An interesting concept, but don't most crowdfunding 'investors' invest in return for one of the offered products down the road?  

Again I can only speak for our market and the areas we work in, so YMMV of course - depending on the market you like, the property class, if you choose to self-assemble a team and manage from afar or go the turnkey route - all those details change these figures to some degree, I'm just talking big concept round figures here.

The basic concepts are simple but there are so many details to be aware of. 

Hi W.J Menscarow your wisdom and knowledge in this specific matter is amazing.However,can you compare this to Rent w/option to buy.What are the pors n cons of this concept?

It makes complete sense and is helpful to my brain which is working overtime lately trying to wrap itself around new financial concepts and approaches. 

The concept is very attractive.Thank you,Rion

I mean it almost sounds like a real estate commission tester trying to catch you doing these things since it is textbook definitions of the previously mentioned concepts.

I have never done that before so hope to get some advice here.I am fine with the concept, which is getting rent money now and have a sale down the road.

For $1300 extra that I'll spend on house wrap and labor, I don't want to take the risk.I have not built multi family yet from scratch, but my company has gutted and remodeled several buildings in uptown Mpls that were converted into condos.I know of only one multi family developer in the Twin Cities that understand the concept of exterior foam insulation and reduction of thermal bridging who uses zip wall system.Yes, you pay more upfront, but if you plan to keep the building for 5-7 years you recoup the entire cost of zip wall system by paying less for heating and cooling.In commercial construction, smart developers used exterior foam insulation since 1980s, I had a building in Hopkins that had that.

Everyone always explains the exact math incorrectly, which you just repeated because you've been given bad info, but you get the concept so that's good enough.
