A great alternative to stocks but needs better overall security when logging in. A great alternative to stocks which haven’t been performing very well over the past year. I will say though that I wish the stairs and Groundfloor apps had two factor authentication to log in. Anytime I open my stairs app, if I didn’t log out the account is open and viewable to anyone. Security for individual apps from Groundfloor needs to be improved. Would also like to see an accumulated interest earned from the stairs app so i dont need to open the month to month interest earned to add them up individually.

Steady income stream. I have invested in Groundfloor for a little over a year. In that time I averaged between 11-12% return on my investment. As yet I have not invested in a unit that has gone through foreclosure, but it will happen sooner or later, which is why Groundfloor strongly encourages you to invest smaller amounts into many loans. One thing to note is that a loan may go longer or shorter than the time stated in the loan. You still get the interest the whole time, so not a huge concern for me. If you have savings in a bank drawing pennies a year in interest, this should be something you look into as a part of your investment portfolio.

I am a big fan of Groundfloor I am a big fan of Groundfloor. One thing that could be improved is the way the updates on LROs are communicated. We have to individually go to each LRO and click on it to see updates (if any), which are posted at random times, and are not very helpful (i.e., it doesn't necessarily tell us the expected repayment date, or explain how long a foreclosure might take etc...). I wish updates were more easily visible so we don't have to go click and take a chance for each LRO and more explanatory for real estate rookie investors.

I've been on Groundfloor now for almost… I've been on Groundfloor now for almost a year and I just love the platform in every way. The information is clear and concise, their help articles do a really good job explaining what an LRO investment is, and transferring funds was super easy. All this was enough to convince me to throw some money at it to test out. Sure enough... I've consistently earned 10-12% on my investments and I'm allocating more money to it every month. Get after it.

Beats 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!
