Hands off but illiquid

Dashboard clarity and updates are great for a busy person. Liquidity windows are limited, which I accepted going in. I like the diversification with minimal effort.

Onboarding was a breeze

Signed up with $10 and the app laid out my real estate funds cleanly. The interface and auto-invest setup were intuitive, so getting started took minutes.

I really appreciate the idea behind Fundrise

I really appreciate the idea behind Fundrise – the ability to invest in real estate and other alternatives with lower amounts than what was previously available to regular investors. The platform is easy to navigate, and the return details are clear and easy to understand.

The company could do a better job of showing

The company could do a better job of showing exactly what my rate of return is. They provide a lot of charts and visuals, which is okay, but I’d prefer to easily find the annualized return to compare with other investments. It would also be helpful to know why the estimated share price is lower than what I paid for it... are there fees? Is it a loss of capital or just a drop in real estate value? Once again, I have to search around for answers.

I enjoy the changes they've made lately.

I enjoy the changes they've made lately. The app feels more helpful and easier to use. There's a lot of information about each investment choice, but that's actually good; they are being clear.

Be careful with fees and sale limits.

Be careful with fees and sale limits. Your funds will be tied up for 5 years, including any dividends automatically reinvested during that time (unless you turn that off). The lack of liquidity, high fees, and average performance don't seem to work well together.

Fundrise provides clear quarterly investor

Fundrise provides clear quarterly investor updates that break down the economic influences on real estate and the reasoning behind their decisions. This gives us a sense of being involved rather than merely watching from the sidelines.
