Concreit vs RealtyMogul

Both platforms use Regulation A to offer non-accredited investors access to real estate, but they are in very different operating states. Concreit is a small, mobile-first platform built around a $1-minimum weekly-distribution Fund I, currently operational with a functioning redemption gate. RealtyMogul is a 13-year-old institutional CRE platform currently in platform restructuring — both REITs paused to new investors, share repurchase programs suspended, and an audited Sherwood Oaks deed-in-lieu event in the Apartment Growth REIT.

Guide Thesis

Same regulatory wrapper. Different operating realities.

The comparison is not which platform is better in aggregate. It is which operating state fits the investor today. Concreit Fund I is operational and accessible at $1, with documented governance trade-offs in the Operating Agreement and a cumulative GAAP return-of-capital identity in the audited financials. RealtyMogul has greater scale and a 13-year track record, but both REITs are currently paused with no disclosed redemption reinstatement timeline, the Apartment Growth REIT has produced a deed-in-lieu event and a realized loss on sale, and the marketplace now features exclusively deals sponsored by the platform's new owner.

Concreit Fund I is currently the more deployable product for small-check non-accredited investors prioritizing weekly distribution cadence and a functioning redemption gate. RealtyMogul is structurally an institutional CRE platform, but the products that historically served retail are paused and existing investors are locked in until the share repurchase programs reopen on undisclosed timelines.

Both platforms provide meaningful primary-source disclosure through SEC Reg A filings. What differs is the operating state of the products today, the audited findings in each platform's most recent 1-K filings, and the structural governance posture.

Quick verdict

Concreit is the more deployable platform today for small non-accredited investors because Fund I remains open, has a $1 minimum, pays weekly distributions, and maintains an operational redemption gate. RealtyMogul is the larger and more institutional platform, but its two retail REITs are paused to new investors and have suspended share repurchase programs, so new non-accredited investors currently have limited access. Existing RealtyMogul REIT investors cannot redeem through the share repurchase programs at stated NAV while those programs remain suspended.

A note on terminology

For the purposes of this guide, “platform restructuring” or “post-acquisition operating transition” refers to the observable operating changes following The Wideman Company's November 2025 acquisition of RealtyMogul: paused REIT subscriptions (July 11, 2025), suspended share repurchase programs (April 21, 2026), suspended DRIPs (April 21, 2026), management change (Jilliene Helman resigned; Matthew Wideman installed as CEO), RM Securities broker-dealer registration withdrawal (July 11, 2025), Maryland corporation conversion (April 27, 2026), and a marketplace now consisting entirely of Wideman-sponsored offerings as of the platform snapshot reviewed by AltStreet. The term does not imply formal bankruptcy, Chapter 11 proceedings, court-supervised restructuring, or insolvency — both REITs continue to file audited 1-K reports with CohnReznick LLP clean opinions and RM Adviser LLC remains an SEC-registered investment adviser.

Operating-status timeline

The fifteen months that defined each platform's current state

The differences between Concreit's currently operational state and RealtyMogul's post-acquisition operating transition are best understood as an event chronology drawn from primary SEC filings.

Concreit

Operational continuity

Concreit's same fifteen-month window shows one disclosure cycle on an operationally continuous platform: FY2024 1-K (April 2025) carried a going-concern qualification at the Fund I level; new Form 1-A filed July 2024 and qualified June 30, 2025; June 30, 2025 Reg A requalification alleviated the going-concern; the Fund I 10% per 3-month rolling redemption gate continued operating through 2025 at 30–38% annualized observed volumes; FY2025 1-K (April 2026) filed on schedule with Aprio LLP clean audit, surfacing the cumulative $204,563 GAAP excess identity; Series LLC FY2025 1-K filed May 2026 with Aprio LLP audit (third firm in three years on that vehicle).

Fund I continues accepting subscriptions; Series LLC remains active with property-level availability subject to current offerings; the redemption gate continues operating.

RealtyMogul

Event-driven post-acquisition operating transition

DateEvent
Feb 21, 2025Income REIT distribution cut from 6% to 3% annualized (Form 1-U, Helman signature)
May 27, 2025Lotus Village sold at $32.85M vs $38.5M acquisition (-14.7% realized loss)
Jul 11, 2025Both REITs paused to new investors; RM Securities broker-dealer registration withdrawn

Apr 21, 2026Both REIT share repurchase programs and DRIPs suspended
Apr 27, 2026Income REIT converts from Delaware LLC to Maryland corporation

Marketplace shifts to exclusively Wideman-sponsored offerings under technology licensing model; both REITs remain paused to new investors as of the platform snapshot reviewed by AltStreet.

