Real Estate Crowdfunding and Cooperatives in 2025

Real estate investing is no longer limited to those with six-figure capital. Crowdfunding platforms and cooperatives allow everyday investors to pool resources and access big deals.

How Crowdfunding Works

Online platforms let investors buy fractional shares of properties. With as little as $500, you can own part of a commercial building or multifamily property.

What Are Real Estate Cooperatives?

Co-ops are member-owned organizations where investors jointly buy, manage, and benefit from real estate. They offer democratic decision-making and shared profits.

• Pros: Low entry cost, diversification, passive income.
