How Savvy Investors Can Use Crowdfunding

Adding real estate exposure to your portfolio can be a way to get a little more diversity in there. But what if you don’t have a lot of capital to buy property. While some investors choose to use publicly traded real estate investment trusts, or REITs, to add real estate, it’s also possible to get started with the help of real estate crowdfunding.

You don’t have to have a lot of money to invest in real estate when you use crowdfunding. Here are eight real estate crowdfunding platforms designed for investors with smaller resources.

1. Fundrise. With Fundrise, you only need $500 to get started. You get access to a basket of residential and commercial properties in the U.S., including apartments, home construction and commercial developments.

You don’t get a lot of freedom in your portfolio until your account balance reaches $1,000. At that point, you can look at different plans that allow you to consider specific geographic areas and customize your portfolio a little more.

2. Fund That Flip. Wish you could make money flipping houses but don’t have the capital to make it happen? Fund That Flip can help you out if you have at least $5,000 to invest. Much like peer-to-peer lending, you look through projects and decide which ones you want to help fund. You invest the money, and you receive returns based on repayment.

You do need to be an accredited investor to participate, though. So you need to make at least $200,000 for the last two years, or have a net worth of $1 million excluding your primary residence. – Miranda Marquit
