc) and the report that smart move generates?

The platform may allow investment by accredited investors only or be open to almost anyoneEach has advantages and disadvantages.The portals that allow anyone to post a deal have not been very successful and they will probably remain a fringe categoryMany investors are familiar with the big players in the industry that provide access to deals sponsored by numerous parties.As an example of a single sponsor platform I will use our own.In the last two years we crowdfunded/syndicated 26 real estate debt deals, raising just over $46,000,000.00 and two months ago completed our first equity raise, raising $1,700,000.00.Additionally, we did a co raise with a major real estate debt crowdfunding portal that was primarily residential and wanted to move into the commercial space.I will tell you that despite many similarities, no two portals operate the same, and there are major differences in deal type, vetting, costs, risks, returns, and transparancy.Keep watching this arena.

Upside: more units, potential good cashflow, etc.My overall RE goals are wealth generation (retire early) with cash flow second (but always appreciated). 

If the wording didn't generate traffic yell at the person who wrote it.

This property generates $2,600 in rents and tenants are already in place.

An agent can wholesale properties too but they have so many different avenues to generate money.

.- Seller Financing: It's an awesome way to create monthly cash flow and add financial stability to your operation, but once you decide to get into this realm, you'll have to learn quite a bit about documentation, how the laws work in your state when (not if) people stop paying, how to manage loans and collect payments (among other things).

Just trying to generate passive income.

You typically can get a Property Management Company when you work your way up to about 30 units and can turnover the property to them to take over the daily operations and you get monthly reports that are financial and occupancy involved.The smaller apartment complexes (starting at about 6 units) are often owned by individuals that are willing to give you the financing. 

I will be running my operation in Michigan.
