DreamFunded Review
DreamFunded is a Title III Funding Portal that recently “pivoted” from offering startup investment to instead offering investments in real estate projects. As of this writing, there are not yet any open real estate investments. With no track record on real estate, minimal information on investment structure or fees, and no open investments, for now there are better places to look for crowdfunded real estate investments.
DreamFunded
- Investment Types: Real Estate
- Sectors: Mobile, Social Media, and Wellness
- Minimum Investment: $500
- Open to all investors
Pros
- Services available across the entire US, catering to various property types.
- Low investment minimums
Cons
- No open real estate investments
- All prior investments (which oddly are listed as "funded by accredited investors" are in one location (Sacramento, CA)
- No information on site regarding fees or other details of upcoming real estate investments

Regulatory framework
is an SEC registered Title III Funding Portal, which means they are subject to a range of rules and obligations around investor education and due diligence. All offerings on will have been through background checks of key officers and owners, and there are clear links provided to the relevant SEC filings made by the offering company. Prospective investors also have access to online forums to talk with other investors, and an online channel for asking questions of the sponsor raising funds (and viewing answers of prior questions from others).

EquityMultiple
EquityMultiple stands out among real estate crowdfunding investment platforms because their main investors and senior leadership come from institutional real estate finance, rather than being VC-funded. Seed funding for the company was provided by Mission Capital (later acquired by Marcus & Millichap) and their co-founders and board of advisors come from the New York real estate finance and law community. They offer fewer investments than some other platforms, but that’s a deliberate choice to take a more curatorial approach to dealflow. Overall, EquityMultiple is a solid choice for accredited investors looking for a hands-off way to invest in commercial real estate.
