A Smarter Place for Cash on the Sidelines

A new year is a natural moment to reassess your investing strategy. If your portfolio is still concentrated in public markets, diversification may be more limited than it appears. Stocks and bonds often move together during periods of volatility, leaving many investors exposed to the same macro risks.

Groundfloor provides access to private real estate credit, an asset class driven by underlying collateral and defined timelines rather than daily market pricing.

Groundfloor Notes offer a straightforward way to add that diversification. Choose a 30-day, 90-day, or 12-month term and lock in a fixed return. Experience earnings up to 8.25%, backed by diversified, first-lien real estate loans managed by Groundfloor, an SEC-qualified platform operating since 2013.

Since launching Notes in 2018, Groundfloor has made every scheduled principal and interest payment to investors at maturity. To date, every investor has seen positive returns from investing in Groundfloor Notes.
