“I really enjoy the concept of being able to invest in vacation rentals and being able to earn passive income on a quarterly basis. I think that the overall design of the website is very nice and concise in nature. I think that the portfolio portion of my account could be updated later to include more information. This can include charts and graphs that show by state, type of property, and the relative information that allows one to see the diversification of the portfolio. It also would be nice to have an option to add my social media profile and link it with my account, so that I can share via social media whenever I have made an investment.
The signup process was very simple and straightforward when being compared to other companies that offer fractionalization in order to adhere with the KYC regulations. Whenever, I view the offering section of the website I do not like the white in the background, as possibly another design or color can make the properties stand out. The pictures that are shown of the property is high-resolution, which allows one to look at all the necessary components in order to make an appropriate decision. The information shown in the section titled "Our Thesis" also helps the consumer understand the benefits of the property as to its location and the market in that area; however, I would suggest changing the title to something different (e.g., Market Synopsis) in order to be more attractive to the seasoned investor. I enjoy the market grade that is shown, but perhaps more explanation can be put in a document or FAQ regarding how it is calculated. Lastly, I would prefer the option to invest more if the offering has not closed and I have not reached the 10% limit. It may also be beneficial to do a video walkthrough of the property in order to have more information as well.”
“I absolutely love this concept. I have a second home that I rent as an AirBnb when I am not there and I know how lucrative it can be if rates are set right. I have long been considering purchasing a second AirBnb but the thought of finding the right property, renovating, furnishing, having to find a house manager, dealing with the headache of guests checking in etc etc is really daunting.
Here is the answer I have been looking for. The opportunity to make a smaller investment in multiple vacation homes, to spread the risk, and have someone else do all the work with guest management seems like a dream come true.
I absolutely love this concept, I have invested in the first home and plan to invest in others as soon as they become available. Being able to buy an interest in 10 different homes vs sinking all my money into a single home is very appealing to me.”
“I've already dreamed of owning rental property, however, on a regular wage job and paying monthly rent for where I live saving money for my own home is difficult and saving money for investment property is impossible. Then I discovered "Here" their easy-to-use platform is amazing, and the low entry to purchase of only $100, made it possible for me to have invested in three vacation rental properties in locations I may never be able to afford to visit but with the help of "Here" I can own a slice of; it works just like stocks, but with even more transparency! All the property pictures are right on the website and you can even google the address of the place your investing your money in. Even a NYSE stock doesn't provide that level of tangablity in my opinion, if you want the thrill of real estate ownership but don't have the downpayment or credit to qualify for a loan, HERE is your answer....”
“Clean and professional website, easy investing process, and compelling properties. My first investment with Here is already paying returns and several more will be following soon. There's a reason these properties sell out in a single day!”
“I've been really happy with the communication and all of the emails I get. I wish there were more tools for viewing statistics and a few more settings for flexibility of viewing what I'm invested in and how that is working for me. Additional info on the property after I invest would be great, like how the area is doing.”
“Thanks for your hard work, team Here! My comments on things to improve:
I'd like to see the performance of each of my investments on the dashboard in real time, or close to real time.
Emails on my investments being booked were informative, but then they stopped without any explanation. More clear communication on that would be great.
I'd like to receive monthly emails on the status/performance of my investments.”
“I love the idea of the app and am looking forward to sticking with Here for a long time. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because the adding a bank account and adding money feature has been a pain for anybody I’ve tried to invite.”
“I've been so impressed with the ease of using Here, along with the impressive portfolio of properties available. And now, I'm seeing a return on my investment already!! I will be a long-term investor.

“It provides new avenues for the investors on short term rental, who haven’t had chance to be part of this before. Easy to use platform, however if the website could itself provide the details of expenditure/costs/adjustments instead on the email would be a welcome feature.”
“Nice UI/UX, good spread of markets the properties are in. Glad that each offering is Reg A/A+ / CF so non-accredited investors can get in. Glad that buying team had experience from Groundfloor + Divvy. Glad the team did a community round on WeFunder.
Maybe the team could do more outreach to build the brand (fireside chats/twitter spaces themed around real estate/proptech/investing, etc..)
Hope the team considers refinancing if/when rates go down in the future (moot point if debt was short term. Would groundfloor be cheaper capital than who your using currently (?) )”
“I’m really excited about this. I think this is a great plan to allow people like me to invest with other investors and industry leaders. Here’s team have been awesome and helpful.”
“So far everything with Here has been positive. They offer properties in locations where I believe revenue will get generated in multiple location’s across the US. The properties are well kept and don’t look out dated/old.”
“Here.co is the next thing in Real Estate investing! Corey, Tucker, Eugene & crew are innovating rapidly and providing an excellent website/investor experience. I hope I make enough money to invest in all their offerings!!!”
“Here is a fantastic way to either begin your property investment journey or to expand your portfolio if you are an experienced investor. They do all the hard work for you! It is completely passive, simply invest and instantly gain not only tax benefits but also passive generated income. I have invested on every property they have released and will continue doing so!”
“This has been a goal of mine for so long and you literally made it possible in just a few clicks. No stress. No hassle. No drawn out process. Absolutely incredible.”
“My husband and I have wanted to continue adding rental real estate to our portfolio for quite some time and now we are so excited to be invested in the company and have ownership ourselves.
We can't wait for our investment in a vacation rental property to pay for our next vacation!!”
