Posted

Hi,

My name is Yusuke. I'm a newbie for real estate.
Is a crowdfunding a good funding source for investing in real estate?

@Yusuke Koike

Are you looking to invest in crowd funding or raising money from crowd funding

If you are looking to raise money, now is one of the most difficult and challenging times because money is very tight and even the most experienced sponsors are struggling with capital raise / for those starting out it will be a significant uphill battle

Hi, Chris

Thank you very much for your advise.
Yes, I am looking to raise money for 2nd investment.
Is there less money in the current market than before(a couple of years ago)?

 Yes and its not even close. Few years ago money was easy to find and people were investing left and right. Due to many deals going bad and banks tightening their lending those trying to raise capital today are learning how hard it truly is. Of course it also depends on how much you are looking to raise.

 that would be one private lender to get money for that size deal. If you have 25-30% down you should be able to get financed for it
