That is part of the problem with a lot of companies (I am not knocking insula as dont have all the info/facts just stating how the business works), they engage brokers to get them loans and the brokers collect a small fee. unfortunately many of the brokers may be similar to real estate wholesalers - have little to no experience. 

I'm new to bigger pockets and more importantly I am new to the real estate game.

Then start shopping for houses, don't engage in FOMO or real estate agent pressure. 

Are there many REITs that currently regularly engage in this type of feeder based structuring for a investors?

It’s been an exciting (and sometimes chaotic) journey, and I’m always looking to learn from others while sharing my own experiences along the way.Baltimore is definitely a unique market with its fair share of challenges and opportunities, and I’d love to connect with other investors—whether you’re just starting out or have been in the game for years.

I’ve read Kiyosaki’s books, too, and they completely shifted the way I think about money and investing—such a game changer.

The fix-and-flip game is always changing, and what worked a few years ago doesn’t always cut it today.

I always say—you’re NEVER too late to the game; you just missed an inning, and the game isn’t over!

I'm in Boise as well and pretty new to the game. 

It’s a game-changer, keeping leads warm and saving time and costs.
