Three years after its launch, the online commercial real estate crowdfunding marketplace has surpassed $200 million in funded equity and debt transactions.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a two-way street. RealtyMogul.com gives individual investors the opportunity to invest in commercial real estate and it provides professional real estate players simpler access to capital. With membership now exceeding 80,000 and spanning all 50 states, the crowdfunding platform has backed more than 350 properties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur goal has always been to democratize commercial real estate by enabling a new generation of investors to participate in real estate opportunities that were historically difficult to access,\u201d Jilliene Helman, RealtyMogul.com CEO, said in a prepared statement. \u201cReaching the $200 million mark at this stage shows we\u2019re continually following through on this goal and growing as a company.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 opened the door for crowdfunding platforms in the U.S., and there\u2019s been no turning back. According to a study conducted by the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance, the Polsky Center at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, KPMG and others, real estate crowdfunding in the Americas has since mushroomed, growing in market volume from approximately $44.3 million in 2013 to $138.2 million in 2014. And 2015\u2019s volume of roughly $483.8 million marked a year-over-year increase of a whopping 250 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Helman expects crowdfunding to go mainstream within the next five years. \u201cI believe crowdfunding is the future of real estate investing for individual investors,\u201d Helman told <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\">Commercial Property Executive<\/a><\/em>. \u201cIt will be fascinating to see the first billion-dollar real estate asset manager who raised 100 percent of their capital on the Internet.\u201d<strong>  <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This online real estate alternative financing model is on fire and RealtyMogul.com\u2019s success is evidence of the growth. In addition to passing the $200 million mark, the company reached $40 million in distributions of principal and returns. \u201cThe $40 million in returned funds is as important in my mind as our total invested dollars, if not more. Creating value for our investors is what we thrive on. At the end of the day, it\u2019s all about them,\u201d Helman added in the statement.<\/p>\n<p>And just where will RealtyMogul.com be five years from now? Will the company have broken the $500 million mark? Despite RealtyMogul.com\u2019s enviable track record since inception, Helman isn\u2019t making any predictions. \u201cFrankly, time will tell. We are not looking to optimize for volume; however, we first look to optimize for deal flow that we think makes sense to finance,\u201d she told <em>CPE.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The real estate crowdfunding platform has become the first in the U.S. to fully fund $200 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":969,"featured_media":1004144791,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21808,21825,21783,1594,23891,21742,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004144790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-finance","category-investment","category-los-angeles","category-national","category-latest","category-west"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
