Fundrise
Launched in 2012, Fundrise was founded by Ben and Dan Miller with the hopes that the average Joe would have the opportunity to invest in the same real estate projects as corporate institutions.
"The idea behind Fundrise is straightforward. Technology allows us to dramatically reduce costs and provide our investors with better returns, while allowing us to cast a much wider net,” says Fundrise CEO Ben Miller. “We are able to find the needles in the haystack that others can't because of the sheer volume of opportunities we see."
The Fundrise online marketplace allows investors to pick different real estate projects to invest in for as little as $5,000. Each week Fundrise receives over 250 new deal proposals, but only 5% of those actually meet its rigorous approval standards. Fundrise offers a diverse selection of potential investments: investors can invest in a single family home project, a multi-family condominiumbuilding or even a mixed-use manufacturing building. The platform pre-funds all deals upfront so investors start accruing interest as soon as their investment settles.
Prodigy Network
Founded in 2003 by Rodrigo Niño, Prodigy Network connects accredited investors with Manhattan commercial real estate through a secure online platform. Prodigy offers investment options in most major cities for multi-family, office, retail and hospitality properties. The platform gives investors the opportunity to invest as little as $10,000 in a project; however; the total portfolio must consist of $20,000 in assets. As an investor, you will receive frequent project updates and financial statements to keep investors informed of the current state of their holdings.
Prodigy goes through an extensive six-point vetting process for each investment. The company only partners with experienced developers that have a track record of success, invests in properties in locations with high growth potential, offers investments in major markets with solid fundamentals to avoid potential bubbles and invests in projects that will improve neighborhoods, eventually boosting the properties’ overall value. In addition, all investments are run through a bank account controlled by a third party and investors will have access to the company’s equity partners and favorable lender terms.
Realty Mogul
Realty Mogul was founded in 2013 with the purpose of making it easier for individuals to invest in real estate. Since its launch, the platform has raised $10.1 million in funding. To date, Realty Mogul has over 15,000 active users, with a total of $70 million in investments across more than 240 properties. One of the platform’s most well-known crowdfunding campaigns is a $1.5 million stake, or 15% share, in the Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs. This was the first crowdfunded hotel deal.
Like the other platforms, Realty Mogul gives investors access to a wide range of property types, ranging from multi-family and retail to medical office and hospitality. The investment period can last six to twelve months, and investors start earning a return within a few weeks of the period.
RealtyShares >>>As of 11/07/2018 RealtyShares closed its doors<<<
The goal of RealtyShares is the same as most other real estate crowdfunding platforms: provide quality real estate investments to accredited investors. The platform is hoping to bridge the gap between project sponsors and the developers behind each project.
Once an investment is 100% funded, it usually takes two to three weeks for the property to close and the investors to start accruing a return on their investment. Returns for different investments can vary, but RealtyShares CEO Nav Athwal says that it can be anywhere from 8% all the way up to 20%. Investors can choose to invest in several different types of properties, including residential, commercial, retail and mixed-use.
In April, the company announced a $10 million Series A round of funding, which will help it to increase its number of underwriters and build out the number of available properties available to investors.

EquityMultiple is a real estate investing platform backed by a national commercial real estate capital services firm - Mission Capital. They offer debt, preferred equity, and high-upside equity investment opportunities to doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, and other accredited individuals who are looking to build stronger real estate portfolios.
CrowdStreet
CrowdStreet is a direct-to-investor marketplace, which means you are investing directly with the Sponsor.
Crowdstreet sources deals from third party sponsors, and then makes them available on it's site. So it does not originate its own deals, and instead functions like a crowdfunding version of Craigslist. Some other platforms with this model charge investors a fee, but Crowdstreet doesn't . (It makes its money by charging the sponsor). Note that the investor still has to pay fees and compensation charged by the third-party sponsor, which vary from deal to deal.
Crowdstreet allows the investor to interact directly with sponsor, rather than putting itself in between all communication like Realty Shares. This lets the investor conduct due diligence directly, which is much faster (and also avoids potential misinterpretation by the middleman). And if something goes wrong, the investor can go direct to the Sponsor to resolve it.
FundThatFlip
FundThatFlip specializes in residential debt investments(also called fix-and-flip loans or hard money loans), along with a smaller amount of multifamily and commercial debt. They have lower loan to values of most platforms(lower values have less risk than higher). They also have good transparency and a low default rate.
1031CrowdFunding
1031Crowdfunding specializes in commercial real estate (CRE) equity investments which qualify for 1031 exchanges. These exchanges are for people who own existing real estate, and want to sell them without being taxed. It offers single property investments and multi-property funds. Good volume and and growing in the last years.
ArborCrowd
ArborCrowd is a newcomer to the rankings that specializes in multifamily (apartment) commercial real estate (CRE) deals. It offers both single property and multiple property funds, and to date has done all equity deals.They have a great number of industry-leading features including: ultrahigh skin in the game(and 51% when looking at both the sponsor and the ArborCrowd affiliate), industry-leading due diligence documents and the only equity site that does pre-funding. The Arbor family of companies include Arbor Realty Trust, which is a New York Stock Exchange traded commercial mortgage REIT.
RoofStock
Roofstock specializes in residential real estate equity. It is not a typically crowdfunding site, because you purchase the entire house on your own (rather than sharing the investment with others). However, they do use crowdfunding regulations to make their investments public, and we got substantial feedback from investors on them. Roofstock has a very substantial $70 million in venture capital funding, and boast one of the lowest fees in the industry at .05%. Larger volume. However, since you own the whole house yourself, this requires a larger minimum investment than most sites. We saw a few older investments with $55,000 minimums. The majority were between $80,000 and $120,000. You can lessen the minimum by taking out a loan on the house, which reduces the minimum to around $20,000 ($15,000 investment in property plus $5000 reserve for repairs etc). This has the additional dual sided effect of increasing your return if things work out, or increasing your risk and potential for loss if they don't. Yields we saw were somewhat mediocre (10-12% gross yield, meaning that none of the hefty expenses were deducted). Based on a 60% expense+ capital expenditure reserve rule of thumb, we might expect a 4-6% return.
RichUncles
Rich Uncles is a investing platform that sponsors three public non-traded real estate investment trusts (REITs). You don't need to be accredited to invest, and you can get in with a low minimum investment. However, this is a long-term investment, which might not please traders who want quick returns or exit.
