I and my wife paid off all debt and save up our emergency fund, we got our finances in control and are now looking to start investing.  

Thank you @NaDean Bowles I've been doing a ton of research in this commercial space and new rules for establishing values (differing from residential)...I'm just finding it hard to believe that NOI going from 37k/yr to 63k/yr by doing some fix up,raising rents and passing off utilities to tenants on a 635k property 5.5cap will result in a 500k bump in value($1.1mil)..sounds good on paper, I guess i'm still yet to believe it will be validated by a bank or buyer...but according to what I'm reading and learning, it should be close to that.

It can be challenging to match up his funds amounts with the opportunities as well. 

But They seemed to specialize in providing funding through private investors which states they will take 1.65% of every profit on each investment.

From there we also discovered Afford Anything and the BP podcasts, where we realized that we wanted to go the real estate route, while still investing in low cost index funds on the side.  

I think if that happened to me I'd say "reach out to my agent to show proof of funds".  

Make sure the company/tenant is at least AA rated, and it is the start of a lease at least 20 years in length...with bumps...so you'll get "raises" too.

You could sell the land raw to an end user, ground lease the land, entitle the land and sell for more money than raw land, or a build to suit for STNL.Spec development is the riskiest because a lender generally requires so much pre-leasing before you have funds for construction.You could also partner with a more experienced developer for a JV agreement and learn how they do it.

Hi AllI am looking to raise money for a project through crowdfunding.

You can come in with extra funds from any source.
