What is the case against raising funds through crowdfunding to acquire properties? (I know the actual risks of taking investor money, but want to learn from others why more people don’t do it)

Plenty of people do this, but usually with friends or family. Most strangers will not trust you with their money

Probably true - I think most of the Crowdfunding platforms out there are from experienced RE investors, so people willing to invest in the funds have some trust in the that the people who run the fund know what they’re doing.
