this is possibly a semi-newbie question. I've only invested in P2P rather than the 'equity' platforms. It's a long time since I read into propertymoose etc and decided not to use those platforms although they seemed exciting at the time, their returns seemed low and dependent upon capital appreciation, and the vote to sell or keep might not have suited me.
Now, I wonder why would someone go into these types of investments instead of going through one of those companies who sell BTL properties in cheaper areas? I know that some advice would say source your own BTL, don't use one of those companies because they are buying up properties which come with some downside without telling buyers what that is. But was the risk not the same for Propertymoose etc, (aside from being able to invest lower amounts)?
