Acknowledgments
I had a blast writing this book primarily because it involved having discussions with some of the brightest, most inspirational people in the country: those who have seeded the new industry of real estate crowdfunding—whether it was their intent to or not. Naturally, therefore, I start by thanking those I spoke to for this book and who shared with me their incredible stories: David Weild IV, Jenny Kassan, Dina Ellis Rochkind, Doug Rand, Woodie Neiss, Ben Miller, Eve Picker, Ian Ippolito, Jason Fritton, Jilliene Helman, Harold Hofer, Nav Athwal, and Andy Green. Thanks also to Rod Turner at Manhattan Street Capital for supplying some amazing market data that underscores the dominance of the real estate industry as the primary beneficiary of JOBS Act regulations. Though it may seem an unlikely facet of writing a book, there were some technical and communication challenges for which I am most grateful
