Escrow closed with no problems and I now hold title.

My preference is buy & hold opportunities, but ultimately I'm open to all ideas.  

Is it possible to borrow using crowdfunding services as a first time investor for a buy & hold property? 

If you were looking at a SFH that could be a good candidate for either a flip or buy and hold, how would you determine the ARV? 

My wife and I are new to real estate investing but we have discussed our long term and important goals to us and decided last year on a long term hold investment strategy.

Hi James,Welcome to Bigger Pockets.You are in a great area, I have spent a lot of time a little further south in Myrtle Beach.I did several home flips, until I got into buy and hold investing in 2009.Flipping can be a great way to build up some capital.Have a super weekend

Or non  buy/rehab/hold investor, or the guy  that just   buys/holds without the rehab.  

We have been looking at turnkey providers as well as look at properties that we can purchase ourselves and hand over to a property management company.Me and my business partner want to hold onto our day jobs since they provide us an excellent source of capital for REI.

Most common ways of investing in real estate: Buy and hold (i.e. rent houses to other people), buy and flip (i.e. buy something that can have forced appreciation through rehab), build and sell (new construction), finance (lend money to other to do these things).

The other arguments like parties and effect on hotel jobs have not taken hold.
