The New Face of Real Estate Crowdfunding: Creative Equity Group

NEW YORK, Oct. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Crowdfunding is quickly changing the real-estate investment market where it is offering developers new ways to finance projects, small investors a foot in the door, and the socially conscious a pathway to support their local communities. Creative Equity Group is doing just that while making it a simple process for the investor.

Creative Equity Group (CEG), comprised of 5 savvy and experienced real estate investors, is using a progressive method of raising funds for the use of investing in various real estate projects in the New York Metropolitan market. Due to a backward and broken investment model with confusing language, excessive fees and middlemen creating a complicated and inefficient process, these 5 investors decided to revolutionize the landscape and create a business model that makes private real estate investing simple.  "What makes Creative Equity Group unique is our diverse backgrounds which encompass real estate, finance, technology and design" says Hugo Ramirez, co-founder and Director of Acquisitions of the Creative Equity Group. The fact that they're from the financial and real estate capital of the world, New York City, allows their expertise to shine through a cluttered world of muddled investments.

The public is now able to invest in an asset class that has traditionally been the exclusive domain of wealthy investors and private equity firms. The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act ("JOBS Act"), signed into law April 2012, will ease restrictions on investments in closely held companies, including those set up to own commercial property. These investors are defined as those earning less than $200,000 per year and a net worth of less than $1 million.

Creative Equity Group provides a platform that can revolutionize who influences neighborhood development by giving the general public the opportunity to invest in and own local real estate and businesses. "For some time, we have been doing real estate investing and developing, where we have dealt with institutional investors. Why are the only ones allowed to invest in real estate? Why not my neighbors or friends?" said Christopher Goodson, co-founder and General Legal Counsel of the Creative Equity Group.   "We have built a very lucrative real estate investing model that was predicated on equality. Anyone can become a success story with the proper guidance."

Reasons why potential investors should invest in local projects with CEG:

1. Access to properties not yet on the market
2. Can choose a project closest to their geographic location – "Investing Locally"
3. No middleman – work directly with the partners
4. Opportunity to enhance their community
5. Connect with like-minded investors
6. No guesswork or hard labor – CEG has that covered!
