I save a little money on my Fundrise account if you use my link. Fundrise is an EREIT. EREIT is an equity real estate investment trust. I have been investing in Fundrise for a couple of months. I am making a little under 10%. Fundrise expects around 8% returns.
The minimum starting investment is $500. This is a good starting amount. Once you are invested in Fundrise you can sell your investment in under 90 days. Once you pass 90 days but up to 3 years you will be charged 3% to sell; from 3 to 4 years the charge is 2%; and from 4 to 5 years the selling charge is 1%. After 5 years there is no charge for selling. Also IMPORTANT: You may not be able to sell your Fundrise account immediately. Fundrise will not break other investments to cash you out. This means if there is a big stock market crash, investors won’t pull their funds out immediately. If you want to add any additional money to your investment later, the minimum is $100.
Some negatives: There are 3 plans I got to choose from. There may be fewer offerings, depending on your initial investment amount. I got to choose from Supplemental Income, Balanced, or Long-Term Growth. You are not able to choose manually which EREITS you buy. You just get a list of percentages of where you money is going when you purchase.
I like the interface of Fundrise, even though it’s a little limited. I like the sell rules. I suggest adding it to your alternative investment ideas.
