Developed as a way to efficiently raise capital for real estate projects, RealtyShares has facilitated 20 deals across Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island totaling more than $15 million invested throughout the region. By leveraging technology and a network of 38,000 accredited investors, the company allows sponsors and developers to potentially raise money faster than traditional financing options.
“New England has a solid residential market and a concentration of metro areas that make for intriguing potential opportunities,” said Mark Masterson, Director of Investments at RealtyShares. “For our platform, we focus on projects that are centrally located, close to public transit or have access to employment centers.”
While also a strong market for commercial opportunities, RealtyShares has focused mostly on the single-family home market in the Northeast. Along with individual properties, the company has completed ten separate portfolio deals encompassing multiple properties per listing. The largest raised $2 million dollars from more than 90 investors from across the country.

Renting might be ideal for people who don't want to be tied down or deal with costly home repairs. Although renting has its advantages, there's no escaping the fact that rent never ends and owning is sometimes cheaper than renting.
Owning a home also presents an opportunity to earn equity and write off mortgage interest. But even considering these financial rewards, the process of buying a home is pricey. There are costs before, during and after a purchase. And if you don't prepare, you'll get more than you bargained for.
This isn't meant to scare or discourage you from the homebuying process. However, before you commit to one of the largest financial decisions of your life, taking these smart steps can save you thousands when buying a home.
Whether you are planning to invest your own sweat equity in a complete kitchen remodel or simply hope to make a few quick changes over the weekend, when every penny counts it’s important to choose projects that will make a big impact for the lowest price possible. Stay focused on the results you are after (put on blinders when you walk past those $1,000 light fixtures) and be willing to get your hands a bit paint splattered, and you can certainly achieve beautiful results on any budget.
From paint and hardware to DIY projects and sources for budget materials, these 15 ideas will help you plan your kitchen update.
1. Swap out lighting: Stylish new pendant lights can easily become the new focal point of the room. The hand-blown glass pendants shown here are a beautiful, versatile choice, and at less than $200, they won’t break the bank.
2. Add new hardware: Classic hardware is a worthwhile upgrade, subtly enhancing the look and feel of the entire space. Just keep an eye on the price per piece when shopping, because it adds up fast — especially if you have a large kitchen with lots of cabinets.
Count the number of pulls and knobs in your kitchen so you can quickly determine if the hardware you have your eye on will fit your budget — with plenty of beautiful pieces available for $10 and under (like the brass pulls shown here) there is no need to blow the budget.
3. Upgrade accessories: With limited opportunities for decoration, it’s important to make the most of the little things. Corral frequently used items on a woven tray, prop up a few wooden boards on your counter and display pantry items with pretty packaging.

This episode is full of great tips on getting funding from when you don’t have any experience real estate investing up until you’ve built relationships with small local banks.
1. Fill Your Emergency FundYour emergency fund is a pool of savings you set aside to pay for emergencies. It’s self insurance for things you can’t insure.
2. Pay Off High Interest DebtNext, or concurrently with the emergency fund, pay off all high interest debt. If you are paying interest on credit card debt, you should be investing in yourself and paying down your debt as quickly as possible before investing.
3. Get “Free Money” From Your EmployerIf you’re working for a company and the company offers a retirement package, make sure you take full advantage of any financial benefits they offer. Many employers that offer 401(k) plans will offer an employer match to your contributions.
4. Build a Financial RoadmapYou need to build a financial road map. This road map will help you understand where the real estate investments fit in your broader financial picture.
5. Be Aware of Common Investment ScamsFinally, study the common real estate investment scams and scandals of the last twenty or thirty years. Be aware of what happened, how they could be avoided, how they could be mitigated, and how you can spot them as they happen.
First, Other People’s TimeYou probably already buy other people’s time, such as accountants and lawyers. This is another form of leverage. Because they save you time – freeing you up to make more money doing the things you do best – they ultimately make you money.
Second, Other People’s WorkThere’s no sense in trying to reinvent the wheel. Instead, use resources such as mentors, books, seminars, blogs, videos and podcasts to learn from other people’s experiences and leverage that knowledge to make smart investments.
4. Other People’s IdeasAs you take those experiences from others, look for proven methods that can be replicated. That’s exactly what my company Cash Flow Savvy offers busy professionals
5. Scalable Production and DistributionAnother type of leverage exists when you can scale production and distribution. With real estate investments you’re not looking to scale distribution, but you can scale production in a sense.
6. Scalable Customer BaseA scalable customer base, isn’t a type of leverage you’d use in real estate investing if you’re focused on rental properties, but you might if you were flipping. That’s not something we discuss much here, but it’s an important consideration.
7. Other People’s MoneyThis is the form of leverage you’re probably the most familiar with. Let’s say you have $80,000 in cash that you’d like to invest in real estate.
When I made less than $30,000 in 2007 I was trying to sell houses as a real estate agent and flip houses with my father. I loved flipping houses, but was less excited about selling houses as a real state agent. I did not like cold calling, holding open houses, talking on the phone or many of the other tasks it takes to be a successful agent. I wanted things to happen for me, without stepping out of my comfort zone. It was no surprise that I did not find much success and I did not make much money as an agent. It is pretty rare to find success if you aren’t willing to step out of your comfort zone and take chances.
The biggest mistake I made that year was fixing up one of our flips myself. I replaced windows, doors, a kitchen, baths, flooring and fixtures. I worked very hard to fix up this house and it took me six months to finish. I learned a lot about construction during this process, but I also learned to never fix up a house myself again!
While I was busy fixing up this house, we were not buying more flips and I was not selling any houses as an agent. I didn’t have time to do anything else and it was not fun doing manual labor every day. Even though I thought working on this house myself would save me money, it cost me much more money in opportunities lost. The really sad part was we lost money on this house, because of a declining market and it took me so long to repair it.
