Platforms like Fundrise already have a lot of non-accredited investors.  

The funding is generally structured either debt or equity and depending on which platform you use- vetted and underwritten in one form or another by the offering platform.

I want to start out by first saying thank you BP for providing a platform for the new and uninformed like myself to ask questions during the starting out phase.Scenario: I am currently refinancing 2 properties I have (1 rental / 1 primary) to pull money out for a down payment on my next property and gain positive cashflow on my rental. 

I was able to find suitable new tenant to rent apartment shortly afterward, but am missing one and half months of rent plus late fees and have some costs from damage to property (missing fence, storm door, bathroom mirror, etc).

Try to work your way up in the company and use your eventual "construction company executive" position as a platform to start your own real estate development company.2.

Selling with a 1031 needs to fit your needs, how much equity you have and what the tax liability would be vs the cost of doing a 1031 and a suitable property within the time frame.

You could certainly buy a note off of Granite's note selling platform, but do your homework, as you don't enough funds there to get any sort of diversification.

Ru, you should be rightfully skeptical of any platform that says you can rather easily make big money by virtually wholesaling properties all over the US from your computer at home.

If you can't get suitable financing on this part of the project you'd probably be better-served partnering.

Honestly, I think either one is fine to use (don't take my videos as a conclusive indication of which one is better) - but depending on the size and purpose of your list, they may not come out to the same price, even if you're dealing with identical scenarios across both platforms.
