Crowdfunding has opened up real estate investing to passive investors who don’t want to invest the time and energy needed to manage an investment property or put up a large amount of capital to buy their own property.

We’ve looked through the real estate crowdfunding offerings available this week to provide you with the top opportunities to consider adding to your portfolio.

Pinto Business Park Industrial Development

This offering for the development of a 282,190 square foot cross-dock distribution facility in Houston, Texas, is the latest investment opportunity on CrowdStreet’s marketplace. 

The deal sponsor is raising equity to help fund the acquisition of 20.3 acres of land in Houston and develop, stabilize and ultimately sell the to-be-constructed cross-dock industrial building. 

The project’s location has attracted numerous national corporations to open distribution facilities within a one-mile radius, including an 850,000 square foot Amazon.com, Inc AMZN sort center fulfillment warehouse.
