Crowdfunding platforms

CalTier

CalTier Inc runs an online platform through which investors buy into a managed multifamily real estate fund rather than into individual deals. The fund is offered under Tier II of Regulation A, which is what allows non-accredited investors to take part, subject to limits on how much they may invest.

Investors create an account on the CalTier platform to see available offerings. Investment advice on that platform is provided by CalTier Advisors LLC, a Registered Internet Adviser with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and paid by CalTier for the service. Securities are offered and distributed through Dalmore Group LLC, a FINRA and SIPC member acting as broker of record. CalTier also partners with self-directed IRA custodians so retirement money can be invested directly.

Distributions are intended to be paid each quarter at managerial discretion as properties produce, with returns described as rental income from a rotating portfolio plus profits on asset sales. Redemptions are not always available and the offering circular governs the terms.

At the time of this crawl the site carried a notice that CalTier Fund I's Regulation A offering is paused and not accepting new investments, along with a requalification notice. Anyone evaluating CalTier should confirm whether the offering has reopened before planning around it.

Best for

Retail and self-directed IRA investors who want one managed multifamily fund instead of deal-by-deal syndications - but not for anyone who needs to place money now, since the Reg A offering is paused.
