When people think of crowdfunding, the first word that jumps to mind is Kickstarter. But crowdfunding is not limited to supporting the next card game or independent film. Crowdfunding is becoming a viable way to be part of massive projects that would otherwise be out of reach for individual investors.
A prime example? Real estate.
The real estate crowdfunding industry is projected to be valued at more than $300 billion by 2025. One of the driving forces behind this growth has been the low barrier to entry, and the ability for investors to enter larger real estate deals with smaller capital amounts. Compare this to five years ago, where crowdfunding was still an early concept that raised eyebrows, and it’s clear the where the trajectory is headed. The global crowdfunding industry has gone from $880 million in 2010 to $34.4 billion.
