"I've interviewed actual investors to get their views of the actual, on-the-ground situation. And I've pored through reams of legal documents, investment contracts to look at deal specifics. And I've also questioned principals, account reps, and support staff. "
We are very honored to be in the "Allstars" category on The Real Estate Crowdfunding Review, and recommend that all of our accredited investors familiarize yourselves with the site for guides and tutorials, news, and more information to help you reach your investment goals.
