REIT Funding helps private REITs meet the 100 shareholder requirement for REIT status by making the task of finding and administering the shareholders simple and secure. We have a pool of over 1,000 accredited investors, many of whom are Qualified Purchasers under the Œ40 Act, allowing to attract and secure 100 shareholders in a fraction of the time it takes to organize this effort internally. And, proprietary systems to make the complex task of ongoing shareholder administration simple. Since 1998, REIT Funding has provided shareholders to almost 900 private REITs with combined common equity exceeding $180 billion. In the process we have raised over $100 million, $1,000 at a time.
