If you have the cash to fix up houses now, that might be a good idea as long as you could increase the rent enough for the surrounding areas.

Hey there....question. ..is appraiser.com an creditable site if we are evaluating properties in surrounding areas for places im looking, because alot people dont rely on zillow...help please

Not sure if the deal makes sense. 1950 2 bedroom 1 bath - 1000sf in an older neighborhood, surrounded by like homes, but all well maintained.

Start going to REIA's and network with people, find out who the big players are and try to surround yourself with them, get educated in the field that way as well as reading blogs, listening to podcasts and asking questions here on BP!

As a beginner, with no experience of your own, this is the place you want to surround yourself with experts.

Are you actually in DC or a surrounding area?

There is a lot of overhead in all of this relative to what I have seen thus far from iFunding, but admittedly I don't have all of iFunding's documents yet because I am not sure I want to sign their NDA due to some overlap in us using some of the same securities attorneys they do possibly.From the promoter side all of the sites I have interacted with so far are lawyered up pretty heavily; presumably to limit their liability with the uncertainty surrounding this new industry.The bar of 50 investors was pretty easy for us to pass on Fundrise's site.

even if this doesnt help on this property, always be aware of your surroundings.

I hope to surround myself with a strong team.

They are great with most of the surrounding city.
