Jamison Manwaring sought a way to merge his passion for real estate with an entrepreneur project driven by a community feel.
When the real estate crowdfunding laws in Arizona changed and opened up the investment market in 2015, he got that opportunity. Manwaring ran with it when he and business partner John Kobierowski launched Neighborhood Ventures in 2017.
Their Phoenix-based business brings the crowdfunding method of finance to the real estate realm, making it the first in Arizona to do so.
