In this short discussion, Tommy Dobczyk explains how a fractional real‑estate fund can be used to raise capital for earnest‑money deposits (EMD) and allow both accredited and non‑accredited investors to participate in early‑stage deals. He describes the Avestor platform’s structure, which supports a general real‑estate fund that can raise money for multiple asset types—RV resorts, data centers, multifamily, office buildings—while giving investors the option to target a specific asset rather than a blind pool. The conversation also covers the voting process within a fractional investment club, where each member gets one vote on presented opportunities, and the all‑or‑nothing commitment model that requires the entire club to move forward together on a deal.
Did you see the deals today in the deal room?
On a property that needs— that could very easily be something that a fractional fund would be able to do the EMD on. And we could raise the capital for the EMD through the fractional because that's not something that the equity fund actually performs.
That's 100% can work. Yeah.
Right. And so from that standpoint, if we had accredited or even non-accredited investors that wanted to partake in that and that early seed round, we can do that through what's known as the fractional platform, correct?
Like, hey, I want to invest in this and I don't want to invest in that. I think with our fractional one, we have to like present it. People vote on that and it's not like I'm going to invest in—
Avestor is designed and structured for people to, to operate a fund. General real estate fund, for example, is what we have. But within that general real estate fund, we can raise for multiple assets as long as they're real estate. So we can do an RV resort, we can do, we can do a, we can do a data center, we can do a multifamily, we can do an office building. What our investors are able to do at that point is determine that, well, I want to be just in the data center. So we're able to have an individual disclosure for them to just invest into that instead of a blind pool. So in the fractional space, I know that that's not a blind pool. As much as it is the, the money is pooled into and each individual member of the, of the investor club is then provided one vote toward whatever, whatever is presented by the club as opportunities to invest into with the pooled funds.
When they join an investment club, it is a group effort. So they don't have, you know, if the club moves forward with an opportunity, Everyone in that club is moving forward. It's not like 3 people out of 20 can say, yes, I want in this deal, and do it that way. It's, it's all or nothing.
