Real estate crowdfunding is a method of raising capital where multiple investors pool their money through an online platform to fund a real estate project.

A lot fewer projects got started the last couple of years, and that’s starting to show up.Jobs still drive housing demand.

Make it simple enough that you actually finish the project, place the tenant, refinance (if you choose BRRRR), and see real cash flow.One solid base hit teaches more than ten podcasts.3.

Dallas–Fort Worth stands out with the most massive investment footprint—well over $30 billion in active and announced projects.

Many of these firms act as middlemen and may mark up properties or provide inflated rent projections.

Once you get it permit-ready, you can get a construction loan, but construction loan lenders want to make sure you are qualified and can execute the project competently since construction has things go wrong a lot.  

my model is toggle based either using actual numbers or airdna projections; if it's projections it's predominantly based on revenue rather than ADR X Occupancy Rate, thus the fee deduction should theoretically address the occupancy rate concerns 

Hi @Joshua Rodriguez, I haven’t done a flip on my own, but I have invested in flip projects  through my club, and from watching the operators and going through the vetting process, I’ve learned a lot about what matters in evaluating deals.

While the operator initially projected strong returns, the fund has failed to pay distributions for over two years, and several key performance metrics have declined sharply.Key Performance Data (as of Q4 2025 Report):Occupancy Collapse: Occupancy has dropped from 97.5% at acquisition to 78.1%.Net Operating Income (NOI) Decline: Annualized NOI has fallen from $3,323,252 at acquisition to $2,525,046—a nearly 25% decrease.Loan Non-Compliance: The portfolio’s Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) is currently 1.10x, which is below the 1.25x covenant required by the lender.Lender Cash Sweep: Due to the covenant breach, the lender has initiated a mandatory cash sweep.

My main goal is to connect with experienced investors and operators to learn from those already in the space.I’m also very open to helping on any self-storage related projects (market research, underwriting, deal analysis, etc.) to gain hands-on experience and add value.
