  • Love it !

    This is a great app and different investment than I use on my traditional stock trading account. It is VERY clear about the penalties to pull you money. In the end, they are basically telling you don’t pull it out ! I actually find this investment more safe. When the stock market starts sinking , and people panic sell you can lose alotttttttt of money in a short period time. Not with Fundrise ! They don’t easily give it back to protect all investors involved. Just sit back and collect your dividends , that’s what I do 😀

  • A Wonderful Investment Tool

    Fundrise is an amazing option for investing for the long term and consistent investor. The policies they implement into their program are great barriers to assure your money is only being placed where it can compound and create larger wealth, pooling your money with several other investors with similar goals as yours. After a certain quantity of deposits they allow you to choose primarily what kind of returns you’d like to see, whether it be growth, dividends, or just a very safe secure balance. Through these turbulent times, fundrise is another great way to diversify your capital into fruitful assets.

  • Wonderful platform

    This app is great. They told me about 10% growth a year and that’s about what I got more or less. I see a lot of people complaining about not getting their money back fast enough when they want to opt, and I don’t really sympathize for them, because I have many investments in real estate and understand how illiquid it is. It’s just common sense. If you invest in real estate, don’t expect your money back whenever you want it. Don’t put money in that you need easy access to, this is only good for if you have a spare $500+ that you DO NOT need on hand and won’t need for many years.

  • Wish I could file a complaint with the SEC

    Securities fraud alert for retail investors with very little. When you create an account it automatically withdraws $500 from your bank account and shows up in a transaction history after a day. I never agreed to a specific portfolio strategy it simply gave me one and said add 500 more for this different strategy. The website clearly advertises services where we “choose [our] portfolio strategy”. Very disappointed in how they appeal to retail investors in a manner that can only be defined as fraudulent.

  • Great Diversifier, top marks

    Fundrise has made it incredibly easy to gain access to a mostly illiquid & private marketplace. It has been a great income producing investment helping to level out the occasional bumpy ride in the stock market. The Fundrise platform also provides insightful/timely updates on portfolio activity and does so with intuitive ease. My wife and I have Fundrise investments across all of our investment accounts (Rollover IRA, Roth and after-tax personal savings) and have been impressed with the platform enhancements over the years. We’ll be happy to park more capital here in the years to come!

  • Terrible and Low Returns

    I dropped $1000 into Fundrise back in June 2020 to see what would happen. It is now March 2021 as I write this, and I have still yet to see any kind of respect in return. Initially invested me into 10 different funds and five of them are still “ramping up” and have been for 9 months. Two are “stabilizing” and have been for months. I only have 3 funds operating and generating miserable returns. Since I put my money in I have only gotten a 4.2% return in nine months. I should’ve just put my money into the stock market and I would be looking at at least a 26% return. In my opinion this company is slow, ineffective, and misleading to its investors. Pass on this one and buy a REIT.

  • Decent

    I put $10,000 over a year ago in and I get about $200 deposited into my bank account quarterly. So far I’ve made $1,200 which has been deposited directly into my chase account. I don’t plan on taking out my investment any time soon as it is fine passive income for now. I deducted a star because of what others have wrote about it being extremely difficult to take your money out. I am nervous for when that time comes. If you’re planning on just letting your money sit, it’s fine. Others are also saying they do not see returns. I believe the more you put in, the higher percentage of returns you receive (in my opinion based on the comments). I

  • It’s been great so far

    Lots of people don’t read when they sign up and perhaps though this is like a regular public reit or something. It’s not. Calling it scam is very misleading and irresponsible. It’s been clearly communicated that Fundrise is long term real estate investment and that it takes at least five years to redeem without fees. If this is not what you want, don’t sign up.

    This is better as an alternative investment and if you have some extra cash set aside for long term investment. If u need the money, don’t do it.

    I have been with Fundrise for 2 years. Return has been decent and I would say probably better than if you own your own real estate property if u do the math.

  • Great!

    I have been really enjoying my investing experience on Fundrise. I almost didn’t invest because the lowest deposit was $500. That’s not a whole lot of money, but since I hadn’t “dipped my toes in the water” I didn’t know if it would be worthwhile.

    The $500 I invested has grown to about $520 after about 4 months.

    My only suggestion is that you lower the minimum starting deposit and let people set up recurring deposits as low as $100.

  • Don’t know why people think a 4% return is a good investment

    When I first downloaded this app and went through their project portfolio, most properties shows about 8-12% return on investment. And I thought that’s what I could expect on my investment. But it turned out after one year, it only provided a bit over 4% on return. I thought I was put into different investment projects that yield lower returns or my invested fund didn’t reach a certain level but it turned out neither were the case. So it’s either 8-12% is a fraudulent representation or the differences are what the company takes! On top of the fees they collect. So when I wanted to pull my money out, they told me if I do that before a certain period I will be penalized which reminded me of certain mutual fund rules. I can say this is a total scam!!! Be aware and stay away!!!
