Real estate crowdfunding platforms (Fundrise, RealtyMogul, CrowdStreet, Arrived) let individual investors participate in real estate projects with low minimums ($10-$1,000). Categories: equity (ownership stake in projects) vs. debt (lend to property owners); residential vs. commercial; income-focused vs. growth. Pros: diversification, professional management, no property management hassle, accessible minimums. Cons: illiquidity (typically 5-7 year lockups), platform risk, fees (1-2% management + performance), limited control. Returns typically 8-12% annualized historically. SEC accreditation requirements apply to some projects; recent JOBS Act expanded retail access. Diversify across platforms and project types.
