@Edward Keating Welcome.A lot of times we'll match a tradesman (Electrician, Plumber, Carpenter or GC) up with a Flipper/Wholesaler at our meetings.

You should build a relationship with an agent as early as possible so as soon as a property that matches your criteria comes available you will know about it.

I do have a question for you and the contributing members on this thread; I keep hearing the phrase "if the numbers match up" when referring to if a property should be pursued.

Just because the numbers don't match doesn't mean that it's not worth more.

This is more a distinction between investor/dealer.  

And @James Mc Ree, did a great job of explaining the downside with them with no prefunding (versus other sites which don't have this problem).If you're new to crowdfunding, I would recommend investigating all of the major players 1st to determine which of them match you best, before committing to 2 or 3 different platforms.

Congratulations on starting down the road.I'd love to chat with you about what you'd like to accomplish and see if our company's offerings match your needs and wants.  

Should I raise my offer price to match what the house next door sold for or stick to the $500-$550k range?

My business partner wanted to keep them but I am sure with the new railings we would either need to match or discard the old.

However, I do distinctly remember being taught about exponential growth.
