Firstly the Freehold Crowd believes in America, and its promise of property rights and freedom of contract. These rights and liberties have helped create a great nation and given opportunities and freedom to millions. In many ways there is no greater testament to these principles than the individual’s ownership of land and real estate. But that doesn’t mean it must always be done the old and boring way. We want to maximize how much wealth and real estate our investors can own by doing things better and smarter, in a competitive marketplace.
Freehold Crowd’s founders are two brothers. They have seen much of what the business world can throw at you. From helping run the family restaurant to booths at the local swap meat, they grew up in an entrepreneur family, with all its ups and downs. They have an impressive record, from military service and startup founding, to finance companies, stock markets and technology development (and fraternity presidential term thrown in there to boot) they count on a wealth of business experience. Each developed specific strengths and expertise which are particularly well suited to compliment each other. They have increasingly focused on real estate development where applying the broad business knowledge, financial discipline, efficient operations management and “thinking outside the box” learned in other industries helped achieve much success. Wanting to leverage their technology background, Freehold Crowd’s founding team wants to widen the bottlenecks in the business to increase wealth creation for their investors. Freehold Crowd optimizes the returns that pooled capital, financing and real estate development talent & experience can deliver together.
With Integrity, Hard Work, and hopefully some Intelligence, we want to develop beautiful, productive, and innovative projects that create wealth for our investors.
Our mission is simple. We want to discover some of the best potential real estate projects around, lock them down at attractive prices, and offer them to our investors. By then offering top of the line management, development talent, and delivering on our goals, we wish to offer them the highest returns available in the marketplace with such low risk investment profiles
nvestments are about risk and reward. With Freehold Crowd you can minimize your risk while achieving high returns.
All of our investments are backed by the real estate you are investing in. While no investment is without risk, real estate is historically one of the safest asset classes out there. Our expert development team has a stellar track record. We are happy to say that to date none of our projects have lost money, and on the contrary, earned more than our conservative estimates.
While real estate is a popular investment class for good reason, retail investors often get the short end of the stick. Taking on all responsibility of real estate projects, they often do not enjoy the benefits of scale and leverage that professionals do. Subject to high retail construction costs, they may also not have the time, experience, and know-how to maximize returns.
However, we turn these pitfalls into advantages. From deep market knowledge and lower construction times / costs, the Freehold advantage works for you while you alleviate additional workload. Time is our greatest asset and we want to maximize your real estate investment returns without waste.
Returns are greatly amplified by leverage. When a project is properly secured, managed, and executed, leverage can increase the investment’s return without undue risk.
Retail investors in today’s environment will struggle with financing a project and getting optimal leverage. Retail loans have low LTV maximums and most often do not cover much or any construction costs. Second positions are difficult to obtain and have high rates. Often investors pay for improvement and development costs out of pocket, which ultimately lowers your return. With Freehold, you leverage our technology and the resources of our crowd to maximize your leverage, significantly improving your returns.
