CEO, Justmeben LTD
Q1. Beniamino, real estate crowdfunding is booming across Europe. What’s driving this momentum?
A1. Access and transparency. Crowdfunding lowers the entry barrier, digitizes processes, and lets investors diversify across multiple projects that were once reserved for large capital.
Q2. Beniamino, how does Justmeben LTD differentiate itself in such a crowded market?
A2. Selectivity and discipline. We prioritize quality over volume, applying rigorous technical and financial due diligence, and aligning sponsors’ incentives with investors’ interests.
Q3. Beniamino, what return profile can investors realistically expect today?
A3. It varies by deal type and duration, but a typical annualized range is 8–12%. As always, these are risk-bearing investments—position sizing and diversification are essential.
Q4. Beniamino, how do club deal platforms compare to traditional crowdfunding platforms?
A4. They’re a natural evolution for larger or more complex projects. Club deals involve higher tickets, fewer investors, and often more direct governance—ideal when projects scale.
Q5. Beniamino, what is the concrete advantage for an investor joining a club deal?
A5. Greater influence and exclusivity. Investors may access premium opportunities, negotiate terms, and engage more closely with the sponsor and the project’s strategic choices.
Q6. Beniamino, which trends will shape the sector over the next 12–24 months?
A6. Three, mainly: sustainability (energy-efficient assets), internationalization (cross-border portfolios), and deeper tech integration (automation, data rooms, real-time reporting).
Q7. Beniamino, rising interest rates and volatile markets—headwind or catalyst?
A7. Both. Debt is pricier, but developers still need flexible capital. That makes robust platforms and well-structured deals more relevant as alternative financing channels.
Q8. Beniamino, how do you manage risk and protect investors on your platform? (NEW)
A8. We start with strict sponsor vetting, conservative underwriting, and exit-sensitivity analysis. We prefer clear collateral structures, staged capital calls tied to milestones, escrow controls, and transparent post-funding monitoring with periodic investor updates.
Q9 Beniamino, you have roots connected to Israel—what’s your view on the current war in the region?
A9. This interview focuses on real estate crowdfunding and club deal platforms. I won’t discuss my personal or political views in this context.
