A long time investor in Stock/Bond/Option, recently got interested in real estate investment. Purchased our first investment house in 2011. Since 2014, I started investing into real estate private equity opportunities and since the beginning of 2016 I invested in real estate crowdfunding through RealtyShares, RealtyMogul, CrowdStreet, PeerStreet, LendingHome, RealCrowd, Fundrise, iFunding, AcquireRealEstate, PatchOfLand, for over 30 deals in residential and commercial. Currently exploring RoofStocks, HomeUnion, ArborCrowd, Infobrij, and GROUNDFLOOR. Would like to share experience with like-mind investors in real estate crowdfunding investments.

 Hi @George Dai welcome to BP.  It's great to meet amother big crowdfunding investor.

In my opinion, the big theme  of 2016 has been the deterioration in quality on several of the sites ( without an increase in return). I'm currently being very selective about the investments I enter.

Also the abandoning of the accredited investor model by Fundrise and perhaps a second site as well.

 What is your take? Also, are there any platforms or sponsors that you had some bad experiences with and would recommend avoiding?
