Very well-designed web and mobile apps, very transparent and forward-thinking in everything they do, steady 10-12% interest on fully managed real estate investments.
Hey Ben, Congrats on the launch!! This looks very cool and it's exciting to see people continue to work on expanding crowdfunding to everyone. This looks similar to what AlphaFlow launched early this year (https://www.producthunt.com/post...
). Is this basically AlphaFlow for retail investors? Keep up the great work and congrats to your entire team!
@vandentweet Thank you! You are correct that we provide diversified real estate investment opportunities to all retail investors (both accredited and non-accredited).
From what I understand, AlphaFlow works differently in two ways: 1. it's only available to accredited, high-net-worth investors and 2. it does not originate or manage its investments.
Essentially, AlphaFlow is an additional layer on top of the investments gathering funds from investors and distributing them to third-party-held investments.
At Fundrise, our model is vertically-integrated. We originate and manage our own investments through an end-to-end integrated approach. We believe that this allows us to operate more efficiently and reduce costs for investors. Our pricing model helps explain this: https://fundrise.com/pricing.
@benmillerise Thanks, Ben! Appreciate the super-quick response and will be watching Fundrise closely. If I have any additional questions, will be in touch.
I’m Ben, Co-Founder and CEO of Fundrise. We founded Fundrise because we felt that there was an opportunity to use technology to create a smarter, more reliable investment system -- especially for the individual investor. We like to say that we’re not just changing how you invest, but what you invest in.
Fundrise is the first ever robo-advisor for real estate. We built Fundrise to simplify and open up the once-unattainable world of direct private real estate to all US investors, regardless of net worth. Until now, the private real estate markets have been largely inaccessible to individual investors. However, by investing in the private markets directly, you can earn higher, more consistent returns than in the public market.
To get started, choose a portfolio strategy aligned with your investing goals and get instant diversification across an array of low-cost and tax-efficient private real estate assets. If you’re not sure which strategy to choose, we can help you decide.
A huge thank you to our advisors, investors, early adopters, and, of course, our team for helping us build a better way to invest.
We hope you find it useful! We’d love to hear what you think and are also happy to field any questions that you have.
@benmillerise Just want to say I have been following Fundrise for the last few years & very impressed with how the business has evolved. Also big shoutout to Chris, you guys have best in class design 🙌 🔥
Very cool. I've been looking for more options (not accredited yet!) and use wealthfront for stocks and got excited about Alphaflow's robo investing for my real estate but i don't qualify to invest there. Can anyone invest? How many deals do I get into with when i put my money with fundrise?
@sean_shafik Hi Sean, thanks for taking a look! Yes, any U.S. resident over 18 can invest.
To your second question, when you invest with Fundrise, you are automatically diversified across an array of real estate assets based upon which investment strategy you choose for your portfolio. We have several strategies to choose from during the signup process depending on your personal investment goals.
Over time as new assets are acquired, the diversification of your portfolio will increase. Once you choose a strategy, new assets will be added to your portfolio automatically when they are acquired.
You can preview your allocation into different real estate assets when you compare portfolio strategies at the bottom of the homepage at https://fundrise.com/.
