Topic:
So what is crowd funding? In 2015, approximately $2.6B was raised in real estate crowd funding offerings outside of Canada, primarily in the US. The majority of funds raised were for residential property development, and fix and flips. Crowd funding is relatively new to Canada. This talk will provide attendees with a strong understanding how crowd funding may fit into their financial and business plans. Attendees walk away with a checklist of the key considerations before undertaking a crowd funding campaign, such as choosing a portal, elements of a successful campaign, deal structuring, regulatory compliance, and execution.
Who Should Attend
Construction owners, renovators, managers, estimators, supervisors, and staff.
As well as, real estate investors, marketing firms, legal and accounting professionals, exempt market dealers, brokers, real estate funds and REIT managers, bankers, and other stakeholders.
Summary
Projects of real estate developers, homebuilders and renovators do not always fit within the requirements of traditional bank lending and financing sources, or at times such loans or financing may only be available at sub-optimal terms.
RE Crowdfunding provides an alternative funding option with investors who want to participate in the upside of this asset class.
RE Crowdfunding also increases the efficiency and transparency of capital raising for developers and homebuilders who are already accessing funds from accredited investors and retail investors using an offering memorandum.
In 2015, approximately $2.6B was raised in RE Crowdfunding offerings outside of Canada. The majority of funds raised were for residential property development, and fix and flips. Funds raised for commercial development projects were a distant third.
