Tycoon Real Estate is yet another Crowd funding platform. Again, they are run off the basis of providing a quicker and easier way for investors to invest their money into real estate through crowd funding investments. Their projects are first funded and vetted by seasoned real estate professionals, which are then introduced to the would be investor.

For their company, there are two ways to contribute to their company. The first is signing on as a Member. Members have the opportunity to invest in different projects as well as submit projects to be vetted for eligibility in investment. The second way to contribute is by becoming a Contributing Principal. Contributing Principals have the ability to provide the capital and expertise necessary to fund and choose worthy real estate investments.

To become a member, it is as simple as filling out a contact form and waiting for approval. Just like other crowd funding companies, sign up is made relatively easy.

The user interface experience is set up much like other crowd funding platforms. The user logs on and browses the website which displays the many options for investments. Information is allowed to be viewed as well as the opportunity to conduct a financial analysis yourself. The user can then enter the amount of desired investment and from there the deal is complete.

The Tycoon Real Estate website is a bit underdeveloped, as well as unsettling in the amount of information they seem to withhold about their company. Again, the individual investor is presented with the problem of transparency and how legitimate the company is when visiting their website. Who is vetting these projects? What type of experience do these “Contributing Principal” Investors have in the real estate investment field?

It is very tough to pinpoint the competitive advantage that this company holds over others such as Propfunds. With Propfuns, there is a much more assured feeling that your real estate investment is well funded and being looked over by sound, experienced investors. In light of the recent recession, this is such an important concept that companies need to propose and implement more in their business. Investing in projects that at least garauntee your principal amount is secure, and those which are devoid of risk are the main real estate projects which Propfunds prefers to invest in. When it comes to Tycoon Real Estate, it is unclear what their investment philosophy is and where their focus lies in the spectrum of investing.

All in all this company may very well be well experience and legitamite, but their website doesn’t quite give off that vibe. If they took a little time and energy to see how they are representing their business, it may be a very wise decision to start with their website.
