Thoughts on Working for RE Crowdfunding Investment Platform
Monkeys,
I am just curious about your thoughts on working for crowdfunding RE platforms (Fundrise, RealtyMogul, CrowdStreet).
Do you guys think it will disrupt the traditional PE? Some of the platfoms have insane deal flows (deal sizes are smaller) and these deals get subscribed relatively fast with low fees. I personally really like the idea of crowdfunding and investment management. I believe institutional investments should be made available to retail investors.
I feel like crowdfunding is a way for players to circumvent the high returns desired by sophisticated LP’s. Mom and Pop investors are fine to take a 7% return and pay fees on top, while that wouldn’t fly for the large private funding groups.
