As stated, many of these are so great, but the problem is, only the one member asking the question along with myself gets the ability to read and view it.

It also provides ability for multiple major tasks being done at once (while the utilities and foundation are going in, the building is already under construction in the factory)a few examples of projects (mostly the Florida and Louisiana projects) I worked on are at http://www.phncommercial.com/project-gallery/I will check with a few of my contacts to see who they recommend in NY area.

One essential element is that you need to figure out what is going on and make sure you get a non-refundable deposit if/so when they bail, or you have to evict them, you are covered.You still need to figure out why they aren't getting a mortgage and whether, given those circumstances, the lease option is still an acceptable risk for you.Finally, if you are fixing and flipping houses, the opportunity cost of having your money tied up in this house essentially for ever is very high.  

No duplexes even close to that price range though.There are still deals out there to multi family wise especially if you have the ability to purchase one that needs a little bit of work.Always great to see another active CT investor on here!

Not that you have to buy every deal they throw at you, but an ability to follow through (and occasionally doing so) is the key to building a good relationship.

I think it really depends on your track record, financial position, and ability to raise other funds.

I feel like the Crowfunding companies ability to organize and qualifiy borrowers is much more of a factor than what the borrower spends it on.

My conservative side demands more when I am not confident in the abilities with someone I'm working with.  

Do you have a team in place to handle all the elements of your investment business?

They will likely recommend offering a blanket loan where you can get your existing properties blanketed into one loan, with the ability to cash out refinance any equity into cash (use cash as future down payment).
