Fundrise

Fundrise is a crowdfunding platform that allows average investors to invest in private commercial and residential real estate portfolios. Historically, these investments were only available to millionaires, but Fundrise allows you to start with very low capital.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the minimum investment?

You can start investing with as little as $10. This buys you into a diversified portfolio of real estate projects.

2. Is my money liquid?

No. Real estate is a long-term investment. While Fundrise offers quarterly redemption requests, you should plan to hold your investment for at least 5 years.

3. How do I make money?

You earn money through quarterly dividends (from rental income) and appreciation (increase in property value over time).

4. What are the fees?

Fundrise charges a 0.15% annual advisory fee and a 0.85% annual asset management fee, totaling 1% per year.

5. Is it risky?

All investing involves risk. However, real estate is generally considered a stable asset class that acts as a hedge against inflation and stock market volatility.
