Secondary Market

Auto-Invest Option

As with most crowdfunding sites, CrowdEstate has an Auto-Invest feature. This means borrowers don't need to waste their time evaluating the deals and manually choosing loans. Due to this method, the investor simply has to decide on the estimated rate of return percent per year, the sum he would like to invest and the period of an investment. If an investor wants some more precise parameters for his investment, he can do it under the "show more setting" clause.

How Crowdestate operates and who can invest?

CrowdEstate is available to all investors worldwide (with the exception of the USA, they do not operate there). You can put in and withdraw your funds through international bank transfer once you make a registration.

How do you begin making investments? (Account Opening)

As always, the first step is to open an investment account on the website. The process is extremely simple, and it takes only a few minutes to do it on CrowdEstate. You don't need to verify your documents to open an account on CrowdEstate, but to withdraw your money there is a mandatory ID or Passport verification step. Investors usually import their documents onto the website after they obtain their return.

When you have established your account you can deposit money through an international bank transfer on the website. Banks typically need time to move the funds - from 1 to 3 days (depends on the bank and country).

Making the Initial Investment

When you're depositing the money on the platform, it's time to look at the current project situation. Based on the investor's experience on the CrowdEstate webpage, many of them mentioned that in relation to a number of investors, there are not so many projects available. You need to be quick or use the 'Auto-Invest' feature for this reason. There is also an opportunity in the secondary market to find something attractive.

Should You Invest?
