Ground floor real estate investing with crowdfunding

The passage of the JOBS Act in 2012 altered the face of real estate investment as we know it. The law made significant changes to federal securities laws to facilitate capital raises for startup businesses by easing restrictions on private placement offerings. It also enabled “crowdfunding,” or the ability to sell equity stakes in small amounts to a large number of investors. With the explosive growth and reach of the internet, entrepreneurial businesses and startup projects can utilize the internet to publicly solicit potential investors. As a result, real estate investments are now accessible to a wider group of investors.

What does all of this mean for the average investor? Where investment in commercial real estate was once limited to wealthy, well-connected individuals, it is now possible for even the small investor to take advantage of real estate opportunities from their inception. In other words, qualified individuals can get in on the ground floor of a wide variety of commercial real estate projects, including shopping malls, office complexes, resorts, hotels, and single-family home tracts.

At Infobrij, an online marketplace for real estate investment, we specialize in offering quality investment opportunities from coast to coast to individuals looking to capitalize on the real estate market. So, who are our clients?

Yes, anyone can become an investor

Traditionally, investing in real estate was limited to individuals who had a large amount of capital to invest, a personal network of contacts in the real estate world, and the expertise and time to manage the property. Real estate crowdfunding platforms changed all that, by opening the market to millions of people looking to participate in commercial real estate projects.

Now, through equity crowdfunding, investors can get in on the ground floor of real estate deals with smaller amounts of capital. And their “equity share” in the underlying property entitles them to a portion of any income or gains that the property generates. Of course, all potential investors should engage in research and careful consideration before investing their hard-earned dollars. At Infobrij, we can help.

Through Infobrij, potential investors can examine and evaluate a wide range of investment opportunities, conduct an in-depth analysis and comparison of competing projects, and then submit an offer. All of this can be accomplished online from the convenience of your home or office.
