Take a look.When I first started doing this years ago I started with simple tasks...like find me a place to go on vacation this weekend...there is trial and error for sure, but the sky is the limit.Best of luck

Anyone from the D.C. area knows that real estate is very expensive here so trying to find a home for ourselves and buying rentals seems like a daunting task.

I have seen some on the internet, but are being offered by real estate gurus....

I just feel like the more I research on BP forum and on the internet, the more I am getting confused.

I find this to be a tedious task but its free.

No, unfortunately a lot of this is just not accurate.From the point of view of a passive investor in the deal: real estate crowdfunding is essentially the same thing as a syndication...except it's usually done over the Internet.

@Will Lotherington You will also have to pay for all utilities, add internet, cable or satellite (to do it right).You'll need to furnish it with good to nice furniture, provide consumables, sheets, towels, cookware etc.You will need to replace items as they wear out.You will need to clean the place after each stay or coordinate and pay someone else to do it.I think these cost will eat into or eliminate any potential profit over what a Long Term rental would bring in with much less effort.
