Managing Director, RM Communities

About RealtyMogul & RM Communities

Our mission is to simplify real estate investment by connecting investors to high quality commercial real estate transactions. Real estate is the most popular asset class in the world, and probably the most fraught with peril for the individual investor. Individuals have extremely limited information and access beyond their own neighborhood. The ability to do due diligence is minimal, and it is complex to negotiate, purchase, manage, and liquidate.

RealtyMogul was created to make this asset class available. We allow our investors to buy portions of properties instead of entire ones or get exposure to multiple properties via our proprietary REITs.

Today we are one of the largest, most recognizable brands in online real estate crowdfunding, with over $1.1 billion in capital invested into over $8 billion of real estate nationwide. We remain focused on building the best online experience to enable investment into highly vetted commercial real estate assets and to educate our growing user base about the many aspects of real estate investing, all through an online, scalable platform.

RM Communities is a wholly owned subsidiary of RealtyMogul and is our general partner (“GP”) direct acquisitions business where we source and close multifamily acquisitions on behalf of investors.  Current AUM is $450+ million across 18 assets and ~2,500 units.
