GBLimited communication Your customer service reps are friendly but any level above that is non responsive. My mistake to have invested $1000 on one project. It was initially supposed to be a 4 month payout but It’s been 11 months and property was almost in foreclosure once and now possibly again. Other than that information from the CSR, no one from Groundfloor will provide any further details. In addition, there is limited communication on the website. One CSR suggested I spread out my risk going forward. This is also what I suggest to anyone planning to invest with this type of platform.

GBBeats my Bank & my Broker When I refinanced my home, I took out money for renovations I didn't need yet to capture the low interest rate. That, plus some personal & retirement funds, are invested in over 500 Groundfloor LRO and Stairs. Oh, and Groundfloor Equity, which has more than DOUBLED in 2 years! Compare that to S&P 500 ETF at my traditional brokerage, down 17%+ for the first 8 months of 2022, and pennies at my bank. Yes, I'm happy with Groundfloor!

GBReal-estate investing made easy. Real-estate investing made easy. Web portal is simple even with multiple accounts. The Investment Wizard gives you your time back by not having to plug in all the criteria you wish to filter through. A fantastic investment vehicle with decent returns.

GBA good investment option Groundfloor is a good investment option. It needs more options with its auto invest feature though. Right now if you choose type C and Type B investments to invest in, it puts both kinds into a pool and then randomly pics the number you can afford. There is no option to prioritize C's over B's for better return or to pick the higher return loans inside the C's. This would make it so people could maximize thier returns. That's what needs to change to get 5 stars. More options to the auto-invest feature.

GBConsistent 10% returns I have been investing with GF for about 2 years now. I started out investing in the higher interest LROs, but found that many of them fall to "default" status. Now that I invest mostly in the 10% LROs, I am having much better success with the loans paying off timely. At a 10% return, it is a much better return than savings accounts or CDs.
