Times Realty News releases its “2016/2017 Real Estate Crowdfunding Report: Analysis of the JOBS Act and its Impact on the Real Estate Sector”

 

When President Obama signed into law the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act in April 2012, many people did not visualize how disruptive this Act would be especially in the real estate industry. Today, there are approximately 140 real estate crowdfunding (RECF) platforms in the U.S., which raised about $484 million in 2015 alone. The global RECF industry is projected to hit $3.5 billion by close of 2016.

David Drake, Chairman of LDJ Capital, says, “The JOBS Act has been a major game-changer in the real estate sector. The figures and impact of this legislation, especially in real estate industry, are undoubtedly mind-blowing. A lot of legislations have been passed over the last four years, opening up investment opportunities for everyone in the U.S. and across the world. Five years ago, this sector was exclusive for wealthy and well-connected people. Today, almost everyone in the U.S. can make real estate investments, regardless of whether they are accredited investors or non-accredited investors.”

 

The global RECF industry is projected to hit $3.5 billion by close of 2016.
