About
REALTYCROWD is an Australian property investment crowd-funding platform, allowing both retail and sophisticated investors to invest as little as $20,000 in properties and developments of their choice. The internet and social media have facilitated crowdfunding; allowing large numbers of investors to make small investments or contributions towards a security, asset or project. People are embracing the concept of crowdfunding as a form of social enterprise as well as a way to lower financial barriers to entry for artists, businesses and investors alike, best exhibited by the success of Kickstarter, Pozible and Indiegogo. Tighter credit conditions brought on by the GFC have spurred governments, investors and property developers to look for alternative ways to raise capital and boost economic activity.
