General
1.We note your response to comment 1. Please explain to us how the returns of the various
Fundrise programs are aggregated in your calculation. In addition, please explain in more
detail why you believe it is reasonable to present the aggregated return information for
Fundrise programs to investors. In this respect, please explain to us how your calculation
of the aggregated return accounts for the fact that the programs are in various stages of
their life cycles, including some that are no longer open to investment, and have differing
investment focuses, and that the exact composition of an investor's portfolio that is
invested in multiple Fundrise programs is unique.

Redemption Plan, page 23
3.We note your disclosure on page 24 that for redemptions that occur during the
introductory period, an investor would receive back his or her "original investment
amount." We also note your disclosure on page 25 that you "intend to limit shareholders
to redemption requests to the lesser of 5,000 common shares or $50,000 worth of common
shares, which may affect whether the entirety of a redemption request will be considered
to be in the Introductory Period or Post-Introductory Period." Please revise your
disclosure on page 24 regarding the amount that an investor may redeem during the 90-
day introductory period to clarify that an investor would only receive his or her "original
investment amount" to the extent it were less than 5,000 common shares or $50,000 worth
of common stock, or advise.
Please contact Ronald (Ron) E. Alper at 202-551-3329 or Erin E. Martin at 202-551-3391
