Don’t do it
What You Can Do If You Lost MoneyIf you or someone you know has funds trapped in the platform, do not wait for the company to reply. Take these actions immediately:File an SEC Complaint: Submit a detailed report directly to the SEC Investor Complaint Portal. Mention that HappyNest is freezing redemptions under the guise of "SEC issues" while blocking communication.Alert the FINRA: If any part of their offering used registered brokers, you can file a tip with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).Submit a State Attorney General Complaint: File a fraud report with your specific state’s Attorney General office, as well as the Maryland Attorney General (where HappyNest REIT, Inc. is corporately registered).Log a BBB Grievance: Even though the company isn't responding, adding your story to the HappyNest BBB Complaints Page builds the public ledger that class-action lawyers and federal prosecutors look at when building a case.

Thieves
Been trying to withdraw my money for YEARS. All they do is email and tell you nothing can be done & they are in legal talks. Now the app doesn’t even work/open. Pretty sure they just stole everyone’s money & shut down their app at this point. Class action coming
Can’t redeem my money back
Have been waiting on my redemption request since late 2024.
I want my damn money
Requested to cash out my funds. Now the app won’t open and I never got my money!
Thank they have stole my 450$ no response from anyone in last 6 months
So for 14.5 months I have not been able to deposit any money into this account I’m told that they are trying to get some sort of SEC agreement or something like that I don’t understand why they would even start this application if they was not able to keep in terms with the SEC
Total scam
Hey hold your money hostage and I can’t even access my account anymore. I don’t understand why this app is still available to download when so many people were scammed.
Scam
Tried to withdraw and close account. I received some bs info about withdrawals now I can't even access my account. Now I have to seek legal action!
Looks like they folded - good luck getting anything now.
Worst scam I ever found. Locked up my money and then everything shutdown including website and app. Let me know if a lawsuit opens up...

Scam! Money locked for years
I’ve had a HappyNest account since 2022-2023 and invested about $15. Periodically, I would check the account to see if there was any growth. HappyNest paused accepting new investments a few years back and stated that we should wait while they’re working on changes. Also, there wasn’t an option to withdrawal those funds so I decided to stick with it. It’s now June 2026, and the app no longer works. I cannot visit the HappyNest website. I don’t see a place I can contact to get my investment back either. I’m just happy I didn’t invest more money and got it lost. I believe this app was a scam. It’s a shame things had to come to this. HappyNest had a very nice UI and I wanted to believe in their real estate investment strategy.

Scam
The app keeps saying “server error try again later” and support page is down in the App Store.
Seeking legal action
It has been several years since I made my initial deposit, dividends were paused, nearly 2+ years ago. On top of that, I’m unable to withdraw my money from my portfolio and any attempt to reach out to support has been null - they stop responding after the first email. I seriously have no idea why Apple will continues to allow such a shady and most likely fraudulent investment company to remain listed. Give me my money back.

The worst decision I ever made
All garbage
FRAUDULENT
They are holding my money and I cannot get it. The app no longer works, no one has responded to emails. The BBB and SEC are now involved
Scam
They essentially have stolen my money
App and Company Are Frauds
The app is now not working at all. The company has not and will not reply to emails and haven’t after a year and me and many others have been left out to dry without redemptions and/or continued investments. It’s been over a year since a requested a redemption/close my account with them…and I haven’t heard a things since Oct 25.

Stay away
2 years with no dividends, unable to withdraw. How is this legal?
This shouldn’t be a app
It’s been over a year since this app allowed new deposits, stopped paying dividends. Just holding our money at this point. It’s bound to be a class action sooner or later.
Update it’s been 4 years and still haven’t gotten my money back. Scam confirmed.

Absolutely terrible!
I am leaving this review to document my experience with HappyNest and to caution other consumers. I have had only limited access to my account and funds, and despite submitting a redemption request approximately 24 months ago, I still have not received the requested funds. This delay is unreasonable and, in my view, deeply concerning.
Compounding the issue, customer service has ceased responding to my attempts to obtain clarification or resolution. The lack of communication, transparency, and timely processing has left me with little confidence in the company’s handling of customer accounts and redemption requests.
Based on my experience, I cannot recommend the use of this app. Consumers should exercise extreme caution before entrusting funds to this platform. In situations involving suspected scams or suspicious business conduct, the Better Business Bureau recommends reporting the matter to the Federal Trade Commission through ReportFraud.ftc.gov. I have written to the Better Business Bureau & the Federal Trade Commission.
