Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
.... Regardless, for myself, fundrise is not my preferred vehicle for RRE. My preferred vehicle for RRE is direct ownership. I currently own 9 rental properties and am under contract to buy another ....
And now we've come full circle to the diversification issue. Nine or ten properties is not the kind of diversification that most should be comfortable with.
Your reply to OldShooter:
LOL says the guy that keeps posting over and over again himself. Pot, kettle, black. The fact is there is significantly less information for the average investor on residential real estate (which is a $40T market in the US) than stocks ($50T) so I hope some folks will diversify outside of just equities and bonds. Far too many folks like you really do not do the avg person any favors by making them less diversified as they enter retirement.
I'd have to go back and look (I may have him crossed with another frequent poster), but I'm pretty sure that OldShooter has promoted (or at least is open to) diversifying into international stocks and REITS.
At any rate, I think I will take his advice and bow out of this. Good luck.
