For some reason I immediately identified with owning land...dirt.

For leasing we'd give first month's rent with a MAX "once per year" per unit and a 50% refund if we had to evict for any reason, or there was any unreimburseable damage or other fees (i.e. if she doesn't do a good job placing a tenant, it costs her!)

Hi David,The main reasons people have parked retirement funds with me:1.

@Corey Law I wouldn’t do this for several reasons. 1.

Met with area PM & reviewing fee structure, and wanted a "BP spotcheck" to see if these costs are reasonable.* Ongoing Maint Fee: 10% with min of $200/mo * Leases: new --> 1/2 of 1 months rent with min of $1,000 // re-lease -> $200* Maint/Service calls: normal business hours --> $50/1st hr, then $35/hr // Off hours --> $75/1st hr, then $50/hr. * Project Management: 20% of total charges with $200 min.

I would have been wiser to not make the knee jerk antitrust comment in my original post, nor do I feel that's a reasonable course of action nor the government's business.

If the crowd is doing one thing more reason to do the opposite.

Any suggestions on folks you have used that provided a reasonable price and quality work would be great.

However, on Groundfloor you can only invest in individual properties, and can't easily pool your risk like you can through buying shares of equity investment eREIT's which are offered on many of the platforms.I have seen some sites which combine debt/equity investments into an eREIT, but I haven't seen any debt only offerings for some reason.