The chronology demonstrates the editorial finding: Concreit's most recent fifteen months show one disclosure cycle (going-concern alleviated post-requalification) on an operationally continuous platform. RealtyMogul's same period shows nine distinct operating-status events, materially changing the platform from the one that originally raised investor capital. Both event streams are sourced entirely from primary SEC filings — Form 1-K, Form 1-SA, Form 1-U, Form 1-A, Form D — and RM Adviser LLC fact sheets dated May 6, 2026.

The Core Decision

Same Reg A wrapper. Very different operating states.

Concreit is the smaller, currently operational Reg A platform: two active vehicles, 5,207 verified securityholders per Form TA-2, combined AUM around $10.5M, $1 Fund I minimum, weekly distributions, and a functioning 10% per 3-month redemption gate. RealtyMogul is the larger Reg A platform, currently in a post-acquisition operating transition: platform-reported 300,000+ members and $1.2B+ deployed since 2012, audited Income REIT total assets $288.7M with NAV declined 32% from peak to $7.49, Apartment Growth REIT $157.3M total assets with an audited Sherwood Oaks deed-in-lieu event (March 2026), both REIT repurchase programs suspended (April 21, 2026), and 100% of active marketplace deals sponsored by The Wideman Company under a technology licensing model.

Operating Status

Different states

Concreit: Fund I open to new investments with redemption gate functional (~40% annualized). RealtyMogul: both REITs paused to new investors (July 2025); share repurchase programs suspended (April 2026); no reinstatement timeline.

Asset Class

Different products

Concreit Fund I: ~75% short-term real-estate-secured loan participations, ~25% equity, weekly distributions. RealtyMogul: non-traded REITs holding institutional CRE (commercial debt/equity, multifamily) plus accredited-only Wideman marketplace.

Headline Audited Finding

Different pressure points

Concreit: $204,563 cumulative GAAP excess of distributions over net income (FY2019–FY2025) reconciling to accumulated deficit. RealtyMogul: Income REIT NAV -32% from peak; Apartment Growth REIT deed-in-lieu event (Sherwood Oaks, March 2026).

Concreit Fund I cumulative distributions in excess of GAAP net income

FY2019–FY2025: $2,091,583 distributions vs $1,887,020 GAAP net income. Reconciles exactly to accumulated deficit on FY2025 balance sheet — documented design feature of Operating Agreement Section 4.1.

Final read

Bottom Line Up Front

Concreit and RealtyMogul are not direct substitutes. Concreit is a small, currently operational Reg A platform built around a debt-heavy pooled fund with a $1 minimum and weekly distributions — combined AUM around $10.5M, 5,207 verified securityholders per Form TA-2 (vs ~40,000 marketed), Operating Agreement governance posture at the high-discretion end of Delaware LLC law, and a documented cumulative GAAP return-of-capital identity. RealtyMogul is a 13-year-old institutional CRE platform with materially larger scale (platform-reported 300,000+ members and $1.2B+ deployed; $128.7M EDGAR-verified across 43 historical Form D SPVs; Income REIT audited $288.7M total assets), now in platform restructuring following the November 2025 Wideman acquisition — both REITs paused to new investors, both share repurchase programs suspended, and a portfolio that has produced an audited Sherwood Oaks deed-in-lieu event, a realized loss on sale (Lotus Village -14.7%), and an unresolved mortgage default (Brooklyn Portfolio).

For investors choosing between them: the operating-state difference dominates the decision. If the allocation objective is weekly distribution cadence at the smallest possible check size with a functioning redemption gate, Concreit Fund I is structurally available today — with the disciplined caveat that the Operating Agreement Section 5.2 fiduciary duty waiver, the cumulative $204,563 GAAP excess across FY2019–FY2025, and the regressive $5/month platform-level advisory fee on small accounts (Form ADV Part 2A) require honest underwriting. If the allocation objective is institutional CRE exposure through a non-traded REIT, RealtyMogul historically delivered that — but both REITs are currently paused, and as of the platform snapshot reviewed by AltStreet, all active marketplace offerings were Wideman-sponsored, creating a disclosed structural conflict: the platform owner, REIT manager, and marketplace sponsor are the same economic group. Existing RealtyMogul REIT investors are locked in until the repurchase programs reopen under terms that have not been published.

