Cityvest

Cityvest is a real estate investment platform that specializes in "Access Funds." These funds aggregate capital from individual investors to invest in institutional-grade private equity real estate deals that typically require million-dollar minimums. By pooling money, Cityvest lowers the entry point to $25,000 for accredited investors.

The platform focuses on value-add multifamily and commercial properties with experienced sponsors. Cityvest performs due diligence on the deals and structures the investment vehicles. It is a legitimate platform for wealthy individuals seeking passive exposure to high-return commercial real estate deals often unavailable to the public.
