hopefully some people with sage experience will chime in but I've purchased a number of HUDs and it was one of my favorite ways to buy.

Also I don't know if you have found the podcast on this site yet but they post a new one every week and have all 184 episodes available and at the end of the podcast every time they ask guests to give their favorite business book and favorite real estate book. 

It seems to be going along fine.RealtyShares is probably my least favorite of the platform among several I've invested on for two reasons: (1) they do not prefund their investments and (2) a long lag time from closing to first payment.Many platforms prefund their investments, meaning investors begin accruing interest the day they make the purchase, the day the platform receives their funds or shortly thereafter that date (ie. close to the actual purchase date).  

Because that can lead to allegations of favoritism, and biased or colluded results.If I were walking in your shoes, I would mention the prior report (but not  the company or person), question the comps that were cited, and the FMV being reported.You'll get a fresh look at the property and hopefully a better result.

If so, please let me know as I feel like Matt Damon in the movie 'Rounders' (one of my favorites by the way) when he was talking to his professor in the bar.  

I hope this helps, my favorite is 'Rich dad poor dad' it's more on investing than 'landlordism'. 

My favorite is the BWI Meetup.

Specific questions that were answered and one of my favorite "how to's"of the day, how to get rid of mold from a self proclaimed "mold buyer".

I'm just a hobby real estate investor with SFR, but I think what this team is providing to the Seattle area is super cool.Has anyone looked at this site or used it, or have any experience with it?
