Passive Real Estate Investments

[Slade DiChiaro]

I am interested in investing in a passive real estate fund such as FundRise or VNQ with Vanguard.  I know that ETF REITs such as VNQ are more liquid, but does anybody have any insight or recommend using FundRise?  

I am trying to figure out if FundRise could potentially lead to higher returns in exchange for funds being more locked up compared to REITs.  I am currently an unaccredited investor and do not have access to invest in most real estate funds.
