With the introduction of real estate crowdfunding, investors now have a new avenue for investing. Here are few things you need to know about real estate crowdfunding and the jobs act.

In 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act) was signed by President Obama. The Act is divided into seven titles and has brought about significant changes to the securities law, and has also established new guidelines on how startups can raise capital through crowdfunding. Title III of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act provides specific provisions for crowdfunding.

One of the most significant changes in the JOBS Act was that in 2013, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) relaxed the rules on general solicitation, and this gave a boost to the real estate crowdfunding industry. With this, investors can search and invest in opportunities they want online.
