Keep in mind, they are dedicated and full speed ahead in note investing.

As far as marketing- you have a platform here on BP.

My Name is Angelo, I have been researching how to invest through many platforms but keep finding myself researching Real Estate.  

Depending on what these cost in your area, if you're dedicated, you can save up the 3% down, and living in the duplex with give you landlord experience, rental owning experience, and get your living expenses even lower (hopefully, if you buy right.)

I currently have no experience with real estate investments but I plan to dedicate time and effort to learning the business and how everything works.

Just know that most equity deals offered on platforms like Realty Mogul, RealCrowd, etc have minimum investment sizes of at least $10K-$25K so it makes it kind of hard to diversify.  

🌴Dedicated myself to being a housewife and mother.

There are some rental platforms on the Web that cover all aspects of rental application service and don’t charge high fees.

I'm not trying to discourage you from that investment. my recommendation is to do your homework on the platform, and if it's a platform that invested in third-party sponsors then do your homework on the sponsor. 

We prefer to think of Podio more as a central database framework and a piece of a bigger solution that when used in combination with Globiflow and Zapier it creates a perfect platform for us.
