A recent report by the research group Massolution opines that crowdfunding and P2P investors injected $1 billion into the US real estate market in 2014 and that the number will double in 2015. New debt participation structures and an increased access to non-US investors are cited as two reasons.

Wonderful guide to USA securities law (including crowdfunding topics)!

Whether you are raising money in regards to start-ups to middle market firms to nonprofits/NGOs to personal causes, knowing the law/ regulations and always meeting compliance requirements at both the federal and state level is obviously very important. Slain's introduction covers the critical knowledge you would need for a sound footing to proceed with your pursuit of capital via the most appropriate form. The content is also currently up-to-date with the latest best practices. I look forward to his other books on related topics.
