$2,000 Fundrise vs M1 Finance Results - BIG Changes

2 years ago I decided to put $2,000 into Fundrise and a REIT through M1 Finance to compare how each would perform. They're both ways to invest in real estate, but they perform a lot differently depending on market conditions. In this video, I'm going to go through what the results have been over the past 2 years. I'll share with you my observations, pros, cons, and my overall thoughts on Fundrise and a REIT traded on the stock market. Fundrise is a crowdfunded real estate investing platform that allows you to combine your money with other investors to invest in physical real estate. Fundrise will take your money and use it to either purchase real estate for short term, medium term, and long term investments, or they'll lend it out to other real estate investors and earn you a return through interest on the debt. The money made from both those avenues is how you earn a return on your investment through the platform. M1 Finance is an online brokerage (my personal #1 choice) where you're able to buy and sell stocks, ETFs, bonds, and REITs. What I show in this video is a curated REIT M1 Finance has created. This is a part of the "expert pies" they put together an optional investment for their users.

Everyone's situation is different so do your own research before making any decisions with your money. If you need help then contact a Certified Financial Fiduciary before trying anything that is mentioned in this video. I prefer a Fiduciary financial advisor that charges an hourly fee as opposed to an ongoing fee based on a % of your portfolio. Always remember that incentives determine the type of advice they give you so one that charges an hourly fee is less likely to be problematic. #Investing #StockMarket #PersonalFinance
