When it comes to private placements, if you wanted exposure to real estate previously and particularly equity, you write a 100K plus check. Crowfuding platforms have now allowed investors to write ten 10K checks instead of one 100K check. You got to admit, there is a tremendous benefit for investors here. Crowdfunding has helped individual investors get diversification  accross product types, geographics and also transaction type across the capital stack.
