Why More Investors Are Choosing Connect Invest Over Groundfloor

And why now might be the perfect time to invest more.

 

When it comes to building wealth with real estate-backed investments, both Groundfloor and Connect Invest aim to offer alternatives to the stock market. But the similarities end there.

 

If you’re looking for predictable income, short-term options, and built-in diversification without the stress, Connect Invest is built for you. Whether you’re just getting started — or considering adding more capital — here’s a clear look at how we compare to Groundfloor and why so many investors are doubling down on Connect Invest.

 

 

  1. Simplicity That Just Works

 

With Connect Invest, you make one simple decision:

➡️ Pick your term (6, 12, or 24 months), and

➡️ Your funds are automatically spread across 100+ real estate-backed projects.

 

There’s no loan-picking, no dashboards to manage, and no wondering what happens next.

You invest once — and get paid monthly.

 

Groundfloor, on the other hand, often requires you to manually select individual loans (unless you use their Flywheel option), which still lacks clarity on how returns are calculated or distributed.

 

 

  1. Fixed Returns, Paid Monthly

 

When you invest with Connect Invest, your return is locked in upfront — up to 9% annually — with interest paid out monthly.

You always know:

  • What you’re earning
  • When you’re getting paid
  • How your capital is working

 

With Groundfloor’s Flywheel portfolio, returns are targeted, not guaranteed, and some investors report months with little or no payouts. That uncertainty may work for some — but not for investors who value consistency and income planning.

 

 

  1. Real Diversification from Day One

 

Every Connect Invest position is automatically diversified across a portfolio of 100+ professionally underwritten projects.

This isn’t guesswork — it’s real estate income at scale.

 

By contrast, Groundfloor often exposes investors to a handful of individual fix-and-flip loans — which means one underperforming project can impact your overall return.

 

 

  1. Designed for Everyday Investors

 

Connect Invest was built with everyday investors in mind:

  • $500 minimum to get started
  • No accreditation required
  • Fixed terms and clear outcomes
  • Clean, intuitive interface
  • Education and support every step of the way

 

While Groundfloor is also open to non-accredited investors, the experience leans more toward those comfortable managing multiple deals or navigating variable returns.

 

 

  1. Peace of Mind You Can Count On

 

Let’s face it: not everyone wants to spend hours managing their portfolio.

With Connect Invest, there’s no need to.

 

You invest, we handle the heavy lifting.

You receive monthly income, backed by real assets and protected by smart diversification.

 

 

💡 Why Now May Be the Right Time to Invest More

 

With rates up to 9% fixed, paid monthly, Connect Invest offers a compelling opportunity to:

  • Reinvest idle cash
  • Offset inflation
  • Build a short-term income ladder
  • Diversify outside of traditional stocks and bonds

 

And for existing investors?

Adding more to your account is the fastest way to grow consistent, real estate-backed income — without additional complexity.

 

 

🟢 Final Takeaway

 

If you want to actively manage loans and chase variable returns, Groundfloor may be a fit.

But if you’re ready for smart, simple, fixed-income investing backed by real estate, Connect Invest offers a better way forward.
