mogul is the only platform that lets you invest in real estate from the comfort of your homes.
This is your invitation
We were trained at the epicenter of finance in the oldest, most prestigious club on Wall Street – Goldman Sachs. Shoulder-to-shoulder in the Real Estate Division, we spent 100-hour work weeks investing billions of dollars for the world’s wealthiest, old money establishments. With the little personal time we had, we tirelessly searched for a low-touch way to deploy our own capital into real estate.
We found nothing. So, we built a solution, we used it, we loved it. Now we’re bringing it to you.
