Investigate the SAFE Act and the CFPA.A buyer gets into a loan without paying points, loan fees and other loan costs.

Investigate the future development of these areas, area crime rates, and value changes. 

They seem great for individuals with not much time to actually do the work (find tenants, property management, investigate an area, etc.).

Get a preliminary development plan together and go to local zoning and planning department. 

I guess at some point if you find enough cause for concern you can let Crowdstreet and the FBI and SEC know for them to investigate.

make sure city inspection + code ordinance + all permits /regulation are investigated prior to purchase.

You are, after all, benefiting from this loan.Once you've found a title company you could ask them to pull together a preliminary HUD-1 settlement statement so you can start getting an idea of how much you will have to bring on closing day.  

Hopefully they will make you whole after an investigation on their part.  

This is a great place to learn and further investigate investing in real estate.

I was in a field management position and investigative position, so I was informed very well on things of the grid because I was the idiot out there when things went "poof".
