An easier way to find real estate development lenders

Securing a commercial real estate loan can be a lengthy and difficult process. Traditionally, construction and real estate development projects have been funded by local and regional banks. Unfortunately, the 2008 recession had a significant and negative impact on commercial real estate loan origination. Regulations that resulted from the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act and Basel III accord imposed greater capital requirements on banks as of way of reducing potential risk. This, in turn, limited the amount of money that banks have to lend. The fallout? Banks and other traditional lenders have become more reluctant to engage in construction and commercial development financing.

Enter real estate crowdfunding, which provides an alternative to the more conventional real estate development loan process. Real estate crowdfunding, or crowdinvesting, is a new method of raising capital through a collaborative effort that brings together investors, developers, lenders, and service providers. At Infobrij, we believe that crowdinvesting is the best model for success. That is why we have assembled a team of highly qualified individuals — people with expertise and experience in every aspect of the development and investment process — to help get your project off the ground.

Crowdfunding for real estate investment capital

Developers reap a number of benefits from this alternative funding approach. First and foremost they gain access to a wide pool of potential investors. These investors can close the equity gap between financing procured from commercial lending institutions and the total capital needed to fully fund a project from start to finish.

Additionally, real estate development crowdfunding offers greater transparency for both developers and investors. Investors are able to examine all aspects of the project before making an investment, while developers gain a venue through which to showcase their projects.

Furthermore, real estate crowdfunding results in fast real estate development funding, because the capital is coming from many possible sources rather than one commercial institution. The speed of the process ensures that you won’t have to pass up good development opportunities due to insufficient funding.
