.: Cozy sounds like the type of online payment platform that I am looking for.

@Scott Choppin the issue you are going to face is two fold; one, very few real estate crowdfunding sites, if any, will take on ground up development because they are inherently higher risk, longer term projects that do not appeal to the majority of current crowdfund investors so are difficult to capitalize, and two, investor demand for real estate crowdfunding slants heavily towards current pay on preferred returns which don't make good economic sense for ground up deals.These two issues may sound the same, but they are driven by different underlying dynamics.

It sounds like it would cash flow pretty well if you rented the 4th unit out.

Was just sort of curious if there was an easy apples to apples comparison but sounds like probably not.

@Justin Roland sounds good.

Sounds like you just need some general Information to get comfortable moving forward with a purchase.

I'd like to move that money to a 1031 is my plan sound?

It sounds like what you are trying to do might require the full loan which is anything requiring more than 35k in renovation costs for the property. 

The 1% commission idea sounds great, but at least with a certain Seattle company that is growing in popularity, their 1% only represents the selling commission.

I am truly very grateful for the sound advice and great wisdom in your words!
