Real-estate crowdfunding sits between pure peer-to-peer lending and direct property ownership. Instead of funding consumer loans, you take a small stake in a specific property or development and earn either rental income, development interest, or a share of the eventual sale.
InRento is built around buy-to-let rental projects, distributing rental income to investors monthly plus a capital gain on exit. It appeals to people who want landlord-style returns without managing tenants, voids or maintenance. Brickstarter takes a similar approach focused on short-term and holiday rentals.
FinForta and Modena are newer platforms broadening the European crowdfunding map. As with any younger platform, the upside is competitive early-investor terms; the caveat is a shorter track record through which to judge default and recovery behaviour.
For comparison, established secured lender EstateGuru offers loan-based property exposure rather than equity — a useful contrast when deciding whether you want income-and-upside (crowdfunding) or fixed interest (secured lending). The distinction matters at tax time too, since rental distributions, interest and capital gains are often treated differently in your home jurisdiction.
The defining feature of property crowdfunding is illiquidity: your money is typically committed for the life of the project, often a year or more, and secondary-market exit is not guaranteed. Size each position on the assumption you cannot get out early, and never fund a single project with money you might need. Capital at risk. This is not financial advice.
