Description: Real estate is one of the most tried and true asset classes one can invest in existence. Crowdfunding on the internet, in contrast, is a new technology that didn’t exist just a few years ago. Yet, it is already facilitating significant investment activity each year. And with at least 85 real estate crowdfunding platforms already in existence, the activity is poised to keep growing. Should you invest in real estate through one or more crowdfunding platforms? If so, which one? And if you do, how do you decide which specific deals to invest in? This Financial Poise webinar walks you through objective answers to these questions in plain English.
As with every Financial Poise Webinar, each episode is delivered in Plain English so that you do not have to be an Intellectual Property Law Specialist to understand and benefit from them. And, as with every Financial Poise Webinar, each episode brings you into engaging, sometimes humorous, conversations designed to entertain as it teaches. Each episode in the series is designed to be viewed independently of the other episodes so that participants will enhance their knowledge of this area whether they attend one, some, or all episodes.
