A recent social phenomenon is crowd funding. It was originally developed to help small businesses that could not get loans in the conventional way. Recently this method has expanded to real estate at large. It facilitates raising money for real estate developers’ looking to finance a new project, small investors to begin investing in real estate, helping consumers buy homes, and those who want to help save farmlands and small farmers in their communities.
Here is a list of those companies involved. Keep in mind that some are in beta state, and this is a new form of lending money. We have included the links to these organizations, if you care to investigate these companies further.
Fundrise for the socially conscious, focused on rehabilitating properties.
Realty Mogul incubated by Microsoft, where for $5000 an investor can buy shares in properties, which have been vetted by experts.
RealtyShares where for $500 you can buy shares in commercial real estate, apartment buildings and homes.
Fquare Investing in viable farmland for as little as $5000. They have a program in place where farmers can deliver their harvest to food banks in lieu of paying rent.
