No, Groundfloor is not a REIT. The reason is that investors don’t have to cede control of their capital to a fund manager who invests for them and decides on the risk/reward ratio. Instead, investors have complete control over the deals they want to invest in, can browse the listings themselves, and deploy their money according to their strategy and risk tolerance. By investing in multiple deals, investors essentially become their own fund managers and create their own REITs.
