Fundrise Review: Is this really the easiest way to invest in real estate? - YouTube
Channel: REtipster
[0]
hey guys what's up this is Seth from Ari
[1]
tipster blog and in this video I want to
[3]
talk to you about a real estate
[5]
crowdfunding platform called fund rise
[8]
and fund rise is a company that I had
[11]
heard about for a couple years now but
[13]
it wasn't until just recently that I
[15]
really got familiar with how they work
[18]
and what makes them unique to the world
[20]
of real estate crowdfunding platforms
[23]
now the cool thing about the whole
[24]
concept of real estate crowdfunding is
[27]
that it allows really a lot of different
[30]
types of people to get involved with
[32]
real estate investing so no longer do
[35]
you have to run a full-blown real estate
[37]
business you don't have to be a house
[39]
flipper or a landlord or any of that
[41]
stuff if you got extra money and you
[43]
want to diversify your investments or
[45]
your retirement savings you can
[47]
literally just find a property that you
[49]
want to invest in and put those dollars
[52]
into that property through one of these
[53]
sites but the unique thing about
[55]
fundrise is that you don't necessarily
[58]
invest your dollars into one specific
[60]
property instead they have these pools
[63]
of property where you can invest as
[65]
little as $1,000 and up the way it works
[68]
is you have to buy a hundred shares and
[71]
the shares cost $10 a share because
[73]
you're investing in this pool of
[74]
properties and not a single location
[76]
it's kind of a good way to make sure
[78]
your funds are well diversified among
[80]
several different options rather than
[83]
just rising and falling based on how one
[85]
property does another notable thing
[87]
about fund rise is that a lot of the
[89]
other crowdfunding companies out there
[91]
require you to be an accredited investor
[94]
which basically means you already have
[96]
to have a really good income or really
[98]
high net worth even to be allowed in
[101]
their system and look at the investments
[102]
for example you might have to have a net
[105]
worth of a million dollars or an annual
[107]
income of at least $250,000 so right off
[111]
the bat that kind of keeps a lot of
[113]
people out of those websites because you
[116]
know a lot of average people out there
[118]
just don't fall into those categories
[119]
but with funder eyes you don't have to
[121]
fall into any of those categories
[122]
literally anybody can get into their
[125]
site and all they need is a minimum of
[127]
$1,000 to plug into an investment and
[130]
get started so it's just a lot more
[131]
easily
[132]
accessible to lots of people whereas one
[134]
of these other crowdfunding websites
[136]
there's still great options but it's
[138]
just a little bit harder for the average
[139]
person to get involved with those so if
[142]
you're somebody who wants to get into
[143]
the real estate investing game or maybe
[145]
you're just looking for a different type
[147]
of real estate investing option that
[148]
doesn't require all the hands-on effort
[151]
and work and attention to detail funder
[153]
eyes could be a great option in the next
[155]
few minutes I'm just going to show you
[156]
how to get into the website create your
[158]
own account check out some of the
[160]
options they have available and how you
[161]
can get started investing money in real
[163]
estate
[164]
follow along I'll say what it's all
[165]
about ok so once you get to the fundrise
[168]
website you're going to see a page that
[169]
looks something like this and all you
[171]
have to do if you want to get started is
[173]
just go ahead and enter in your email
[174]
address so I'll go ahead and do that
[176]
right here click get started and then at
[183]
this point you're going to get an
[184]
automatic email in your inbox with a
[186]
link that you can click that's going to
[187]
take you right here to this page and
[189]
this is also where you should be landing
[191]
right after you click the submit button
[192]
so either way you'll see a page that
[194]
looks something like this and again
[196]
remember the weight fund rise works is
[198]
when you're investing your money and
[199]
these kind of crowdfunding projects
[201]
you're not investing in any one specific
[203]
property instead you're investing in a
[206]
pool of properties and the fund raised
[208]
has these different funds that are
[210]
geared towards different end goals like
[213]
whether you want income or whether you
[215]
want a growth or whether you want both
[217]
and also depending on where you want
[219]
those properties to be located so for
[221]
example if you wanted to invest in
[223]
properties that are over on the west
[224]
coast or over on the East Coast or sort
[227]
of in the Midwest heartland of the u.s.
