Fidelity may be fine because they have essentially become a fin tech and make a good amount of money on trading and low cost access to the market.

Originally posted by @Jay Hinrichs:@Chris May  I have also heard that VC is drying up in the crowdfunding space as well.Very timely: http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2016-06-29/san-francisco-landlords-gird-for-slowdown-as-startup-frenzy-ebbsIt's definitely a lot harder to raise VC money if you're a crowdfunding startup, but it's hard to tell if it's related to the industry, a slowdown in Fintech funding or just a slowdown in VC funding in general.  

Not sure if anyone else is familiar with a few FinTech companies popping up where they give homeowners cash for a % of ownership and a stake in the future appreciation of the home under an option contract.Few articles: http://therealdeal.com/2016/09/23/tech-investors-o... https://www.washingtonpost.com/realestate/financia...Curious what you guys think about it.

Big data and analytics captured the public's imagination a few years ago when the Oakland As became the best team in baseball.Crowdfunding might look like magic, but it's the marriage of RegTech (JOBS Act of 2012) and FinTech (inexpensive powerful computers) that makes crowdfunding possible.

My daughter is in NYC like you, was an acct. major and has worked for a major private company in fin tech since they hired her out of college nearly 6 years ago, making a boatload of money and seeking our advice on how to "get into RE". 

As Lynda above mentioned, Cozy is one, tenant can deposit in your account (but that's also a hassle for tenant), various FinTech Apps like Cash App, Paypal, Apple Pay Cash etc.

Since then, I've worked as a Business Consultant for a boutique real estate development firm, to now both a Client Success Associate at a growing FinTech company and a Licensed Real Estate Agent. ​

First time going through an IPO (AFRM). Looking for any advice/strategies for:• deferring/optimizing cap gains tax• finding the right CPA (well versed in pre ipo options, RSUs, multi state residency during tenure, etc...

I've run my own successful IT consulting business doing everything from process improvement, design, development, QA, training, support, implementations, product management, and managing multi-million dollar projects with niches in ERP, FinTech, Procure-to-Pay, and Compliance. 

So we want to start an RE fintech company.
