A new take on real estate crowdfunding

The purchase of commercial property generally requires buyers to commit a large amount of capital or secure a sizable commercial mortgage loan. Consequently, direct ownership of commercial real estate has historically been out of the reach of the average investor. Fortunately, the advent of commercial real estate crowdfunding has changed that dramatically by offering investors a much easier and affordable option for investing in commercial real estate.

Real estate crowdfunding platforms make possible investment in commercial properties such as shopping centers, hotels, and office buildings, with an initial cash outlay of as little as $5,000. For the investor who is looking to include real estate in his or her portfolio, but cannot afford to buy property outright, real estate crowdfunding offers the opportunity to invest in commercial real estate with the potential to realize significant returns.

How we make it a win-win for everyone

To that end, Infobrij CEO, Brian Barbuto, has assembled a team of experts with decades of experience in both the development and investment side of commercial real estate. With practical knowledge of the development process, along with expertise in the areas of investments and technology, the Infobrij professionals are uniquely qualified to deal with every aspect of project management. We carefully oversee all parts of the development process, including dealing with local agencies, completing environmental assessments, and handling appraisals and escrows.

Every Infobrij project begins with an extensive background check and investment vetting process. Included are a market analysis, feasibility study, and appraisal review, the results of which are passed on to a leading national provider of financial due diligence to complete the underwriting process. We are so confident in the validity of this process that we invest in all the commercial real estate projects we underwrite.

Furthermore, once the project has begun, we continue to work alongside all the involved parties, providing the support and resources necessary to facilitate its successful completion.
At Infobrij, we believe that collaboration with investors, lenders, sponsors, and service providers is the best model for success.
