Just wondering what you guys have got to say on this.Most crowdfunding platforms are still in the US and only allow accredited investors. However there are exceptions popping up slowly, such as as the real estate crow...

Here are a couple of numbers I use -- and many other investors too -- although others may prefer to tweak the percentages a bit for their style or individual market.Flips or rehabs --  Take the After Repair Value of the home (ARV) and multiply it by 70% and then subtract the rehab.

Non cookie cutter front door style, and 99 percent of the time, I paint them black.  

Best to check with an attorney but I'll tell you my experience with something like this recently.I had a listing for a 1BR garage-style apartment and the owner told me she wanted to limit the property to 1 tenant.

@Fitzgerald Hall Nicely done, with class and style for days! 

The trend will not be like 30 year loan but closer to commercialize financing and much much better then HMLKeep in mind that delayed financing will require same kind of documentation as for conventional loan.

Since reclaimed wood furniture is still in style, as well as distressed wood floors; I am thinking I could save these floors, appeal to those that like wood floors, and save money?

I have been using Betterment to store my money for a while and the money has always trended upwards when it has been in there and the money is pretty liquid (it takes 4 or 5 days to get it out) but I am afraid that there will end up being a huge loss on the market during the time I find the right house and will have 2 options either let the house go or accept the loss.
