These companies are trying to instill confidence in people to invest their hard-earned  money, so it's in their best interest to market themselves conservatively. 4)  typically all the investors that are coming in through the crowdfunding portal receive the same deal. 5)  no, there are no large, major portals offering individuals the ability to crowd fund their mortgage for their personal residence.
