INTERVIEW WITH NAV ATHWAL, REALTYSHARES CO-FOUNDER NOLAND ARARACAP
You mentioned earlier that the current minimum investment amount is $5,000 per property.
What is the maximum investment amount?
We currently do not have a cap on the maximum investment amount. An investor could potentially invest the
entire Fundraising Goal if they chose to do so. The fundraising goal is the total amount of capital that the
Investment Manager has indicated they would like to raise through RealtyShares.
An investment is only

them.
What type of person would be interested in investing through RealtyShares?

about a 3.5% annually.
Thus, Real Estate should be a part of
every investor’s investment portfolio.
However, most investors still struggle
to access a reliable source of quality
deal flow and to invest passively like
they would in a stock or bond. That
is why RealtyShares makes sense
for so many investors.
We only
launched a few weeks ago and have
already funded more than $250,000
worth of investments through our
platform.
This is really exciting

demand
among
investors
for
a
platform like RealtyShares.
If my circumstances change and I would like to sell my investment, how does this work?
Each RealtyShares investment opportunity has a specified hold period that is clearly listed on the Investment
Page. For an equity investment this could be anywhere from 3-5 years and for a loan investment, the hold
