Fundrise Reviews 567

Fundrise delivered an opportunity for me to invest in future small private companies. A very easy to understand investment strategy platform. The recent opportunity to invest directly in the upcoming IPO (VCX) is exciting and the Innovation Fund is only one of many of my diverse positions. I’m really excited to see how VCX will perform.
IMO get in now!

Th ease of investing in the real estate industry

Been investing monthly for about a year. Absolutely love the returns I’ve gotten, and the ease of options makes it a great DCA option.

Amazing returns. Been in for 10 months. Hoping in 5 years this is my retirement next egg.

Found Fundrise initially through a book. Signed up, put a bunch of money in, and told my friends. Through appreciation of assets and referral programs I am up about 100% over the past 6 months. Dead serious, though I did have to refer quite a few people. Now my base is even larger and their innovation fund shows no signs of slowing down, especially with 3-4 of their major assets looking to IPO this year and their fund now being listed on the NYSE. Great things coming for Fundrise!

Quick access through the app.
Clear communication
Abundance of information

Offering a chance to invest in worthwhile investments and having visions for future growth.

It's being surprisingly easy to invest and the investments have been doing awesome, no complaints 👌

Customer service was fast and accurate

Easy to use investing app that allows investing in markets not readily available elsewhere. So far good returns but never guaranteed as expected.

Company led by great management team that know how to vet deals and are a little cynical when investing (good thing because it promotes playing good defense!).

I originally invested when they were investing in upgrading properties in and around DC. Then the investing became so aggressive I could not evaluate the offering. About the same time FundRise elected to move to REIT format and I moved on. But recently I have come back and decided to participate in the IPO.

I have invested in Fundrise for only 10 months. My money has increased 32%. What's not to like?

Fundrise has been honest, truthful, open and rewarding. Investments have performed well and much like predicted and offered.

Do not invest your money with them, They will not give it back if you need it. Do not consider it liquid as they do everything in their power to not let you withdraw YOUR money.
I’m fighting them now to retrieve MY money as I just lost my company of 17 years and am going through a bankruptcy.
Again, steer clear of this investment platform!

Fundrise is a legitimate company, not a scam. But after 4 years of parking thousands of dollars with the company, my net return is -0.3%. So literally I would have been better putting cash in my mattress or leaving it in my 0% interest checking account. I did a comparison, and my returns with a traditional REIT would have been almost 26%. I'm dumbfounded that a company with such slick marketing and such lofty rhetoric could underperform so wildly. The worst part is that now that I've finally decided to close my account and redeem my cash, they estimate I'll lose another 10% in order to redeem. By the way, this redemption will happen in more than 90 days, and they're just going to keep my money until then. So my $5,000 investment will be more like $4,400 after 4.5 full years. I 1,000% would not recommend investing with them. Just put your money in a traditional REIT instead.

I asked to close and liquidate my fund and they only returned half of my money, stating that that they were restructuring the accounts..the same excuse they gave for the delay giving me part of my funds in the first place. My funds were all in the same account.. so no excuse for not returning all of it. So now it's been 6 months, they are still giving the same excuse..they apparently believe that once they have my money it's theirs. They are blaming it on some agency that won't allow them to return it until the settlement date, which of course they will not share with me. My advice..DO NOT GIVE THEM A CENT.

great plat form can wait to use

Their customer service representatives are always very knowledgeable and professional. Their website Help Center is also very user friendly.

I’m sharing my experience after 4 years with Fundrise. I invested $5,000 in October 2021, and as of October 2025, my account shows about a $200 loss. During the same time, the S&P 500 grew by more than 30%.

The withdrawal process is also not smooth — I requested a withdrawal a month ago, received $4,600, and still have about $300 left with no clear way to withdraw it.

Maybe I invested at the wrong time, but overall, it doesn’t feel worth it. In my opinion, investing directly in the S&P 500 index fund would have been a much better and simpler choice.