Neither platform is risk-free. Concreit: express fiduciary duty waiver on Fund I; cumulative GAAP excess of distributions over net income reconciling to accumulated deficit; three audit firms in three years on Series LLC; captive transfer agent; related-party at-par transfer of the Sanctuary Broadway position to a Manager affiliate (FY2023); regressive $5/month platform-level advisory fee on accounts under $5,000; founder ownership declined from ~85% at inception to 0.74% by April 2026. RealtyMogul: both REIT share repurchase programs suspended with no reinstatement timeline; Income REIT NAV -32% from peak; Apartment Growth REIT audited Sherwood Oaks deed-in-lieu event and realized loss on sale; unresolved Brooklyn Portfolio mortgage default; RM Securities broker-dealer registration withdrawn (July 2025); structural conflict of interest with The Wideman Company simultaneously platform owner, REIT manager, and sole active marketplace sponsor; no public Wideman Company standalone financials. These are diligence inputs, not deal-breakers.

Concreit strengths

$1 minimum on Fund I — among the lowest in fractional real estate; weekly distribution cadence; 10% per 3-month rolling redemption gate operational with observed FY2023–FY2025 redemption volumes of 30–38% annualized; mobile-first delivery; both active Reg A vehicles open to new investments; seven fiscal years of audited Fund I reporting on EDGAR; 1099-DIV simplicity (REIT structure, low UBTI risk for IRAs); Series LLC offering circular preserves Manager fiduciary language; FY2024 going-concern alleviated post-June 2025 requalification.

RealtyMogul strengths

13-year operating history (founded 2012); platform-reported 300,000+ members and $1.2B+ deployed; $128.7M EDGAR-verified across 43 historical Form D SPVs (2,433 investors); CohnReznick LLP audit on both REITs with clean opinions; institutional CRE asset class exposure at $5K minimum (when REITs reopen); Wideman Company brings 50-year operator track record in Sunbelt commercial real estate; 1031 exchange concierge with DST/TIC structures for large exchanges; Income REIT has paid 110+ consecutive distribution periods historically (cadence now diminished); both REITs are SEC Reg A Tier 2 with audited annual financials and material event disclosure via Form 1-U.

Comparison hub

The comparison broken down by category

Two Regulation A real estate platforms, three decision dimensions: product structure, operating status, and fees / tax / liquidity.

The three sections below isolate the dimensions where the differences are most material to investor decisions.

Mobile-first retail debt fund vs institutional CRE REIT complex

Product Structure & Asset Class

Concreit operates two active Regulation A vehicles plus a captive transfer agent and a separately-registered investment adviser. Concreit Fund I LLC is the operative debt-heavy REIT vehicle (~$8.99M FY2025 AUM, ~75% loan participations / ~25% equity) with $1 minimum and weekly distributions. Concreit Series LLC is a newer per-property SFR equity vehicle (~$1.54M FY2025 AUM, five properties). RealtyMogul operates two non-traded REITs and a marketplace under three different investor tiers. The RealtyMogul Income REIT (CIK 0001669664, $288.7M audited total assets, 7,700 investors, $148.2M raised) is a diversified commercial real estate debt-and-equity vehicle. The Apartment Growth REIT (CIK 0001699573, $157.3M audited total assets, 3,600 investors, $66.3M raised) targets multifamily and industrial value-add. Both REITs are currently paused to new investors. The accredited-only marketplace ($35K–$50K minimum) currently features exclusively Wideman Company-sponsored deals.

Practical answer

Use Concreit Fund I when the objective is weekly distribution cadence at the smallest possible check size, and the investor accepts the documented Operating Agreement governance posture. RealtyMogul is structurally suited for institutional CRE exposure, but both REIT products are paused and existing investors have no near-term exit. The accredited-only marketplace is the only currently-deployable RealtyMogul product.

