Real estate investing for real people

Investing with Fundrise is similar to buying stocks, only instead of funding a company, your investment goes towards buying real estate through real estate investment trusts (REITs).

You’ll have a diverse portfolio of assets that would usually only be available to major real estate players, and receive payouts through quarterly dividend distributions.

From 2017 to 2021, Fundrise’s clients averaged 7.31% to 22.99% in annual returns, so you’re in good hands with their team of professionals.

After you place your first investment, Fundrise will work to find and add new assets to your portfolio over time.

This means no additional work is required on your end to ensure your portfolio’s diversity, so you can sit back and enjoy the returns without being responsible for fixing tenants’ faulty appliances.

Stop overpaying for home insurance

Home insurance is an essential expense – one that can often be pricey. You can lower your monthly recurring expenses by finding a more economical alternative for home insurance.

SmartFinancial can help you do just that. SmartFinancial’s online marketplace of vetted home insurance providers allows you to quickly shop around for rates from the country’s top insurance companies, and ensure you’re paying the lowest price possible for your home insurance.

Cut down on fees, boost your earnings

Thanks to their in-house experts and cutting-edge technology, Fundrise is able to maximize your returns while keeping your fees low.

There are no transaction fees, sales commissions, or additional fees for enabling features on your account. Investors pay a 0.15% annual investment advisory fee and a 0.85% annual asset management fee, which works out to $10 for every $1,000 you invest each year.

Even better, you can get $10 in shares when you invest with Fundrise using our special invite link.
