Hi,
Crowdfunding is not a new phenomenon and it makes big waves in the real estate industry that is beneficial for both real estate investors and real estate companies as well. There are various Crowdfunding platforms for real estate such as Realty Shares, Realty Mogul, founder, Patch of land and more, which makes real estate investment easier for investors and developers. I’m a real estate investor and I have used crowdfunding for real estate investment. As per my opinion, Crowdfunding is a perfect to invest in real estate because:-
1. You can easily access the real estate market
2. You can directly work with real estate developers
3. You have multiple options to access number of projects
