While the options for non-accredited investors to invest in real estate crowdfunding have been limited in the past, a few crowdfunding platforms are opening up real estate investing to virtually anyone. Keep reading to find out which options are available and what the best platforms are for real estate crowdfunding for non-accredited investors.

What is Real Estate Crowdfunding

Real estate crowdfunding is a method real estate investors and developers use to raise capital to acquire or develop a property. Multiple investors who want to earn passive income will pool their money for a real estate project. The investors will either share a portion of the equity or provide the money as a loan and earn interest on their investments.

Investing through crowdfunding has become so simple that you can easily invest in real estate online by signing up with the platform that’s right for you, funding your account, and choosing which offerings you want to invest in.

Since crowdfunding regulations allow real estate companies to raise capital without registering with the SEC, there are rules in place to protect investors. These rules limit who can invest in crowdfunded deals based on what regulation the offering falls under.

Best Real Estate Crowdfunding Options for Non-Accredited Investors

If you’re looking for real estate investment options as a non-accredited investor, below is a list of our top picks for the best real estate crowdfunding platforms for non-accredited investors.

Arrived Homes

Arrived Homes is a real estate investing platform that allows investors to purchase shares of individual rental properties. The company makes it possible to invest in rental properties for as little as $100. Arrived Homes also handles all property management responsibilities, making investments completely passive.

Investors who don’t want to fork over the cash for a down payment on their own rental property can easily get started with real estate investing and grow their portfolios over time with small $100 investments.

Ceasefire monitoring centre in Nagorno-Karabakh shuts as Russian peacekeepers withdraw
The Russian and Turkish flags were lowered on Friday to mark the closure of a centre set up to monitor a ceasefire in Nagorno-Karabakh, as Russian peacekeepers ended a multi-year deployment in the strategic South Caucasus region. Nearly 2,000 Russian peacekeeping troops were dispatched to the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh in November 2020 under a Moscow-brokered deal that halted six weeks of fighting between Azerbaijani and ethnic Armenian forces. Despite the deployment, Azerbaijan retook Karabakh by force in September last year, a move which triggered an exodus of at least 100,000 ethnic Armenians living there and the arrest of the breakaway area's ethnic Armenian leaders.
