Mihir Gandhi

It was long awaited by the small business community, and on October 30, 2015, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted final new rules pertaining to how companies can legally ‘solicit' and gain investment from ‘the crowd'.

    • Will the major RE platforms like RealtyMogul, PatchofLand, RealtyShares, and others be acquired or go public?
    • Can the new SEC Crowdfunding rule (Title III) be used to finance smaller properties (up to $1MM) and will this rule bring non-accredited investors into real estate investing?
