DailyFunder Adds Real Estate Lending Forum

DailyFunder, the largest online community of small business finance professionals in the US, has added a real estate lending subforum to its platform. The new category marks the first time any category has been added to the platform in more than a decade. Unsecured business lending and merchant cash advances have for a long time dominated the user content.

According to the site, financing secured by real estate has experienced rising organic interest over time to the point where it warrants separation.

“It has become obvious over time that more and more real estate financing deals are being pitched in the Deal Bin so we have decided to make an entire category just for that,” the site said. “We can use this [new real estate lending] subforum for posting relevant deals or discussions. We have tried to move over a bunch of related posts so that they’re viewable in one place here but it’s hard to go through so many as this forum has racked up nearly 185,000 posts overall so we obviously didn’t hit them all.”

The category description says “Commercial, residential, hard money, mortgages, raw land, refis, cash out, construction, and all real estate lending” and it can be used to discuss the business or to post deals looking for lenders. It is completely free to use the DailyFunder forum. Users only need to register to post. Brokers and lenders rely on it every day. As of last public report, the site was garnering 2 million annual page views in 2021.
