To be eligible to invest with Fundrise, individuals must meet several criteria: they must be at least 18 years old, have permanent residency in the United States, possess a valid U.S. tax ID, and file taxes in the U.S. The platform is open to both accredited and non-accredited investors.
Fundhomes' vacation rental properties face real estate market volatility, with valuations influenced by economic shifts, interest rates, and regulatory changes.
Assets on the Fundrise platform, such as private real estate and venture capital, typically show lower volatility compared to public stocks and bonds, due to less frequent valuation updates and reduced exposure to daily market swings.
Fundhomes utilizes Regulation A for public offerings, enabling investors to buy shares in Series LLCs that each own a vacation rental property. This approach grants investors partial ownership in a property, with all details outlined in SEC-filed offering circulars.
Fundrise is regulated by the SEC and must comply with strict reporting, disclosure, and operational standards. It undergoes regular independent audits to verify financial accuracy, legal compliance, and the effectiveness of its internal controls, ensuring transparency and integrity in its operations for investor protection.
Fundhomes insures its properties against physical damage, but this doesn't cover market risks or regulatory changes affecting property values. Insurance limits may also not match property market values.
Investments on Fundrise, including real estate and alternative assets, are not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency, exposing investors to the risk of loss without insurance protection.
Investors in Fundhomes receive quarterly dividends derived from the net rental income of vacation rental properties, after deducting operational expenses. These dividends reflect a portion of the property's profitability but are not guaranteed and can fluctuate based on occupancy rates and market conditions.
Dividends are paid quarterly, based on income from portfolio projects, and can be either reinvested or cashed out. Appreciation comes from increases in the value of the investment, reflected in the net asset value (NAV) of shares. Returns start accruing after investment settlement, typically within 5 business days, and can be tracked on the Investor Dashboard.
Investors in Fundhomes can receive their investment back when the property is sold, usually within 5-10 years, or by selling their shares earlier on a secondary market, depending on demand.
To withdraw funds from Fundrise, investors must submit a liquidation request. Liquidations are reviewed quarterly for most funds, with a waiting period for the eFund. No penalty is charged for liquidating shares from the Flagship, Income, or Innovation Funds, but eREIT and eFund shares held for less than five years may incur a penalty. Liquidations are processed on a "First in, first out" basis.
Fundhomes earns through fees for property and asset management. This includes handling vacation rental operations like maintenance and guest services, as well as overseeing investment strategies and performance.
Fundrise charges a 0.15% annual advisory fee, a 0.85% management fee for real estate funds, and a 1.85% management fee for the Innovation Fund. Early liquidation of eREIT or eFund shares before 5 years incurs a 1% penalty.
Fundhomes provides K-1 Tax Forms for each investment property, detailing investors' share of income, deductions, and credits. Typically, these forms are issued by March 15th each year, with an IRS extension deadline of September 15th if needed.
Fundrise investors can expect Form 1099-DIV for eREITs or interval funds with distributions over $10, Schedule K-1 for eFund shares, and Form 1099-B for liquidated shares. Tax documents are issued at the end of January for 1099-DIVs and mid-March for K-1s, available on the investor dashboard. Multiple funds in a portfolio may result in receiving multiple tax forms.
