Real Estate Crowd Funding
Real estate is a popular investment option that can provide potential benefits such as rental income, property appreciation, and tax advantages. Property is often a lifelong investment for your own home that can be sold on at a later date for an appreciated value or used as collateral for loans to purchase additional properties for investment.

However, this commitment is not for everyone as it involves a lot of debt and capital outlay that you may not have or be comfortable with. However there are alternatives that enables you to add this to your portfolio for a small amount of cash without having to purchase a complete home or property.
Crowdfunding real estate platforms allow individuals to pool their funds together to invest in real estate projects or properties managed by professional real estate companies, using experts in the industry to look for the best opportunities.
The lower barriers to entry enable investors to participate in real estate opportunities with smaller amounts of money offering diversification across multiple properties and projects. The properties are typically rented out providing investors with a monthly income. And also as the property ages and hopefully increases in value the platform will try and sell at a higher value, providing investors with a profit from the initial purchase.
