Investing through equity and real estate crowdfunding or asset tokenization requires a high degree of risk tolerance. Despite what individual companies may promise, there’s always the chance of losing a portion, or the entirety, of your investment.

Remember that when investing in crowdfunded companies, the chances of finding the next Amazon are very slim. So don’t blindly buy into equity crowdfunding, real estate crowdfunding or other forms of private investing without a knowledgeable guide.
