@Rudy TateI just got this from fundrise: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. 

If there is a "reason" that you feel you can't fulfill that one year, then you would be able to purchase another property.

Different properties fulfill different purposes within the portfolio, so I can't say which one is best yet or at least until they are sold. 

I was going to reach out one last time and give him an ultimatum to fulfill the terms of the contract or provide me with a partial refund to hire someone else to remove them.

Each step will also have criteria that the previous step must fulfill in order to move forward. 

My thought is they signed a contract and must fulfill it but this doesn't mean it will be painless. 

Once they fulfill that first step according to the offer, meaning signing it and returning it to you in the required amount of time, then you and the seller have a binding contract. 

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. 

But perhaps its more fulfilling to have a system of making x amounts of offers per year.

I would reach out to the cities EDC board to find out what is needed and fulfill that need, once you have identified where you add the value you can create a program for your investors.
