fundrise
It's been a year since I put money into this. I logged in today to see how it's done and I gained 2.4% in dividends and just over 20% in appreciation. Several people have asked about this fund so I figured I'd do a yearly update.

Re: fundrise
That is incredible. I have read a lot about Fundrise but have not invested. One Boglehead, Nate79, has experience with them and appears happy.investuntilimrich wrote: ↑Sat Jan 08, 2022 6:46 am It's been a year since I put money into this.

What fund did you invest in or which platform?
Best.

Re: fundrise
Thanks for posting. How is this treated from a tax perspective? Is it similar to a REIT? Any information about how this compares to a typical experience or past years? I know in my area 20% appreciation of real estate wouldn't have been hard to hit last year.

Re: fundrise
As mentioned above you can search on BH for my posts on reviews. I think I posted this previously but my 2020 return was 7.7% and 2021 was 27.3% (these are with regular monthly contributions so it is not like lump sum investment return). I'm in the aggressive growth portfolio with 14 different REIT funds. You get 1099's (available now) and K-1 (available mid March). I don't use Turbotax but it says they can import directly the forms. I currently have 9 1099's to enter and it will be a small few # of K-1's once they arrive. I use Freetaxusa and just enter the information, not that difficult.

Re: fundrise
From what I was able to understand and gather reading a lot of their information, the investments with Fundrise are REITs. They would be considered public non-traded REITs. That is, there is no secondary market (stock exchange) in which to actively trade.
This is more direct ownership in real estate. Essentially one buys into the e-REITs who own the physical properties. Compared to buying shares in Vanguard REIT, which buys shares in public REIT companies, which the public REIT companies buy the buildings.
Best.

I use Free Tax USA as well and filing is very easy. No cost for Federal and state is a nominal amount.

Re: fundrise
I've been considering Fundrise, but one thing I can't figure out is this: can you invest only in the projects of your choosing? Or can you be fairly granular in your project preferences? For instance, if I wanted to stick with only residential projects and not invest in commercial, is that possible?
Re: fundrise
No. You cannot invest in projects of your choosing. Your first contribution may get default invested into the interval fund and possibly something else (not waiting in cash for you to choose). You can invest in the fund(s) of your choosing once you have a certain account level. Each fund has certain projects, you invest in all of a fund's projects.
Check fundrise/offerings to review the funds.
ETA:. With the primary strategy at Fundrise being build to rent, it would be pretty easy to be 95% residential.

Re: fundrise
Yes and no. They started as a firm with syndication deals. I believe that has declined in volume in terms of offerings if at all. However, their e-REITs are largely residential homes, apartments, and some small office & industrial. Appears to be majority residential and apartments.Gecko10x wrote: ↑Tue Apr 19, 2022 5:05 pm I've been considering Fundrise, but one thing I can't figure out is this: can you invest only in the projects of your choosing?

Hopefully that helps.

Re: fundrise
The returns sound interesting, but then I compared it to my personal boring three fund portfolio at Vanguard. The three fund generally does better.
And this doesn't look spectacular.
