Crowdfunding's Acceptance by CRE ‘Inevitable'

LOS ANGELES—Crowdfunding experts continue to see positive implications from GlobeSt.com’s recent online poll about the acceptance of crowdfunding for real estate transactions. While most admit that this form of fundraising is not necessarily for everyone or every deal, they say the poll results show that widespread acceptance in the industry will happen in a matter of time.

As GlobeSt.com reported last week, 84% of respondents to a GlobeSt.com online poll said they consider crowdfunding to be a legitimate and reliable source of fundraising for real estate transactions—with qualifiers. The results indicate that crowdfunding is gaining ground as a capital source among industry professionals.
