Frequently Asked Questions

What is real estate crowdfunding?

Real estate crowdfunding allows multiple investors to pool money together to invest in properties or real estate projects. Through online platforms, you can invest in residential homes, commercial buildings, or REITs with much lower minimums than traditional real estate investing, often starting from just $10-$100.

Do I need to be an accredited investor?

No! Many real estate crowdfunding platforms like Fundrise, Arrived, and Ark7 are available to non-accredited investors. However, some commercial real estate platforms like CrowdStreet require accredited investor status. Check each platform's requirements before investing.

What are the typical returns on real estate crowdfunding?

Real estate crowdfunding platforms typically target 8-12% annual returns, though this varies by platform and investment type. Fundrise has delivered a 10.4% average annual return from 2017-2022. Returns come from rental income (dividends) and property appreciation.

Can I invest in real estate crowdfunding with my IRA?

Yes, some platforms like Fundrise offer IRA-eligible investments, allowing you to invest in real estate through your retirement account tax-free. This is a great way to diversify your retirement portfolio beyond stocks and bonds.

How liquid are real estate crowdfunding investments?

Most real estate crowdfunding investments are illiquid with recommended hold periods of 5-7 years. However, some platforms offer limited liquidity options: Fundrise has quarterly redemption windows, Ark7 offers a secondary market, and Masterworks has a secondary trading platform.

What are the fees for real estate crowdfunding platforms?

Typical fees range from 0.5% to 2% annually, plus property management fees. Fundrise charges 1% total (0.15% advisory + 0.85% asset management). Arrived and Ark7 charge around 1% annually. Always review the fee structure before investing.
