Real Estate Crowdfunding for Long-Term vs Short-Term Investments

In recent years, real estate crowdfunding has emerged as a potent avenue for investors seeking to diversify their portfolio. This modern investment model leverages the collective financial capabilities of numerous investors to fund real estate projects, thus democratizing access to the real estate market. This article delves into the comparison of long-term versus short-term investments in real estate crowdfunding, shedding light on their respective benefits, drawbacks, and ideal strategies.

Real estate crowdfunding is a burgeoning segment of the crowdfunding landscape, offering a unique blend of accessibility and potential for substantial returns. The global real estate crowdfunding market, valued at USD 14.3 billion in 2022, mirrors the burgeoning allure of this investment avenue​1. Given its nature, real estate crowdfunding presents two distinct investment timelines - long-term and short-term, each with its unique set of advantages, risks, and returns.

Understanding Real Estate Crowdfunding

Real estate crowdfunding enables individuals to invest in real estate projects without the hefty capital requirements typically associated with traditional real estate investments. Governed by a structured legal framework including the JOBS Act and SEC regulations, this domain ensures transparency and accountability, making it a viable investment model​​.

Performance Analysis: Long-Term vs Short-Term Investments

The heart of real estate crowdfunding lies in the returns it promises, which are significantly influenced by the investment timeline. Here’s a comparative analysis based on available case studies and general investment principles:

Long-Term Investments

  • Nature

Long-term investments often span several years or even decades. Investors aim for property value appreciation and a steady stream of rental income over time​.

  • Returns

Over a longer timeline, properties may appreciate in value, and consistent rental income can provide a steady cash flow.

  • Case Study

An instance showcasing the long-term investment approach is the Oakwood Apartments project, a successful multifamily real estate investment facilitated through crowdfunding​.

Short-Term Investments

  • Nature

Short-term investments in real estate crowdfunding usually have a predetermined termination date, for instance, five years post-inception of the trust​​.

  • Returns

Short-term investments may offer quicker returns, albeit often with higher associated risks.

  • Variability

The returns from short-term investments can be quite variable, significantly influenced by the prevailing market conditions and the risk profile of the investment​​.

Factors Influencing Returns

  • Market Conditions

Economic indicators, interest rates, and local real estate market conditions profoundly impact the returns.

  • Property Type and Location

The type and location of the property play a crucial role in determining both rental income and appreciation potential.

  • Investment Structure

Whether the investment is structured as debt or equity, and the reputation of the crowdfunding platform, are pivotal factors that affect the returns.

Conclusion

The dichotomy of long-term versus short-term investments in real estate crowdfunding offers a spectrum of opportunities for investors with varying risk appetites and financial goals. By comprehending the underlying dynamics of these investment timelines and aligning them with individual investment strategies, investors can harness the potential of real estate crowdfunding to its fullest.

All Shares will be issued in electronic form only and will not be listed or quoted on any securities exchange. After a Series’ offering has concluded, we expect that the Public Private Execution Network Alternative Trading System, or PPEX ATS (the “Secondary Trading Platform”), which is registered with the SEC and operated by North Capital Private Securities Corporation (“North Capital”), will be the only venue available for the resale of Shares. Resales of Shares will be conducted by Dalmore, as a broker-dealer member of the Secondary Trading Platform; provided, however, any such resale of Shares will be subject to federal and state securities laws and the restrictions in the Series’ Operating Agreement, and there can be no assurance that an active market for any Shares will develop on the Secondary Trading Platform, that the Secondary Trading Platform will be available to allow resales of Shares to residents of all states, or that the Secondary Trading Platform will be available at all. For these reasons, investors must be prepared to hold their Shares indefinitely.
