Featuring FMI’s latest forecast, the 2019 U.S. and Canada Construction Outlooks

January 10, 2019

Rumblings about a recession on the horizon are starting to make company leaders a bit nervous, but many are just too busy keeping up with current work to start thinking about contingency planning. In fact, the constrained labor situation, coupled with material increases, compressed project schedules and ongoing margin compression, are all creating more risk for E&C firms today and right when we find ourselves at the top of the market. As we like to say, “Contractors don’t starve to death; they die from gluttony. They get too much work, too fast, with inadequate resources, and then they get into financial trouble and run out of cash.”

The future of property investment

whitePaper | April 1, 2022

Real estate crowdfunding platforms are the only solutions available on the market. They o¬er the possibility to invest in a fractional way, to get dividends on the rents and capital gains on the properties. But we consider these platforms as "hybrid" solutions giving access to a right of "co-ownership" and therefore according to us, they do not in any way provide the possibility to invest in a fractional way. In the last few years, these platforms have opened up the crowdfunding market and made people aware of the potential of fractional investment and the strength of a liquid real estate market.
