As a beginner, with no experience of your own, this is the place you want to surround yourself with experts.

Are you actually in DC or a surrounding area?

There is a lot of overhead in all of this relative to what I have seen thus far from iFunding, but admittedly I don't have all of iFunding's documents yet because I am not sure I want to sign their NDA due to some overlap in us using some of the same securities attorneys they do possibly.From the promoter side all of the sites I have interacted with so far are lawyered up pretty heavily; presumably to limit their liability with the uncertainty surrounding this new industry.The bar of 50 investors was pretty easy for us to pass on Fundrise's site.

even if this doesnt help on this property, always be aware of your surroundings.

I hope to surround myself with a strong team.

Thanks Ali, much appreciated - yes taxes and insurance can be steep in this area, especially given the recent press surrounding the changes in flood premiums coming down the line - thanks for the advice!

Join a local REIA, you'll surround yourself with other "do'ers".
