Thank you in advance for the help. 

Thank you all in advance for your advise.

Thank you in advance for any insights provided!

Thanks in advance!    

The industry came up with acronyms with standard definitions such as GRM, NOI, COC, IRR, etc... etc. so that all industry participants can be on the same "page" when they communicate.Including Capex in NOI is getting on a different "page" and makes it hard to communicate with others.

Thanks in advance for any advice on this, I'm trying to figure out the best avenue to pursue. 

The platform may allow investment by accredited investors only or be open to almost anyoneEach has advantages and disadvantages.The portals that allow anyone to post a deal have not been very successful and they will probably remain a fringe categoryMany investors are familiar with the big players in the industry that provide access to deals sponsored by numerous parties.As an example of a single sponsor platform I will use our own.In the last two years we crowdfunded/syndicated 26 real estate debt deals, raising just over $46,000,000.00 and two months ago completed our first equity raise, raising $1,700,000.00.Additionally, we did a co raise with a major real estate debt crowdfunding portal that was primarily residential and wanted to move into the commercial space.I will tell you that despite many similarities, no two portals operate the same, and there are major differences in deal type, vetting, costs, risks, returns, and transparancy.Keep watching this arena.

Im looking to make some connections and meet some people in the industry that are willing to share a bit of their advise with me, and hopefully help them as well. 

Is it related to the industry?
