New Platform Deep-Dive Review: F Street

F Street is a newcomer that has surprisingly high deal flow, a wide variety of offerings, and impressive (claimed) AUM of $647 Million. On the down side, it doesn't disclose it's full track record or co-investment. Additionally, leadership's site bios are essentially empty and the CEO appears to have no previous experience managing other people's money as a fund manager.

A Changing of the Guard for Real Estate CrowdFunding?

The recent downturn has caused a lot of pain and disruption to the older crowdfunding sites (as discussed in previous reviews). And it's also caused a ton of new companies to popup (like daisies after a spring rain). And unsurprisingly, many of these new firms are taking a different approach than the old guard did.

So this is the seventh article in a new series about these fresh platforms. And this one is about F Street which specializes in a wide variety of real-estate investments.

What is F Street?

F Street is a newer real estate crowdfunding platform that has quickly built up an impressively wide range of deals across residential and commercial real estate, multiple asset classes (multifamily, industrial), strategies (construction, value-add), capital stack positions (equity, debt), and even offers a 1031 exchange. At the time of review, it was offering five active investments and claimed $647 million AUM and $192 million raised. These are notable numbers for a young platform.

On the negative side, F Street does not provide a full track record (neither on its site or in the investment materials I reviewed for the deep dive). That lack of transparency makes it difficult to evaluate sponsor experience — a critical factor in judging the risk. Leadership bios are sparse, and CEO Scott Lurie’s background shows no prior experience managing outside investor capital. For some conservative investors, this will be a dealbreaker. The platform also doesn’t clearly disclose co-investment (“skin in the game”), which some investors require for alignment. And finally, its choice to add bitcoin to its treasury strategy may be seen by some as innovative, and by others as an unnecessary risk.

Bottom line:

• Pros: Strong deal flow for a new platform, wide variety of offerings, and impressive claimed AUM/capital raised.

• Cons: Lack of track record disclosure, no detailed leadership bios, no clear co-investment, CEO with limited fund management background, and added bitcoin exposure.

F Street is open only to accredited investors. Whether it makes sense for you depends on your personal risk tolerance, experience, and portfolio goals.
