LOS ANGELES—Real estate crowdfunding platform Realty Mogul has surpassed $30 million of total capital raised. According to the company, the milestone makes Realty Mogul the largest crowdfunding platform in the US, with 12,000 accredited and institutional investors who have purchased more than 90 properties in 30 states. These 90 properties are valued at more than $220 million.

"We believe our success is due to the combination of high quality deal flow, great user experience and exceptional customer service that we offer to accredited and institutional investors, sponsors and borrowers," JIlliene Helman, CEO and founder of Realty Mogul, tells GlobeSt.com. "Our equity investment opportunities provide property and geographic diversification to investors seeking to invest in equity real estate transactions such as apartment buildings, office buildings, industrial parks, self-storage facilities and retail shopping centers located across the U.S.  Our debt investment offerings provide investors access to potentially strong returns from short-term, high-yield real estate loans, while borrowers get their residential rehab loans quickly and efficiently funded."

Realty Mogul is seeing the highest demand for multifamily, retail and residential properties in California and Texas. The platform currently offers both debt and equity investment opportunities, and is seeing a recent increase in demand for debt opportunities. "We expect to continue on our growth trajectory, especially as we expand our online lending platform to include new product offerings such as residential rehab loans," says Helman.

Realty Mogul's many accomplishments this year include crowdfunding the first hotel, the Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs. Realty Mogul raised $1.5 million from 85 investors for the hotel purchase. The individual investments ranged from $10,000 to $150,000. The real success of the offer, however, was that the property received 120 million unique views and generated worldwide interest showing the real power of the growing crowdfunding industry.
