Again, this only really works for properties of $750k+, due to the cost of the study.

Study the market closely.

@Jordan Moorhead thats why i like it, about 3 years ago i was studying the stock market.

Many good deals but there isn't a product from a lender or the investor may lack one thing and cant find a JV.I've been studying crowd funding and looking at lenders like Groundfloor, Do Hard Money, Peer Street and came up with a concept of a Closed Membership/Sponsor Fund.It would be limited to 100 investors (initially and the members would vote on any expansion and the terms of membership)Members would have a contribution of $2,500.00 payable in 2 increments of $1,000.00 and $1,500.00 when a minimum threshold is met by investments from the Accredited Investors.This would be a Reg D 506(C)There would be a Board of Directors (4 AI's, 4 Members, 4 appointed) to provide oversight.There would be 3rd party compliance and a trustee.Staff would be a CFO, Underwriter,  Transaction Coordinator, Accounting, Processors and Events/marketing plus admin.Only the members could borrow from the funds.

@Yvelt Lebrun make sure you take time to study.

That's why it's important to study these markets and strategies, don't let the "gurus" lead them down the unethical world of "finesse".

Its been on my mind recently as I am studying to take the CA RE exam.

Hi my name is Andy , I live in NYC and I always felt that it’s much harder to start out doing real estate alone no matter how much you read and study.

@Marc WinterUnderwater basket weaving Gender studies ..And they wonder why they get out and can’t find good paying jobs !