[229]
you can do that just by selecting them
[231]
right down here it looks like the
[232]
talents recording a couple views are
[234]
actually sold out so in my case I can
[236]
only choose from these three so if you
[238]
want to learn just a little bit more
[239]
about what these are all about say if I
[241]
took this one and dragged it over here I
[243]
could sort of just get a good user
[244]
friendly overview for what these things
[247]
are all about where they're located what
[249]
the return profile is the time horizon
[251]
how soon I'm going to get my money back
[253]
plus any profits I'm making stuff like
[255]
that but really if you just want a cut
[257]
of a chase and get started I got to do
[259]
is go up here and click sign up and then
[261]
you would just put your information in
[262]
again and actually create a password
[264]
yourself so that you can create your
[266]
fund rise account so I'm going to go
[267]
ahead and do that right now and then I
[269]
will go ahead and click this assuming
[271]
that I actually have reviewed these
[272]
things I'll click that and create my
[274]
fund rise account ok so then at this
[276]
point I'll have to go ahead and verify
[278]
my email address so I'll quit do that
[280]
and this is what it looks like so go
[282]
ahead and click that alrighty so we are
[284]
good to go go ahead and put in country
[286]
of citizenship and residents the US for
[289]
me on both accounts and it looks like we
[292]
have to start by just entering in some
[294]
basic information by ourselves so
[296]
primary address and phone number or bank
[298]
account and a routing number if we want
[300]
to just invest directly from our bank
[301]
accounts and then our social security
[303]
number so let's get started with that so
[306]
as I'm going through this looks like I
[307]
gotta go ahead and review this stuff and
[310]
agree to it I've obviously already been
[312]
through all this stuff but if you
[313]
haven't go ahead and check out make sure
[315]
you understand all the risks associated
[317]
with this kind of investment medium once
[320]
you get it just keep going on and moving
[321]
through the steps go ahead and call
[323]
these as well making sure you fully
[325]
understand what you're agreeing to click
[327]
continue now I'm going to go ahead and
[330]
choose an individual account and let's
[333]
go ahead and put in all these basic
[335]
details and I'm just going to go ahead
[336]
and blur this stuff out for obvious
[339]
privacy reasons and we'll scroll down
[341]
here put in the old social security
[343]
number and then keep in mind if you want
[344]
to you can have your dividends
[347]
automatically reinvested if you want so
[349]
if that's something you want to do go
[350]
ahead and check this then once you've
[352]
read everything and entered in all the
[353]
appropriate information and you're ready
[355]
to go forward just go ahead and click
[356]
continue and in terms of your payment
[359]
method you can either do a wire transfer
[361]
or an ACH and that's what I would think
[364]
would make sense for most people to ACH
[366]
so that's what I'm going to do here and
[368]
then account type there's going to be a
[371]
checking account just go ahead and put
[372]
in your bank information and then once
[374]
you've got that completes go ahead and
[376]
click continue and at the very end here
[379]
you'll have to sign with your mouse go
[382]
ahead and do that it's pretty beautiful
[384]
signature hope you like that and then
[387]
once that's done just go ahead and go to
[388]
continue again and now once you get to
[391]
this point you may be looking at this
[392]
over here this 5,000 bucks that was kind
[395]
of automatically added to your cart
[397]
500 shares at 10 bucks apiece you might
[400]
think you know maybe I don't really want
[402]
to invest that much or maybe I want to
[404]
invest more or maybe I don't necessarily
[407]
want to invest in heartland
[409]
ER EIT but I want to invest in a
[411]
different one or in multiple loans or
[413]
anything like that before you scroll on
[414]
to the bottom and click on place order
[417]
make sure that this is exactly what you
[419]
want so for example let's say we want to
[421]
just start over in empty out our
[423]
shopping cart and do something else all
[425]
we got to do up here is go click on
[426]
browse investments and then it's going
[429]
to take us to this right here where you
[432]
can pick whichever one of these you want
[434]
to work with and as you can see at the
[435]
time it's recording two of these are
[436]
sold out so those aren't available but
[438]
we've got the West Coast Heartland in
[440]
East Coast
[441]
er EIT funds that are available to
[443]
choose from they'll kind of do the same
