What was your main apprehension when considering your first investment in real estate crowdfunding?
I wanted to make sure that this company had a solid and recognized foundation and support. The fact that BCV was a partner may have been the key element in my being able to join with confidence.

I’m not an expert, but I like the Foxstone “method” because it’s concrete, which is less the case with real estate funds.

Yes, why not.
Foxstone in a word?
