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.

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.

Relax Relax, it's a debt position. Many of the complaints I see on here are due to late payment and extended loan status. Extended loans have been the most lucrative section of my overall Groundfloor portfolio. If the borrower has my money, they're on the clock, I'm getting paid. I've seen some people mention REITS, however being that those are often equity investments, they are often far riskier. The reason people feel more comfortable with them is because real estate lending is something new with regards to retail investors being able to participate. The risk here is far less than in many other RE investment vehicles. Check any publicly traded REIT's performance over the past 365 days from my review date. You'll find that most of them are down well over 8% on the year, and that's after a monthlong bull run in the sector. I made 9.3% in 2023 on Groundfloor. The key is to DIVERSIFY into as many loans as possible. They make it very easy to do so with $10 minimums per loan on their desktop site, and $1 minimums per loan on their mobile app "Groundfloor Investor" Their auto investor account on mobile is great for someone who wants completely passive income and maximum diversification.

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!

RUN AWAY FROM THIS LENDER RUN AWAY FROM THIS LENDER! They are liars and predatory lenders. I had completed 3 successful projects with them and was working on a 4th. I reached out inquiring on expanding my scope of work and refinancing my deal. They said they would be glad to do it but wanted an additional $120,000 from me. I told them that was ridiculous and I would continue with my original project. They then refused to issue my draw request for work that was already completed, tried to force me to refinance, when I refused they chose to ignore me for a month whilst daily interest continued to accrue. They are scammers. Do not trust them!
