Fundrise offers access to sophisticated private market strategies focused on generating consistent income and long-term growth across real estate private equity, venture capital, and private credit.Real estate — Fundrise is one of the 50 largest real estate private equity investors in the world by total annual deployment — deploying more than $1 billion of capital annually in 2021 and 2022. Our portfolio is largely composed of 20,000+ well-located residential units and eCommerce-centric industrial assets.Venture — Investing in high-growth private technology companies has proven to be one of the best-performing strategies of the last 50 years. Our growth equity fund targets mid-to-late-stage companies in sectors like Modern Data Infrastructure, FinTech, and AI/ML.Private credit — Skyrocketing interest rates have created broad credit market dislocations and a potential liquidity crisis. The result is arguably the most attractive, risk-adjusted private credit investing opportunity of the last few decades.Building a better financial systemWhen our co-founders launched Fundrise back in 2012, our mission was to use technology to build a better financial system for investors like you. A lot has changed since then. Over 2 million people now use Fundrise and we manage nearly $3 billion in equity across real estate, private credit, and venture capital. It’s hard to believe how far we’ve come. But our mission remains the same. It’s what drives us to continue eliminating barriers, developing new investments, and working tirelessly to make this the best investing experience you’ve ever had. Thank you for joining us on this journey.

Smart enough to read reviews and STAY AWAY! When returns are implied to be high, but users do not get that, it is common for advisors to say, it’s a long term investment! That delays the taking of money out until worse can occur!

They say you can take out your money after 5 years without penalty, what they don't tell you is it's still not liquid, even if your funds are 5 years old when you try to withdraw they will still schedule your redemption for 30 days + the end of the quarter following that. That was NOT transparent, if they say you can redeem after 5 years no penalty then they need to give the option to withdraw IMMEDIATELY - the account should be considered fully liquid on that date. My personal rate of return isn't as bad as some people report here. They fed me 7 investments when I started. 2 of them didn't change value or give dividends (actually, my reports show they lost 2-3 percent) so I sold those after 2 years and purchased 2 others, thinking that it would count as some sort of transfer. Well guess what it did not - they penalized those 2 as a withdrawal. Fortunately, overall my annual returns have averaged 9.9 % according to their calculations, which I guess I don't trust completely, but don't feel like attempting to verify. There is no phone number anywhere on their website, though legally they have to have a contact number.

UPDATING MY REVIEW: I have completed 5 years with Fundrise, the funds seem to be going nowhere. I have actually lost about 2K probably due to market conditions. My dividents were coming in every quarter and they were measly $200. I had 50K all together and recently decided to liquidate and redeem my investment. They take about 3 months to approve and with all said and done I have barely made 5% returns. What got me to sign up with them in the first place is the hype about the high returns. Fundrise was claiming ROI of 11% - 18% that is what sold me to invest with them. I waited 5 yrs, locked up my money with them where they were able to use it and buy properties, they will reap the appreciation and all I got was 5% which I could have done by putting my money in a CD. Not worth it, I do not recommend them anymore specially that the Real Estate market has seen its highs for a while. I write this updated review April 15, 2023. Initial reviews on July 8, 2020 Super happy with Fundrise, been with them for 3 years, I see my money growing every day. I get detailed reports as to where they are investing along with pictures and further information with graphs and charts. Fundrise is one of the best investment decisions I've made.

I'm reasonably happy with my basic Fundrise account (although I haven't tried withdrawing funds yet, which might change my mind). But BEWARE of doing an IRA through Fundrise and their partner Millenium Trust. MT charges a flat $125 asset fee on these Fundrise IRA accounts, which is a proportionally huge fee if you only have a small IRA balance (and you'll still be paying Fundrise's account management fees on top.of that). By the time I was billed for the $125 flat fee it was too late to liquidate my account, and now I'm stuck paying it, thereby wiping out most or all of the potential annual earnings on my IRA and also having my money tied up by Fundrise's liquidation policies. So unless you plan to open a large IRA account in the six figures this fee is a total rip-off. Look elsewhere for good IRA investments.

Whatever you do, don't ask them to update your legal name. Might as well wait until your ready to close your account. I am now into the process for over 7 weeks. During this time you cannot invest or receive dividend reinvestment. Other firms you submit your documentation and your done within a week, not so here. Emailing support just tells me it takes time.
