10 Years of Connect Invest

After 10 Years in Business, Connect Invest Taps Into a Growing Shift Toward Real Estate-Backed Fixed Income

A decade of experience positions the platform at the center of investors’ growing move away from market volatility and toward asset-based income strategies.

Las Vegas, NV — December 2, 2025

As the year comes to a close, many Americans are reassessing where they keep their money—and whether traditional financial options still make sense amid inflation, market volatility, and ongoing economic uncertainty.

With savings accounts struggling to preserve purchasing power and equity markets remaining unpredictable, a growing number of investors are turning toward real estate-backed fixed income as a more structured, asset-based approach to generating income.

That shift has drawn increased attention to Connect Invest, a real estate investment platform celebrating its 10-year anniversary this December.

From Market Guesswork to Asset-Based Structure

For years, investors seeking returns have often felt limited to a difficult choice: accept low yields from traditional savings vehicles or take on the volatility of public markets.

Real estate-backed lending offers an alternative—one built around defined terms, transparent structures, and tangible collateral.

Rather than owning or managing property directly, investors participate as lenders, providing capital to real estate-backed loans and earning income based on agreed-upon terms supported by underlying property assets.

“We believe real wealth should be within reach for everyday people,” said Justin French, Chief Marketing Officer of Connect Invest. “For the past decade, our focus has been empowering individuals to build wealth on their terms by making real estate-backed investing simpler, more transparent, and more accessible.”

Why the Shift Is Happening Now

According to Connect Invest, interest in real estate-backed fixed income tends to increase toward the end of each year as investors reflect on past decisions and prepare for the year ahead.

“We consistently hear people say they wish they had started sooner,” French added. “The end of the year creates a natural moment to pause, reassess, and consider approaches grounded in real assets and disciplined structure rather than speculation.”

This mindset has resonated particularly with retirees, busy professionals, and investors seeking income and diversification—especially those who want exposure to real estate without the time or operational demands of ownership.

Built Over a Decade to Reduce Barriers

Historically, participating in real estate has required significant capital, hands-on involvement, and long timelines. Over the past 10 years, Connect Invest has focused on reducing those barriers by simplifying access to real estate-backed lending opportunities.

The platform emphasizes:

• Fixed-income opportunities secured by tangible property assets

• Transparent structures with clearly defined terms

• A streamlined onboarding experience

• Educational resources to support informed decision-making

By focusing on lending rather than ownership, Connect Invest enables investors to participate in real estate-backed opportunities without managing properties directly.

A Broader Move Toward Real Assets

As economic uncertainty persists, industry observers continue to note a broader shift toward real assets and alternative income strategies—particularly those offering structure, transparency, and asset backing.

With clients having funded more than $2 billion in real estate-backed investments to date, Connect Invest’s 10-year milestone reflects a long-term commitment to disciplined, asset-based investing rather than short-term market trends.

The platform now sits at the intersection of income, diversification, and real-asset exposure—positioning it as an increasingly relevant option for investors seeking stability and long-term confidence.