Decision factorWhat changes
Asset focusConcreit Fund I: ~75% short-term real-estate-secured loan participations, ~25% equity in residential/commercial real estate. Series LLC: direct SFR equity. RealtyMogul: institutional CRE (commercial debt and equity in Income REIT; multifamily and industrial in Apartment Growth REIT). Marketplace: Wideman-sponsored CRE (NNN industrial, trophy office, preferred equity).
Number of active productsConcreit: 2 active Reg A vehicles (Fund I + Series LLC); plus dormant Reg D Series 1. RealtyMogul: 4 product tiers — Income REIT (paused), Apartment Growth REIT (paused), accredited marketplace (open), 1031 concierge (open).
Minimum investmentConcreit: $1 Fund I; $1,000 Series LLC. RealtyMogul: $5,000 REITs (both currently paused to new investors); $35,000–$50,000 marketplace (accredited only); 1031 concierge varies by deal (typically $5M+ exchanges for custom acquisition services).
Distribution cadenceConcreit Fund I: weekly distributions; annualized rate range 5.00%-7.00% over fund history, currently 6.30%. RealtyMogul Income REIT: quarterly (changed from monthly January 2026), 3.0% annualized (cut from 6% in February 2025). Apartment Growth REIT: distributions paused January 2026.
Investor type servedConcreit: non-accredited eligible (Fund I, Series LLC); accredited only on dormant Reg D Series 1 LLC. RealtyMogul: non-accredited eligible on both REITs (currently paused); accredited only on marketplace and 1031 concierge.

Currently operational vs in platform restructuring

Operating Status & Disclosure Architecture

This is the dimension where the two platforms diverge most materially. Concreit is operating: Fund I is open to new investments and Series LLC remains an active Reg A vehicle with property-level availability subject to current offerings, Fund I's redemption gate has been functional with observed FY2023–FY2025 redemption volumes of 30–38% annualized, and the FY2024 going-concern qualification was alleviated after the June 30, 2025 Reg A requalification. The audited findings on Concreit are governance-related rather than operational: Fund I's cumulative distributions exceed cumulative GAAP net income by $204,563 across FY2019–FY2025, reconciling exactly to the accumulated deficit; the Operating Agreement Section 5.2 contains an express fiduciary duty waiver; Concreit Series LLC has used three different audit firms in three consecutive fiscal years. RealtyMogul is in active platform restructuring. Both REITs paused to new investors July 11, 2025. Income REIT distribution cut from 6% to 3% (February 2025), NAV declined from approximately $11.00 peak to $7.49 at December 31, 2025 (-32%). Apartment Growth REIT distributions paused January 2026; Sherwood Oaks property transferred to lender via deed in lieu of foreclosure March 26, 2026; Brooklyn Portfolio in mortgage maturity default since September 2, 2025; Lotus Village sold at $32.85M vs $38.5M acquisition (-14.7% realized loss). Both REIT share repurchase programs suspended April 21, 2026.

Practical answer

Concreit's audited findings are governance and disclosure mechanics on an operational platform. RealtyMogul's audited findings are realized portfolio events on currently paused products. Investors evaluating each platform are answering different questions — for Concreit, whether the governance terms are acceptable; for RealtyMogul, whether to wait for the Offering Circular refresh and at least one audited fiscal year under Wideman management.

Decision factorWhat changes
New investment statusConcreit: Fund I open to new investments; Series LLC active with property-level availability subject to current offerings. RealtyMogul: both REITs paused to new investors July 11, 2025. Marketplace open to accredited investors. 1031 concierge open.
Liquidity statusConcreit Fund I: 10%/3-month rolling redemption gate operational (~40% annualized capacity). RealtyMogul: both REIT share repurchase programs SUSPENDED April 21, 2026 with no reinstatement timeline; no secondary market for REIT shares.
Distribution statusConcreit Fund I: weekly distributions, currently 6.30% annualized rate. RealtyMogul Income REIT: 3.0% quarterly (cut from 6%). Apartment Growth REIT: distributions PAUSED since Q4 2025 quarter (first pause in REIT history).
Headline audited findingConcreit Fund I: cumulative $204,563 GAAP excess of distributions over net income (FY2019–FY2025), reconciling exactly to accumulated deficit. RealtyMogul: Income REIT NAV -32% from peak; Apartment Growth REIT deed-in-lieu event (Sherwood Oaks, March 2026).
Audit firm historyConcreit Fund I: Aprio LLP current; one transition since 2019 (dbb mckennon → Aprio LLP). Series LLC: three firms in three years (Duner & Foote → dbb mckennon → Aprio LLP). RealtyMogul: CohnReznick LLP for both REITs, clean opinions across multiple years.
Ownership & governanceConcreit: founder-managed (Sean Hsieh CEO); Hsieh ownership declined from ~85% at inception to 0.74% by April 2026, driver not separately disclosed. RealtyMogul: acquired November 6, 2025 by The Wideman Company; Jilliene Helman resigned; Matthew Wideman now CEO; Wideman simultaneously owns platform, manages REITs, and sponsors 100% of active marketplace deals.

