Crowdfunding Your Real Estate Project

Under the JOBS Act (Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act), crowdfunding is alive and will be available for equity investors in the coming months.

Crowdfunding is a means for start-ups to obtain capital without all of the SEC red-tape that typically accompanies offerings to accredited investors.

Under the JOBS Act, funds will be available through intermediaries operating funding portals. An intermediary for real estate professionals to keep their eyes on is PropertyPeers. Visit their site by clicking here.

Real Estate Agents with Graduate Degrees?

At Long Island Education Board we have always believed in Education and we offer many continuing education courses to help raise the knowledge base of our local agents. Yet, we can't do it all and we point agents who really want to differentiate themselves to NYU's Schack Institute of Real Estate. Currently, NYU offers an M.S. in Real Estate that educates "from initiating and analyzing to negotiating, financing, and closing the transaction". Take a look by clicking here and see if this Masters Degree is right for you.

We believe in Education and strongly recommend that agents take the initiative to become further educated in real estate.
