“Here is a great way for people who don't have the means and/or courage to invest in real estate on their own and make it work for them so they have passive income.”
“Great place to invest. Easy to find choice. Though I have not received any instant benefits till now. But expecting to get much better in future. The service is very smooth.”
“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'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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
