I would probably say that unless you wanted to throw that at the wall and see if it sticks on, say, PeerStreet or some other "crowdfunding platform", you might should just use that money for buying books, maybe going to conferences.

They claim to be a low cost REI platform for beginners with 8-12% historical annual returns. https://fundrise.com/

But Cozy is good if you want to run your rentals like business kept track of everything (income and expense) on one platform.

The problem is that even though I can co-sign with my parents and get a property that costs a lot more (by myself I’m looking at 330k loan), a typical duplex that still needs repairs on Zillow or another house buying platform costs around 500k, and my bank said that I can’t use an FHA load on a multi family home because of liability issues so the minimum I can put down in 15%, which is 75k.....that’s a lot of money.

I would be cautious of the top of the market pricing i've seen in the duplex market in popular Tx Cities.

It's a popular spot for local movers and shakers.

I'm a noob, been in BP for about 1.5 months and so far  loving the platform.

And this was confirmed by someone I know that works for the town, also I went to school there and know this is a very popular street for college kids.