Base AMF plus Manager-discretion triggers vs multi-product fee architecture

Fees, Tax & Liquidity

Concreit Fund I applies a 1.0% base asset management fee on NAV with Manager-discretion fee triggers — Special Servicing Fee (1.0% on original loan value, Manager-classified non-performing), Recovery Fee (1.0%, stacks with Special Servicing on the same loan), uncapped 'Other Fees' rate-differential capture, plus a separately-registered $5/month platform-level advisory fee on accounts under $5,000 (Form ADV Part 2A). Tax: 1099-DIV for both Reg A vehicles. Liquidity: Fund I 10%/3-month rolling gate operational. RealtyMogul Income REIT: 1% AMF + 0.5% servicing + 1.0% special servicing + up to 3% organizational/offering costs. Apartment Growth REIT: 1.25% AMF + same servicing. Marketplace: sponsor-set fees vary (FedEx Ground example: 2% acquisition + 1.5% AMF + 2% property management); RM Technologies charges sponsors $1,500/investor + $125/quarter as a separate technology licensing layer. Tax: 1099-DIV (REITs) + K-1 (marketplace) + K-1 (1031 DST) — investors holding multiple products receive multiple tax documents. Liquidity: REITs suspended; marketplace 4–7 year holds.

Practical answer

Use Concreit Fund I for operationally simpler economics — uniform 1099-DIV, operational redemption gate, single-vehicle exposure — with the discipline to model the all-in fee architecture against account size. RealtyMogul's fee architecture varies by product tier and tax reporting is fragmented across 1099-DIV and K-1 forms; the marketplace is the only currently-deployable product but requires accredited status and 4–7 year illiquid commitment.

Decision factorWhat changes
Platform fee — baseConcreit Fund I: 1.0% per annum asset management on NAV. RealtyMogul Income REIT: 1% AMF; Apartment Growth REIT: 1.25% AMF; both REITs add 0.5% servicing + 1.0% special servicing + up to 3% org/offering costs.
Manager-discretion / stacked feesConcreit Fund I: Special Servicing (1% on original loan value), Recovery Fee (1%, stacks), uncapped 'Other Fees' rate-differential capture, 5% in-house property management. RealtyMogul: special servicing on REITs; marketplace deals have separate sponsor-set acquisition/AMF/property management fee stacks per deal.
Separate platform-level feeConcreit Fund Management LLC: $5/month platform advisory fee on accounts under $5,000 (Form ADV Part 2A) — 6.0% effective annual drag at $1,000 AUM. RealtyMogul: RM Technologies LLC charges sponsors $1,500 per investor onboarded plus $125/quarter per investor on marketplace deals — paid by sponsor, but embedded in deal economics.
Primary tax formConcreit: 1099-DIV for both Fund I and Series LLC (REIT election). RealtyMogul: 1099-DIV for both REITs; K-1 for marketplace private placements; K-1 for 1031 DST structures. Multiple tax forms for investors holding both REIT and marketplace products.
Return-of-capital componentConcreit Fund I: cumulative ROC identity of $204,563 across FY2019–FY2025, reconciling to accumulated deficit. RealtyMogul: Income REIT FY2025 distributions ($5.47M) exceeded net income ($3.18M); Apartment Growth REIT distributions from a loss-making entity (now paused) included substantial ROC.
Liquidity — REIT/Reg A vehicleConcreit Fund I: 10% per 3-month rolling gate (~40% annualized), operational. Manager-discretion suspension authority on six enumerated triggers; 2024 OC permits use of offering proceeds for redemptions. RealtyMogul: both REIT share repurchase programs SUSPENDED April 21, 2026. No reinstatement timeline. No secondary market.
Liquidity — accredited productsConcreit: dormant Reg D Series 1 LLC ($0 raised across three-plus years). RealtyMogul: marketplace private placements illiquid 4–7 year holds; 1031 DST 5–10 year holds; no secondary market on any product.

