For the first time, individual investors can access top tier institutional real estate investment funds which have historically generated rates of return over 20% IRR. Traditionally, these institutional quality, high return funds have had million dollar minimum subscription amounts. However, through CityVest, you can access, conduct due diligence and invest in these funds with just $25,000.

There is no cost to join CityVest, browse opportunities, perform due diligence, and choose an investment property. There is a small annual fee – typically 0.75% (less than 1%) of the investment amount plus a small fixed annual fee – to cover the CityVest technology, listing and reporting. In addition, there is a reimbursement of accounting and other administrative costs. Please review the applicable investor package and the operating agreement for the investment vehicle for details on such fees. These fees help CityVest maintain the platform and the regular reporting that is available on the investor dashboard.

All investments carry a degree of associated risk. The term risk can be defined as the likelihood of loss on an investment when it comes to expected returns. Risk is something all investors face. Understanding risk in the real estate industry requires the investor to quantify certain metrics that are not easily quantifiable. If you are looking to invest directly into a property or fund larger real estate investments, there are three common risks to consider: Risk of not getting what you paid for, risk of bad or no tenants, and the risk of fluctuation or decline in the housing market.
