I would pay $10k for a share in an honest, low fee property investment. I can't afford losing liquidity to buy another whole property, but I'd like to invest a proportion of my savings against rental/commercial properties, as directly as possible, with as few intermediares and with many safeguards for bad times.

Yeah, I want to do this as well. When Tesla announced the gigafactory in Reno, I really wanted to pool together with others to buy an apartment complex or something.

Leads I can resell for $11,000. Sounds like a copout answer, but I basically pay Facebook $XXXk a month to do just that.

Definitely a copout :) Can you explain a bit more....do you have a way of gathering those leads now? A way that can potentially be automated?

Zapier for $150 a month solves my needs very handily. My lifetime value to them is probably going to be 10k.
