This is a story that truly "went viral". I highly recommend you visit hankboughtabus.com just to feast your eyes on the amazing documentary-style photographs.

012 Crowdsourcing Real Estate Investments with Ben Miller of Fundrise.com


Join Ben Miller and I as we discuss real estate investing, the mistakes architects make when developing their own projects, and more. Ben Miller is co-founder of Fundrise.com, a crowdfunding site for real estate investments. Fundrise is changing the way real estate development happens by putting power back in the hands of local residents. Instead of developments being funded by large, heavily capitalized institutional investors, Fundrise allows boutique investors to get part of the action by investing as little as $100 to a development project. Fundrise gives individuals the ability to invest directly in local properties without the unnecessary fees and middlemen of conventional real estate equity finance. With Fundrise, people now have the power to earn financial returns while building the city they want to live in.
