I’m considering added some real estate to my portfolio but I don’t want to physically own the property.

Does anyone have any expierence with Fundrise?

I used fundrise for 2 years and I actually really like them!!! I had to withdraw contributions for medical reasons but now that I’m good I will be reinvesting with them this week.

I don’t invest with Fundrise but I do invest passively (actively too) in real estate through syndications. From my quick research, fundrise charges a 0.15% advisory fee + 0.85% fee for the real estate investments themselves, which is effectively a 1.0% AUM fee.

Syndications don’t charge you to invest in them. There are no fees. And many of them pass on their passive losses to you on K-1s, which reduces your future income from your investment making real estate syndications a very tax-efficient vehicle for investing. I would recommend learning more about syndications before you go with one of these other types of investment companies. Good luck! Definitely love real estate and the potential returns + tax benefits.

Given the recent Peer Street bankruptcy and the problems with BREIT limiting withdrawals, I would stay away from all crowd-funding real estate platforms and private reits right now. There may be systemic problems and a lot of them are being hidden by the failure to mark down distressed assets.

You’d be a lot safer with public reits.

I have used it for a while and like it. It’s pretty straight forward.

Hey, not what you asked, but there are also other options, including REITs. We’ve got a local company that works with investors on corporate rentals and they do direct work where they manage and operate for an owner but they also have a program where an affiliated company owns the real estate and investors in that company/trust receive high double digit dividend-style returns.

You could also be a private lender and loan money to other investors/flippers. Probably more options, too!

Explore these too: Should I diversify my investments in real estate or a business for different assets and cash flow?

We are passively investing in long and medium term rentals. We also have a few flips under contract.

I need to get a meeting on the books to discuss what a self directed IRA looks like.

I have some colleagues that are passively investing in some multifamily deals in Florida that I want to fund.
