G'day @Brent Sunlay, nice to see other aussie's posting on this platform. 

I’m dabbling a bit in the real estate crowdfunding platforms, but would like to do a few venture with real life people.

Hello all,I wanted to say hi to everyone in this platform.

Had some great success with selling on third party platforms like ebay and amazon but was getting tired of there fees and listing rules.

There's a ton of valuable info on this platform, continue listening to the podcasts and watching the webinars, you'll learn a lot. 

Has anyone used that platform and what was your experience with it. 

I discontinued it after one year.What I liked about both platforms was the ability to sync my VRBO calendar to my website calendar, the ability to point repeat guests and other referrals to my website instead of VRBO, the ability to take payments through my website and the automated messaging.

It was on Homeaway, my least-booked platform, so it wasn't as awful as it would have been on Airbnb (SuperHost), but the truth is, I am getting more and more bookings from VRBO/HA.

Also, there is always some risk involved so one has to be ready for it, and that's the reason some chose to be really passive and invest in ETFs, REITs or invest in real estate through a crowdfunding platform.

I was on a team that used Boomtown, I am familiar with the platform.
