It sources the funds from private investors — retail, wholesale, and institutional investors, including SMSFs — who earn a target income return from the project loans they invest in. Founded in the UK in 2013, and since funding the construction of over 3000 homes worth over $1.25bn, CrowdProperty launched in Australia in 2021 to help solve the #1 issue for small-scale developers — access to debt finance.
