Every deal on there has been passed over by the major players in that space so you really have to do your due diligence here

Mostly true.

curious if you’ve done due diligence on equity crowdfunding performance and can share?

No I have not. I’ve only watched their pitch videos

Is equityzen any better in terms of startup investing?

Equityzen, in theory it lets you participate in a group purchase of existing shares of later stage start ups.

Sometimes they will have “flash deals” where you can be the sole purchaser.

Sometimes you will see deals where they are participating in a funding round.

Not sure how they get around sale restrictions.

Equityzen has a much higher starting purchase requirement as well.

Haven’t used it personally yet.

I have a townhome I want to rent out and wanted to see if there would be any interest here for a furnished townhouse (just main things like bedframes, sofa, dining table, bar stools etc). Most property managers are saying people wouldn't go for furnished, but I think it might be helpful for someone who doesn't want to move stuff or buy stuff. Wanted to get opinions from this bowl as the property is in Denver - thoughts? It's a 3 bed, 2.5 bath in a nice neighborhood.
