New intuitive software and mobile applications, Kenny Slaught believes, give investors and builders a greater selection of lending and borrowing opportunities across a variety of real estate asset classes and geographies. California’s crowdfunding or person-to-person lending campaigns rose after the adoption of the Jumpstart Our Business Startup (JOBS) Act in 2012, which openly democratized the ways, in which sponsors raise funds for real estate acquisitions and development. The new regulation permits the previously forbidden practice of promoting or openly soliciting private funding from accredited people and firms. Anyone with a net worth exceeding $1,000,000, not including their personal residences, or with an annual income of $200,000 or a household with $300,000 per year, if filed jointly with a spouse, can qualify as an accredited investor.
