Cross that with the usual (wealthy) nimbys that don't want ANY changes, and planning/building departments with layers of bureaucracy that would make Stalin proud, and you have the perfect storm of why we have a chronic housing shortage.

I attended couple of seminars, read books, researched on REI online and watched YouTube videos.I am currently in the Navy on active duty and want to do REI as a part time business and I know this platform will be the beginning of my success stories.Thank you all for your suggestions, encouragements and help.

Denise - Although it crosses my mind and sometimes jolts me awake, I have been lucky enough to not have any redemption issues on my AL foreclosure purchases.

Cross my fingers....

It's a great platform to learn and network.

I'm sure our paths will cross one of these days :)

@Benjamin Von BlonReal estate crowdfunding is an online platform that brings those with the ability to find and execute on real estate deals with investors that would like to fund the transaction.

Obviously many smaller sponsors can bring forward good deals; however, if you can literally find no information about the sponsor online; it's not a good sign.The crowdfunding platform's management team - operating a real estate crowdfunding portal requires knowledge of at least two separate disciplines: real estate and securities law (and hopefully tech knowledge as a third discipline).  

Alternatively, explore the myriad of real estate crowdfunding platforms, and invest in several of the properties offered there, from SFRs in Dallas to huge student housing developments in California, to Class A office space in Manhattan.
