@Whitney HuttenThanks for the links Whitney, very useful.Fred is advising I go for a loan to purchase the property rather than seek an equity loan after I’ve purchased with cash.However I’m still interested in purchasing with cash to give me a fighting chance of securing a property.

As I look to scale and increase my purchasing, I'm seeking additional private money to help fund deals in exchange for a set % return.

I requested a Redemption of my funds from fundrise back in January and they won't release them.Here is what they said:Fundrise Advisors, in our capacity as Manager of the eREITs and eFunds, has determined that it is necessary at this time to suspend the processing and fulfillment of redemption requests.While under normal market conditions, we seek to provide investors with the ability to redeem their investments on a regular basis, during times of financial crisis or extreme uncertainty, it is absolutely critical that we suspend redemptions in order to protect the interests of all our investors.As Manager, we have an obligation to make decisions based upon what is best for the entire Fundrise investor community and must always put the priorities of the whole above any one individual.Fundamentally, Fundrise investors own real property, which is simply not liquid.
