Our assets drive your returns. We pair our extensive network and expertise with the collective buying power of our investor community to acquire high-quality assets ranging from debt to equity, commercial to residential, and more. We follow a "value investing" strategy of acquiring assets for less than what we believe is their intrinsic value, and typically less than their replacement cost. Our team then works to increase the value of each asset over time through hands-on management and in partnership with local operators. We've specifically built the Fundrise portfolio with the intention of being able to withstand prolonged periods of economic distress. Nothing can be guaranteed, but because of our conservative approach and extensive underwriting processes, we believe the Fundrise portfolio is, from a risk-adjusted-return standpoint, well positioned to be able to sustain a severe economic downturn.

While historically profitable, the real estate investing industry is notorious for its high advisory fees, hidden management fees, and return-limiting performance fees. Fundrise investors are arguably able to own real property in a more low-cost way than was previously ever possible. We've reduced our costs and your fees to ensure you keep more of what you earn. We did this by designing new software that makes dozens of expensive-but-required processes much cheaper at scale. We also handle virtually every piece of the real estate business in-house. We work directly with real estate developers and operators, handle our own financials, and manage our own deals. Because we've eliminated most intermediaries, we're able to keep our expenses low.
