CHICAGO, Sept. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Origin Capital, a real estate investment firm, today unveiled its new website that will allow a broad range of investors to participate in its commercial real estate acquisitions for the first time.
With this announcement, Origin Capital is making its investment activities more accessible and efficient to investors by moving the entire process online. Investors will now be able to access new investment opportunities through a state of the art secure online portal at 1/10th the investment minimum previously required, and can expect to receive real time updates on property performance. Origin Capital has an impeccable track record, acquiring 24 properties since 2011, with an average internal rate of return tracking more than 25%. New investors will be able to leverage a proven manager and will be investing side by side with institutions, family offices, and Origin's principals. While REITs have previously served as the industry's de facto resource for pooling investments to access deals, technology platforms—such as Origin Capital's—accelerate and streamline investment access to commercial real estate deals for accredited investors.
Origin Capital is so committed to delivering the highest standards possible that the company will offer investors a full redemption during the first year if they are not completely satisfied with the service of the Company, likely an industry first and only.
A recent study from Massolution predicted that investments in real estate through crowdfunding platforms will reach $2.5 billion by the end of 2015. With a massive market opportunity and established track record, Origin Capital will use the firm's added technology layer to open up online real estate investments. These investments will open with a minimum investment size of $25,000, lowering the entry point for accredited investors to access high-return CRE investments.
"With Origin Capital's investment in technology, we're delivering an added layer of value to our clients," said Michael Episcope, cofounder and Principal at Origin Capital. "Origin Capital is combining an established real estate investment platform with world-class technology to bring real estate investments into the 21st century and deliver the most transparent, efficient real estate investment platform available."
The Origin Capital management team has invested 34 percent of the required equity into its individual deals and funds, making the firm the most aligned and transparent investment manager in the market. Origin Capital also eliminates middlemen, by purchasing and executing on deals directly, drastically increasing returns for accredited investors and eliminating unnecessary fees. The firm has acquisition team members in each of its markets—with offices in Chicago, Dallas, and Charlotte—helping to maintain the firm's focus on building relationships that help Origin Capital purchase the best real estate investment deals.
"Origin Capital's job is to build and preserve wealth for our clients by finding and investing in the best real estate investments possible. Our process is simple. We buy right, capitalize appropriately, and maximize value through a hands on management approach," said David Scherer, co-founder and principal at Origin Capital. "We pour through hundreds of commercial real estate investment deals to find a few great opportunities that we feel comfortable putting our money, and our client's, into."
