Fundrise

Fundrise uses technology to enable individual investors to invest with low fees and low minimums into a diversified portfolio of private real estate projects, with the goal of allowing anyone access to real estate’s historically consistent and exceptional returns. The portfolios offer both debt and equity investments. Fundrise identifies, acquires, and manages these projects on the behalf of its investors. The projects can generate returns for investors in two ways: dividends and appreciation.

Fundrise portfolios contain both residential and commercial real estate deals, including single-family and multi-family rental properties, for-sale housing, hotels, retail space, and office buildings. A minimum investment of at least $500 is required, but can be made by any US citizen over the age of 18. International investors are not able to use Fundrise at this time. The company was founded in 2010.
