​

I was talking with the CEO of a major crowdfunding site and complained about some of the things that I've written about in my previous articles and talked about directly with other investors.

Why is this so hard?

I talked about how we simply don't see more than a handful of investments where sponsors have experience of even a single complete real estate cycle.

There are no conservative income-oriented equity strategies (core and core plus) at all.

There is no buy-and-hold. There is virtually no low leverage. Every single equity deal is either value-added or opportunistic an almost all are leveraged highly.

I'm personally not comfortable investing in the vast majority of these in case a downturn hits. So I have a lot of money sitting idle that I would like to invest but can't. And I've talked to many other people who are stuck in the same boat.

​

A new source for deals?

The CEO said he's willing to devote the resources to find these types of investments, if I can show him that there are enough people who would be interested in this. The key is to show him that there are enough dollars to make economic sense. So if you're interested, please indicate so at the survey below, and I'll let you know how it all turns out. Thanks.
