Has anyone worked with Realty Shares?

Hi BP community! 

Has anyone worked with Realty Shares for funding your investment properties? If so, can you share your thoughts and experiences with this company and/or this type of fund?

Thanks for any input-

Kelly

Whatever you guys choose, make sure you ask who is in charge of their credit department. Do they have the experience and staff to handle complex commercial real estate deals. Another note, make sure that they have the legal and compliance background to negotiate favorable outcomes for retail investors such as yourself.

Thanks

 In the case of Realty Shares, the platform is only facilitating the offering so there technically is no credit underwriting outside of screening deals to protect the platforms reputation.  In cases where the platform does not underwrite on the investor's behalf, you'll want to look into who the equity co-investors are and that the sponsors have sufficient equity at risk.
