AcreTrader, a farmland investing company, has launched its platform for investors at AcreTrader.com, allowing individual investors to participate in farmland ownership through a first-of-its-kind online portal, for as little as $1,000.
“Farmland is a highly attractive alternative asset class with historically low volatility and impressive, debt-free returns,” said Carter Malloy, CEO, AcreTrader. “Unfortunately, aside from buying an entire farm and managing it, the few investment options available aren’t realistic for the majority of investors. Prior to AcreTrader, there hasn’t been an easy way to directly participate in farmland investing.”
Through its portal at AcreTrader.com, using a crowdfunding business model, and under the JOBS Act of 2012, the company uses enterprise-class technology, proprietary software, and processes to eliminate the entry barriers faced by investors looking to capitalize on the investment benefits and opportunities gained through farmland investing.
AcreTrader identifies prospective farms, and each parcel is subjected to deep due diligence and review prior to deciding if it should become an offering through its portal.
