@Jay Hinrichs, thanks for the feedback...i definitely believe that Roofstock's platform is going to be a game changer as well. 

Don’t get caught up in all of the websites, software platforms, phone systems, find the deals.  

Idaly, I've done months of due diligence on over 114 different platforms and am happy to give you suggestions or information on specific ones that would match you.

Hi everyone, a few of you may have seen my enthusiasm in the past about utilizing Air BNB's platform to bring entrepreneurs together with investors to expand both of their businesses and while I have done some limited testing in my own market with favorable results, wanted to get other's opinions and share this idea.In the Twin Cities market in Minnesota we are fighting hard to find 6% cap rates in multi family homes (oftentimes even harder in single families) which has turned off many investors who have been sitting on their cash for the last year. 

I know one downside is that most syndications or crowdfunding platforms are open to accredited investors only, which I am not one yet. 

To add to @Shawn Clark point... there’s supposed to be a high speed DC-Baltimore train coming (who knows when) that’ll take you from city to city in 15 minutes: https://www.google.com/amp/s/dc.curbed.com/platform/amp/2017/10/16/16482438/dc-baltimore-bullet-train-shinkansenI️ have a rental in Baltimore that I’ve seen great cash flow with and I’m looking for more.

We're (all Canadians) are launching a platform to introduce our Canadian network to US-based MF opportunities.

VRBO and Airbnb are just platforms for marketing your property.

However, I assume it is a platform where you along with other investors pool money together to acquire/invest in real estate.More likely than not - You and the other investors will be limited partners in a limited partnership or non-managing members in an LLC.If this is the case - Would an LLC investing in an LLC/LP provide you more liability protection/anonymity than if you personally invested in the LLC/LP.From a tax perspective - the single member LLC will be disregarded and the income from real crowd/crowd street will be reported on schedule E.

I love this platform and have been following it since 2015 as i have came down the real estate investing world.
