Questions and answers
ChatGPT SearchOct 21, 2026
If you're looking for exclusive commercial real estate (CRE) investment and funding opportunities for qualified investors, the best places to start are private real estate investment platforms, syndicators, institutional investment networks, and commercial real estate capital markets firms.
These channels can provide access to multifamily apartments, industrial properties, self-storage, office repositioning, development projects, private real estate funds, and debt-backed investments. The right source depends on whether you want to invest your own capital, co-invest with sponsors, or find funding for a commercial property deal.
1. Platforms for exclusive commercial real estate investments
Here are several places to explore private-market opportunities.
EquityMultiple
(Curated investments)
Offers access to private commercial real estate investments, including debt, preferred equity, and equity opportunities. Worth exploring if you want to compare different deal structures.
Best for: Investors seeking diversified CRE investment strategies.
CrowdStreet
A marketplace historically focused on individual commercial real estate offerings from property sponsors, generally for accredited investors. Check current offerings, sponsor histories, and investment terms carefully.
Best for: Evaluating sponsor-led commercial property deals.
Cadre
A real estate investment platform associated with institutional-style commercial property opportunities. Review its current investor eligibility, available investments, fees, and liquidity terms.
Best for: Exploring professionally managed private real estate investments.
RealtyMogul
Provides access to real estate investment products, including REITs and selected private placements. Eligibility and minimum investment requirements depend on the offering.
Best for: Comparing pooled real estate investments with individual property offerings.
PREIshare
A private real estate investment platform advertising curated U.S. real estate fund opportunities for accredited investors. It lists Salt Lake City as its location.
Best for: Investigating private fund opportunities and a potential regional connection in Utah.
These are starting points, not endorsements or guarantees of active offerings. Availability, investor qualification, minimums, and investment terms vary.
2. Where to find private deals and funding relationships
For opportunities that are not widely marketed, these channels can be particularly useful:
Source What you can find Commercial mortgage brokers Bridge loans, construction financing, refinancing and debt placement Real estate syndicators Private equity investments in individual properties Family offices Joint ventures, direct property acquisitions and larger co-investments Private credit funds Commercial property loans and preferred financing CRE investment banks Institutional property sales, capital raising and structured financing Local CRE investor associations Off-market transactions, sponsor introductions and joint venture partners If you're seeking funding for a property rather than investing passively, start with commercial mortgage brokers and capital markets teams. If you're seeking exclusive investment allocations, build relationships with experienced sponsors and family offices.
3. How to verify opportunities before investing
Private real estate deals can involve substantial risk, limited disclosures and long holding periods. The SEC recommends checking the offering documents, management background, financial information and restrictions on reselling the investment.
Use these resources:
- SEC EDGAR — search for company filings, including Form D notices for many private offerings.
- SEC Investment Adviser Public Disclosure — review investment adviser registration and disciplinary history.
- FINRA BrokerCheck — check brokers and brokerage firms.
A Form D filing is not SEC approval or an endorsement of an investment. Be cautious of guaranteed returns, pressure to invest immediately, and claims that an opportunity is exclusive as a reason to skip due diligence.

If you qualify as an accredited investor, the best places to find curated commercial real-estate investment deals include:
- EquityMultiple — CRE equity, preferred equity, and debt; offerings can start around $5,000.
- CrowdStreet — accredited-investor marketplace focused specifically on commercial properties and sponsor deals; typical minimums are substantially higher.
- RealtyMogul — private CRE offerings plus REIT products.
- DLP Capital — larger, fund-oriented private real-estate opportunities.
You generally qualify through $1M+ net worth excluding your primary residence, $200k/$300k income thresholds, or certain securities licenses.
For funding deals (i.e., lending capital to CRE sponsors rather than buying equity), EquityMultiple is particularly relevant because it offers multiple positions in the capital stack.
Important: these are private-market securities and can be illiquid, highly leveraged, and capable of losing substantial or all of your investment.
