Crowdfunding Platform for Institutional Quality Real Estate

NEW YORK - April 26, 2013 - PRLog -- iFunding, a real estate investment platform, based in New York, announced today it will be launching next month. iFunding uses technology to make private real estate investing simple. Accredited investors can select and make direct investments in pre-vetted, institutional quality real estate directly on their website. To date, it has over 1,400 investors who have committed over $8MM of capital towards these projects.

“After spending many years working on numerous different real estate projects and observing how inefficient the market is, I decided to create a platform that streamlines the process and allows an investor the ability to conduct all business online. This includes being able to identify, perform due diligence and invest in high quality real estate assets,” stated CEO William Skelley. “Our team is comprised of a diverse group of individuals that have extensive experience in private equity, hedge funds and real estate working with some of the largest investment banks and firms in the World.”

This innovative company allows accredited investors the ability to select and make direct investments all on the website. “Currently, the only way to access these types of investments are through a private equity fund or REIT. The minimums on these funds are often so high the average investor with a net worth of $1-5MM can’t access them. Invest in a REIT and you are susceptible to the overall volatility of the stock market,” States Skelley. “Plus, our platform provides transparency and allows the investor to choose a specific asset they would like to invest in”.

iFunding is poised to allow investors access prime real estate investments in an easier, more efficient and transparent manner through the use of superior technology. Its team of real estate finance, development and private equity professionals has longstanding relationships with the real estate industry and will benefit the users. As Skelley says, “We work 100% on behalf of our investors”.

The company performs due diligence and feasibility studies to ensure that only the most promising projects are approved for its platform. The iFunding team has been involved in over $3B of real estate transactions over the last twenty years. Investors can choose from a pool of diverse offerings to create a portfolio of promising investments, behind a secure portal. iFunding manages and monitors the investments itself, including collection and distribution of the repayments, taking a huge burden off the investor. “The investor can simply sit back and collect dividends and not have to worry about property maintenance or management,” he added.

A recent Forbes (http://www.forbes.com/sites/groupthink/2013/04/19/crowdfu...) article listed iFunding as one of the top companies to watch in Real Estate.
