We look for things like motivation and willingness to learn.One way Experienced Investors judge to work with Novice Investors is to see if the Novice Investors prove their motivation.Novice Investors Posting that you would love to meet Experienced Investors and hoping that the OP of this thread will pick up the reins and coordinate a group meeting with a good mix of both Experienced and Novice Investors will only demonstrate to Experienced Investors that they will probably not want to work with that particular Novice Investor(s).Although I'm breaking a rule by pointing out to Novice Investors a simple fix to prove their motivation, I just have to say it.When you don't have much to bring to the table AND you wish to network with Investors that bring a lot to the Table, then you have to use what is in your power to attract those that can benefit you.

If you want to introduce new rules or increase rents etc. they can simply withhold the rents and you go bankrupt.Not a good investment risk.

If they are, you'll be restricted on increasing income and may even have to lower your rents if the utility allowances increase from year to year.Just a few things to consider.

It can be done by experienced investors with a solid track record that will attract other investors to them.

The only incentive that any crowdfunding platform has is to maintain their reputation in order to retain/attract investors.
