Real estate crowdfunding has been growing exponentially for the past couple years, and this year the industry continues to move from being a niche phenomenon to establishing itself as a legitimate and credible fundraising tool.

It provides smaller investors the opportunity to directly invest in real estate projects located in their own communities.
