Fundrise organises crowdfunding for real estate developers and offers investors a way to get started in real estate at a very low entry level. This opens up a very profitable income stream to everyone instead of limiting it to those with greater buying power.

 

Investments start from a minimum of $100, with an estimated return of approximately 12-14%.  You choose the properties you want to invest in and as an investor you will get dividend payment plus  profits from any increase in value in the property.

 

 

Fundrise offers investments between 1-5 years so you can choose how long you want to commit to.  They say they only accept 5% of applications after a strict selection process by real estate experts, so your investment is not going to fund every random developer who applies for funding.

 

Not only can you get a great return on your investment, on a social level, you can help fund and support schemes in your local area.
