Hey BP family, I'm an investor starting out in the Atlanta area, and after reading most of the forums on this site; I've learned that a great way to learn more about investing is from asking questions to experienced investors.I'm in the Atlanta area for a short period and wanted to know if I could take an interested investor out to lunch and pick his or her brain.

Does anyone have any experience with fundrise.com or similar crowd funded REI sites?

You found an awesome site and resource!

WELCOME, look around the site, read past posts, blogs and listen to the podcasts.

I usually learn far more from my mistakes than I would ever learn from my successes.Plus you have the added advantage of a large pool of mentors, advisors and information on this site.

The reason I think it is a scam is that there is NO contact information either in the ad or in the google doc.If it was a site trying to sell educational material or actually get birdogs, then there would be some sort of contact information in the ad.

The first 24 hours already makes me realize how valuable this site and people are.Rich

This is a great site with a ton of resources.

To evaluate deals in the future, be sure to check out this video if you haven't already:To find good contractors in the area, I suggest: Angie's List, networking here on the site with local investors, or going to local REIA's and asking around.

welcome to the site!
