A platform with the largest source of REI information I've ever seen, no get rich quick gimmicks, and it's free?! 

You can also build relationships with independent syndicators who do not operate on the crowdfunding platforms.

I'd say your best bet would be to get on a phone with a lender and talk through the proposed situation so they can give you an idea of what you are looking at and how much it's going to cost.

Best bet is to call a hvac guy if you want correct numbers  

From what I've heard on podcasts, if you are looking to go the refinance route your best bet is going to be a local portfolio lender. 

(it is 2:30AM and i stared at it for a sec too)So best bet would just do a house hack if you can on a cheap duplex and pay 3.5% down.

I bet he will really appreciate your making this post.

If you search public platforms for opportunities to invest, you will find mostly 506c offerings and they will come with those restrictions.Conversely, a 506b will not allow the syndicator to advertise publicly, but will allow them to accept accredited investors and up to 35 non-accredited investors as long as proper conditions are met and prior relationship between sponsor and investor is established before an investment is made.

@Anthony MaiI will bet my personal reputation, coupled with the wristwatch of your choosing, that this is a legit 3 unit.
