Passive Income Backed by
Real Estate

Alternative investing shouldn't be reserved for the wealthy. With Groundfloor, anyone can invest in short-term real estate loans that deliver steady returns without buying property or managing tenants.

It’s a simple, hands-off way to grow your money outside the stock market.

How Real Estate Debt Investing Works

Groundfloor lets you start investing with as little as $100.

You can choose from a variety of real estate-based investment products or opt for an automated, diversified portfolio. As borrowers repay their loans, you earn interest. When projects are completed, you can withdraw your funds or reinvest in new opportunities.

Fund Renovations

Invest in real estate products with low minimums.

Earn Interest

Grow your investments with interest.

Get Repaid

Repaid loans return money to you

Grow Your Portfolio with Groundfloor

Real estate investing used to be reserved for big banks and the wealthy. We've opened the door with three ways to grow your money:

Flywheel Portfolio

Our most popular option spreads your investment across hundreds of real estate loans automatically. Just $100 gets you started with instant diversification and weekly payouts.

*10-13.5% potential returns represent a range of interest rates on actual loan amounts based on all loans we have originated over the last 12 months as of May 2025, non-inclusive of potential losses or deferred payments.

Loans

Want to choose where your money goes? Our Loans let you hand-pick individual real estate projects. With our $10 minimum, Loans give you full control over where your money goes. You fund specific real estate renovations based on term length, location, and risk profile.

Groundfloor Notes

Notes are short-term investments with predictable returns and set repayment dates. With a $1,000 minimum, Notes offer fixed 30, 90, or 360-day terms. You choose the term that fits your strategy and receive consistent income with no market exposure.

*Based on rates as of May 2025. Rates may be adjusted monthly, based on market conditions.

Why Groundfloor Is Different

We’re not just another investing platform. Groundfloor stands apart from other real estate investment options in three important ways:

Invest in Properties
Without Owning

You earn through lending and not battling tenants or rising property values. Returns come from interest, offering passive income regardless of the market.

Backed by Real
Tangible Assets

Each Groundfloor loan is backed by real property you could drive by, not just a digital asset. That tangible backing adds security when markets get shaky.

Built for Different
Market Conditions

We have weathered rate hikes, inflation, market dips, and even a pandemic. With losses under 1%, our strong track record reflects disciplined lending.
