Crowdfunding can help investors and individuals who like to flip houses and make profits.
You are in a party and you hear the guy beside you say “I just bought a house for $700,000. I fixed it and sold it for $800,000. $100,000 in 3 months. Not bad!”. This is the time that you should get jealous and think to yourself… I want a piece of this deal! This is how Crowdfunding was created…
Crowdfunding is for investors that like to get a piece of the flip profits but without the hassle of working with contractors and waiting for permits. This is a great way if you believe in the flip market.
From the other side if you are looking to flip and need the funds, the Crowdfunding can help you too. If you one of those people who look at a piece of real estate and say, “Man, I wish I had some extra money, so I could turn that place into a palace”? If so then you are one that has a desire to do some house flipping. You have the vision and the creativity but not the money.
Let’s say though that there just might be a group of people that are thinking a little bit like you are but in the opposite manner. They have some money but don’t have the will or the way to actually do those repairs. You have the fixer upper talents that it takes to make an old house look fabulous, and which also means it can be put back on the market for a potentially healthy profit. These are the type of people that you can find in the crowdfunding industry.
Simply put, this a large group of people who all have usually a small amount of funds that they want to invest. They will all have their preferences as to the type of adventure they want to put their money into. For many they really like the thought of investing in house flipping.
You could take the long route and try and source out a bunch of individuals then collectively get them together as a group to invest in your flip project. Or, the much easier way is to source out companies that are specializing in this type of crowdfunding, to which there are a lot benefits for doing it this way.
These companies already have a database of funders who are keen on investing their money in this type of product.
