Investing in crowdfunding can seem like a lonely journey – a new project comes out, you sit behind a computer, read the introduction and while pressing the “invest” button you don’t have anybody to share the investing excitement with. The reality is that in addition to you, thousands of investors are familiar with the same thing. Luckily some of us have decided to share their investment path with others through finance and investing blogs. Check out our favorite finance blogs over here:

Marcoschwartz – Marco started investing in real estate back in 2010, but he quickly encountered a lot of roadblocks: tenants that didn’t pay or damaged his properties, high management fees, and the fact that he had to be present to deal with some legal issues. He made a lot of research for alternatives, and in 2014, he discovered real estate crowdfunding, which allowed him to invest in property without all the hassle that comes with classical real estate investing. Marco made mistakes as well – especially when choosing platforms – but he has now a solid real estate crowdfunding portfolio that generates most of his investment income. And that’s exactly why he decided to start his website: to help others succeed with real estate crowdfunding, with practical advice & reviews of platforms so you too can build a solid portfolio that will generate passive income.
