  What is “Crowdfunding”? Crowdfunding is the practice of raising money through contributions from many individuals, instead of just a few  Crowdfunding allows accredited individuals to invest in a project in exchange for equity — a fundraising technique legalized by the passing of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act in 2012  In amendment of the Securities and Exchange acts, the JOBS Act allows for citizens around the country—and around the world—to invest in businesses and products over the internet, as long as the goods and services are offered in accordance with regulations set by the SEC  Regulations for equity crowdfunding platforms include:  Transparency in company offerings, elimination of “bad actors,” and—the industry’s current hot-topic—limiting investment opportunities to accredited investors 2

  What’s an “AccreditedInvestor”?  Title II of the JOBS Act specifies that only accredited investors can invest in generally solicited projects and companies  To be legally recognized as accredited, an investor must meet one of the following criteria:  Makes $200,000 a year as an individual  Makes $300,000 a year as a household  Has a net worth of $1 million, excluding their primary residence  An estimated 8.6 million households meet SEC accreditation standards  That number is expected to grow in 2015 following the final rulings on Title III of the JOBS Act  These changes are expected to legalize investments made by currently non-accredited investors 3

  Opportunity in RealEstate Crowdfunding  Presently, 3.7 million investors have at least $100,000 in securities and over 8 million people are qualified to invest under Title II; when the details of Title III are finalized, roughly 230 million new individuals will be eligible to invest  Industry experts believe Title III will be clarified by the SEC Fall 2015  According to Forbes, the entrance of just 25,000 new investors to the market will result in a $300 million dollar bump in invested funds  It is further expected that amendments made to Title III of the JOBS Act will transform the U.S real estate investing industry into a $300 billion market  However, until the SEC finalizes the details of Title III, PeerRealty will exclusively cater to the nation’s <8 million accredited investors, providing the highest-quality deals to the Midwest and beyond!
