Micro Apartments Zero Energy We Buy Land Crowd Funding
This is a simple outline for the crowd funding platform being created by Connecticut Real Estate. Connecticut Real Estate will be developing socially responsible projects that show environmental, ethical, philanthropic and economic responsibility. We plan to use sustainable construction methods to build communities that allow people to live, learn, work, play and worship. Housing is the cornerstone and will serve people from all walks of life including older people and disabled people. These properties will include art galleries/music venues, community gardens, and places of worship as well as a robust community center. App developers can email questions to after reviewing this page. Email questions to Broker@CTREB.com
We are building communities for people from all walks of life. It won’t happen overnight, so each day we will step forward and ask people to join the quest. Global peace and a perfect world sound great but chasing perfection doesn’t usually work out well. We would like to leave the world a better place. We would like to create a legacy to be proud of and we would like your help. Below is an example of some of our concepts.
We plan to create a crowdfunding site that will generate 5 sources of donations and investments. We plan to cautiously explore blockchain options as well as traditional currency methods of processing funding.
- Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Lending Crowdfunding:
Lending crowdfunding allows an entrepreneur, non-profit entity or business to borrow money from a group of people instead of a bank. Connecticut Real Estate’s socially oriented housing projects can offer a high rate of return and a flexible payback. We hope to connect with investors who want to lend money on socially responsible projects and do well by doing good. We believe our mixed-use concept of housing satisfies many objectives of the homeowner, town hall, and investors. Having all three work together on projects they believe minimizes risk. Interest rates are usually between 6% and 36%, and loan amounts may vary between $1,000 and $40,000. The average repayment term is about 36 months. The first $1,000,000 is likely to see a 300% return within 3 years as the majority of capital will be used for app development, land acquisition and approvals. Connecticut Real Estate will allow our clients to use our platform and land use expertise for a small percentage-based fee. - Donation-Based Crowdfunding:
There are many charitable aspects to our projects. Connecticut Real Estate’s Crowdfunding platform will allow for donors to donate to a specific project that strikes a chord with them. This will allow the business to expand by providing revenue to socially responsible projects that would not fit into the usual business plan. We hope to inspire confidence in our donors with timely updates that will be available on our app and through our events that are designed to increase donation amounts. GoFundMe is the most popular donation-based crowdfunding platform, resulting in a total of $5 billion in donations for charitable causes. Our app will integrate into other donation sites such as Gofundme to increase our exposure. The app will be available to our tenants to raise money for community projects, worship-related needs and even health care expenses. - Rewards-Based Crowdfunding:
The Connecticut Art Gallery is entwined into Connecticut real estate and is expected to be the largest retailer in the state in just a few short years. The Gallery promotes authors, musicians, artists and performing artists. Reward-based platforms include donations, and they provide a specific reward to donors. We foresee the rewards to be art related and locally created. Kickstarter and IndieGogo are very popular reward-based crowdfunding platforms utilized mainly by artists, musicians, designers, and filmmakers to fund everything from music and films to technologies and designs. With rewards-based funding, a goal must be met to obtain the funding and distribute the rewards. “It’s all or nothing.” - Equity-Based Crowdfunding:
Connecticut Real Estate will allow contributors to become partial owners of the project or company after trading capital for equity shares. Contributors to our business and equity-based crowdfunding projects will receive a financial return on investment and a share of the profits in the form of a distribution or dividend. This profit will be offered as a set percentage with tiers based on contribution amounts. - Hybrid-Based Crowdfunding:
To widen our appeal hybrid platforms will be created that blend the above models. Our goal is to harmoniously blend the elements of crowdfunding with equity and debt investment. This choice will only be available to lead investors, highly experienced investors who invest in a substantial amount in equity crowdfunding campaigns.

Crowd Funding For Socially Responsible, Sustainable Development
Crowdfunding has been a huge success story for many individuals, organizations, and companies. It provides an opportunity to raise funds quickly and with little risk. By leveraging the power of the internet, crowdfunding enables people to access a large pool of potential donors from around the world. With its minimal barrier to entry, crowdfunding also offers entrepreneurs the chance to raise money for their projects and ideas without having to go through traditional financing routes. This makes crowdfunding a great choice for those who need access to capital quickly or are looking for an alternative to traditional finance options. Crowdfunding also provides a platform for people to connect with each other and share their stories, making it more than just a financial transaction – it’s about making a connection and finding success. With crowdfunding, anyone can take their dreams and turn them into reality, all while tapping into a global network of potential investors. So next time you’re looking for a way to finance your project or idea, consider the power of crowdfunding – it could be the key to unlocking your success!
Crowdfunding is a powerful tool with numerous advantages. It provides an opportunity to fund projects quickly and easily, without the lengthy process of traditional bank loans or angel investors. Crowdfunding gives you access to a global marketplace of people who are interested in what you have to offer, allowing you to raise capital faster than ever before. Plus, the money you raise is yours to keep, giving you direct financial control of your project or idea.
Crowdfunding can also help you get exposure and build a community for your project or idea. By utilizing social media platforms, crowdfunding campaigns can generate excitement and support from people all over the world. This kind of visibility gives small businesses and entrepreneurs the opportunity to get their ideas out to a much larger audience, increasing their chances of success.
Last but not least, crowdfunding can also be beneficial in terms of gaining feedback and validation for your project or idea. The process of setting up a crowdfunding campaign encourages you to think about all aspects of your project, which helps refine it and make it more attractive to potential backers. Additionally, crowdfunding can provide entrepreneurs and small businesses with a great way to get useful feedback from their target market and find out what people think of the project or idea.
What Is a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)?
Socially responsible investing (SRI), also known as social investment, is an investment that is considered socially responsible due to the nature of the business the company conducts. A common theme for socially responsible investments is socially conscious investing. Socially responsible investments can be made into individual companies with good social value, or through a socially conscious mutual fund or exchange-traded fund (ETF). – Investopedia
