Real estate crowdfunding has been a hot topic for the past few years and continues to gain notoriety. Praised for its flexibility and low barrier to entry, crowdfunding enables investors to directly invest in real estate properties
without having to amass the funds necessary for a mortgage down-payment. For
an amount as low as $500, in some instances, investors can contribute to a pool of investor capital that will enable a real estate entity to acquire a
property. Open to both accredited investors and the public at large, crowdfunding
offers access to the risks and rewards of direct real estate ownership in a
passive manner with relatively little out-of-pocket costs.
