Only investors with net worth's north of $1 million excluding their primary residence or income over $200k single or $300k married can invest.The main reason investors are using (and will use the corwdfunding platforms more in the future) is they have exposure to  much, much higher deal flows. 

  * Finish the spaces and attach them to the current apartments as bonus rooms and charge higher rent (once current tenants move out).

For bonus credit, assuming I can rent one side at $990 or $950, what would you do with the established $850 a month month to month tenant?  

You could even offer a bonus structure that gives them a larger cut the quicker the project sells, giving them a greater incentive to make improvements buyers will want and to get it done.  

I don't see any reason to require him to wait until the end of the project to collect his entire profit (that feels punitive to me, especially if it's a contractor I've successfully worked with in the past).In other words, if my exposure is $0, that's all that matters...

Couldn't agree moreAnother bonus- If you can partner with a handful of other investors that you buy/list their properties for, you'll probably get repeat business if you treat them well and/or offer rebates, and you could easily get as much business as a "traditional" agent without as much work.

The best way to get really good exposure for a property for sale or rent is to run two ads on FB per objective.

Another idea is to visit a local REIA and ask who people are using.Topic moved to the right sub-forum for better exposure.

Having additional cash flow would be a bonus.
