Big players in the crowdfunding realty share their amazing growth in the industry.
PRLog - Nov. 11, 2013 - NEW YORK -- Crowdfunding’s depth and breadth of influence is phenomenally huge. The passing of the JOBS Act has boosted crowdfunding platforms from corner to corner and with applications on different industries, including real estate.
The Soho Loft and FundingPost will present the Real Estate Investing Conference on Thursday, November 14 in New York City. This is the opportune time to meet up and listen to some of the Top 10 Crowdfunders in Realty Financing as announced by Forbes.
Once the JOBS Act is fully implemented, real estate crowdfunding platforms will allow more individuals, including non-accredited investors, to invest in commercial real estate projects through equity crowdfunding. A working knowledge and understanding of the new laws will work in favor of potential and existing investors and entrepreneurs in the real estate industry.
“The potential is exciting when more people can invest directly in a business they believe in, even real estate, and especially when they can do this swiftly and safely,” says David Drake, founder and chairman of The Soho Loft. Real estate entrepreneurs who are raising capital, real estate investors (VCs, Angels and Corporate), exhibiting companies who want to demonstrate their services for potential partners and investors, service providers or members of the press, in any form of real estate or real estate technology, are encouraged to join this landmark event where old and new players will redefine the new and emerging landscape in realty financing.
