Patch of Land – WealthForge
Patch of Land and WealthForge today announced a collaboration to help make online real estate investing, specifically into real estate loans, more accessible for accredited investors.

As we continue to expand our investor community and our focus on high-yield, asset-backed, real estate debt, we felt it necessary to align with an established broker-dealer fully capable of handling our increasing volume levels in accordance with all SEC regulations.”
“Patch of Land is an online real estate venue for accredited investors at the forefront of a highly successful space,” said Mat Dellorso, co-founder and CEO of WealthForge. “As it continues to satisfy investors and rebuild communities in the process, we are onboard to be the back-end pipeline that supports its growth, facilitating each investment in accordance with the proper regulations.
