Best of luck with those crowdfunding investments.. Admire your positive spirit. How much leverage do they usually put on these properties to achieve high IRR's since cap rates are quite low these days?? We aren't at the end of this RE cycle but time to be more defensive with the easy money made a decade ago. Would be most cautious with areas that are most overbuilt this cycle such as Class A apartments.. Amazon effect on segments of retail plus bloated inventory levels high end single family most everywhere in the country often well over 1 year of inventory are signs of caution to me. But like you say be conservative have the tenants pay off your mortgage quickly then you have total control. Sounds like you have already controlled your future congratulations..

Interesting Letter From Fundrise to Fundrise Investors: .............................................................................................................................................................. Dear Black Blade, At Fundrise, our goal is to provide you with superior performance by combining our low cost, efficient technology platform with high quality real estate investments. However, it is important to remember that performance comes with some trade–offs, namely liquidity. And, while our aim under normal market conditions is to provide liquidity for investors through our redemption program, we believe it’s critical for all our investors to understand not only how, but also why that liquidity is unlikely to be available during a sudden downturn. So I am sharing with you an article that we send to every investor on the platform titled “What you should expect from us during the next financial crisis”. Ultimately, Fundrise investments are meant for investors who have a long–term outlook and are able to manage potential periods of tight liquidity without having to redeem. And though a financial crisis isn’t pleasant to think about — with the right preparation and understanding, it can reveal its own unexpected opportunities to come out ahead. We ask that you please take a moment to read the note and as always provide us with any feedback you may have. Best Regards, Ben Miller Co-Founder & CEO investments@fundrise.com BLACK BLADE: As I expected but many don't realize that FUNDRISE is an equity REIT with funds capped for bundled real estate projects (Stablized, Renovations and New Construction). Still holding and investing.
