Real estate crowdfunding investments take one of two forms: commercial or residential. The former involves property development—condos, offices, complexes and so on—while the latter deals with personal acquisitions through crowd-lent mortgages and loans. Combined, both investment types have pushed real estate crowdfunding forward, making it one of the fastest developing sectors in the industry.

When it comes to commercial listings, investors must recognise the risk. Like any debt or equity project, looking at the provided documentation is critical—proposals, prints, references, past projects, previous tenants, credit reports, tax returns, etc. Settling these variables early exposes the true bottom line: whether or not the deal’s profitable, realistic and on point. A savvy investor performs his or her own due diligence and stays vigilant every step of the way.