[445]
general thing they're just in different
[447]
locations throughout the United States
[448]
so I'm going to go and click on the East
[450]
Coast one to view the details and what
[454]
we can do here after we scroll through
[455]
this and we fully understand what this
[458]
is all about and you know where the
[460]
properties are located and whether or
[461]
not this is something we want to be
[462]
involved with right up here to the top
[464]
and click Add to order and the way this
[467]
works is it's automatically going to put
[468]
$5,000 in your little shopping cart but
[471]
you can change this right here you could
[473]
do anywhere up to 50,000 or as low as
[475]
1,000 and it looks like those are sort
[478]
of increments you would have to choose
[479]
so if you just want to like dip your toe
[481]
in the water with a thousand bucks you
[482]
could do that right here and then click
[484]
invest now and at this point I've
[486]
already entered in all my information
[487]
let's just go ahead and do it see what
[490]
happens all right so it says first
[493]
apparently we have to confirm receipt
[494]
and indicate agree with the following
[496]
documents and then we will agree to
[500]
these things again what we move forward
[502]
it's all pretty basic straightforward
[504]
stuff go ahead and click continue it
[507]
looks like we've got it good to these
[508]
steps again luckily all this stuff is
[510]
already in here from the first time so
[512]
just verify that everything is same as
[515]
how we set it up do a little signature
[517]
again click continue and there we go
[521]
this is their final checkup page just
[522]
make sure all the information is
[524]
accurate and correct scroll down to the
[526]
bottom and if it all looks good go ahead
[528]
and click place order
[531]
and then there we go order placed
[533]
successfully let's go ahead and view the
[535]
order in my accounts and there we go it
[538]
just kind of gives us the basic details
[540]
something else that's really nice about
[542]
this website is that it makes it really
[544]
really easy to just track everything and
[546]
see where your investment dollars are
[548]
apps so if we go over here to overview
[550]
we can kind of see zero dollars of
[552]
earnings to date because I literally
[554]
just put it in there hasn't had a chance
[555]
to do anything yet go over here to
[557]
performance again not a lot of activity
[560]
has happened so far in the past 30
[561]
seconds so there's not a lot of
[562]
information show just yet transactions
[565]
we can see our one transaction so far
[567]
updates you know as the quarterly
[570]
dividends come out and that kind of
[571]
thing those kind of updates will most
[573]
likely be here and documents you know
[575]
when there's like tax documentation that
[578]
is applicable to me that kind of
[580]
information would be here and then
[581]
investment documents the things that I
[583]
agreed to before I want to have in place
[585]
this order that stuff is right here so I
[587]
can check that out anytime it's just a
[589]
really you know user-friendly easy to
[591]
follow system that doesn't make it hard
[594]
I mean you literally just put your money
[595]
in and it will report to you what's
[597]
going on fund raisers are really easy to
[599]
use system I've been really impressed
[601]
just with you know how it's not
[602]
difficult at all to figure out how to
[604]
use it it's not rocket science it's just
[606]
a really good option for people who want
[609]
to get into real estate investing but
[610]
they don't want to deal with any of the
[612]
hassles or headaches they just want to
[614]
take the lazy man's approach put the
[616]
money in and let it work for them and of
[618]
course as with any real estate
[619]
investment there's never any guarantee
[621]
that you're going to get a certain
[622]
return or really any return for that
[625]
matter but again if you're okay with
[626]
that kind of risk then this could be a
[629]
great fit for you so hopefully that was
[631]
helpful and hopefully that was somewhat
[633]
informative if you've heard of fund rise
[635]
but just didn't know what it was all
[636]
about or if you've never heard of it
[638]
hopefully you just learned something new
[639]
here that's all again I've got an
[641]
affiliate link to fund rise beneath this
[642]
video I will get a small kickback if you
[645]
sign up for an account through that link
[646]
so if you do thank you very much I
[648]
appreciate that if you don't some no
[650]
problem at all thanks again for watching
[651]
and what are we gonna say to do I wish
[653]
shell the best with your real estate
[654]
investing and hopefully I will see you
[657]
again on the next video
