Fundrise vs. DiversyFund: Comparing 2 Real Estate Investments

Today’s guest post comes from Fred Leamnson from the Money Mix website. I met Fred briefly at FinCon, and we’ve communicated several times since then. His well-written posts have landed on The Sunday Best several times now.

Fred is an advocate for those dealing with opioid addiction, the effects of which have greatly impacted his family. He devotes an entire section of his website to overcoming adversity. I respect his willingness to share his son’s story and to bring light to a taboo subject.

This post highlights a couple of crowdfunded real estate funds available to everyone, not just the accredited investor. Both require a minimum of $500.