The scenario illustrates the practical asymmetry today: a non-accredited investor with $25,000 can deploy into Concreit Fund I and Series LLC immediately, with a functioning Fund I redemption gate and weekly distributions. The same $25,000 cannot currently be deployed into a RealtyMogul product — both REITs are paused to new investors, and the marketplace requires accredited status and $35,000–$50,000 minimums. An accredited investor with $50,000 or more could access the Wideman marketplace today; that does not change the conclusion that for non-accredited retail in the $1K–$25K range, Concreit is currently the deployable platform of the two.

Before you invest

Most investors miss these — and they matter more than yield

The questions below matter most when evaluating either platform. Most investors only ask them after committing capital.

Which product am I actually buying?

Concreit: Fund I (debt-heavy pooled REIT, ~75% loan participations / ~25% equity, $1 minimum, weekly distributions) or Series LLC (per-property SFR equity, $1,000 minimum). RealtyMogul: Income REIT (paused, diversified commercial debt/equity), Apartment Growth REIT (paused, multifamily/industrial value-add), Wideman marketplace (open to accredited only, $35K–$50K minimum, currently four deals all Wideman-sponsored), or 1031 concierge (DST/TIC structures, contact-driven). These are very different products with different audit posture, fee architecture, and current operating state.

Where do the most material fees actually live?

Concreit Fund I: 1.0% base AMF surfaced on platform; Manager-discretion Special Servicing (1% on original loan value), Recovery Fee (1%, stacks with Special Servicing on the same loan), uncapped 'Other Fees' rate-differential capture, and 5% in-house property management require pulling the Management Compensation section of the OC. SEPARATELY, the $5/month platform-level advisory fee on accounts under $5,000 is disclosed in Form ADV Part 2A — not in the fund offering circulars. RealtyMogul REITs: 1% (Income) / 1.25% (Apartment Growth) AMF + 0.5% servicing + 1.0% special servicing + up to 3% org/offering costs disclosed in offering circulars. Marketplace: sponsor-set fees per deal (acquisition, AMF, property management, promote) disclosed in PPM; RM Technologies $1,500/investor + $125/quarter licensing layer disclosed on deal pages.

What does the audit actually say?

Concreit Fund I: across FY2019–FY2025, cumulative distributions ($2,091,583) exceed cumulative GAAP net income ($1,887,020) by $204,563 — a figure reconciling exactly to accumulated deficit on the FY2025 balance sheet. Going-concern carried FY2024, alleviated post-June 30 2025 requalification. Series LLC has used three different audit firms in three consecutive fiscal years. RealtyMogul: CohnReznick LLP clean opinion on both REITs. The clean opinion coexists with material adverse audit disclosures — Income REIT NAV declined from $10.05 (12/31/2023) to $7.49 (12/31/2025), Apartment Growth REIT FY2025 net loss $8.0M, Sherwood Oaks deed-in-lieu event (March 26, 2026), Lotus Village sold at -14.7% realized loss, Brooklyn Portfolio mortgage default. A clean opinion means the financials are fairly presented under GAAP — it does not mean the investments performed well.

What is the governance posture?

Concreit Fund I: Operating Agreement Section 5.2 contains express fiduciary duty waiver — Manager has waived duties of care and loyalty (permitted under Delaware LLC law). Investor Members cannot sue for breach of fiduciary duty, only for fraud, willful misconduct, or federal securities law violations. Plus mandatory arbitration, jury trial waiver, class action waiver, one-way fee-shifting on federal securities claims. Concreit Series LLC: Manager described as fiduciary. Captive transfer agent. RealtyMogul: RM Adviser LLC is an SEC-registered investment adviser; arbitration clauses in both REIT subscription agreements limit class action recourse. Following the November 2025 Wideman acquisition, the same entity (The Wideman Company) owns the platform, manages both REITs, and sponsors 100% of active marketplace deals — a disclosed structural conflict.

What does the active distress picture look like?

Concreit Fund I: Sanctuary Broadway Multifamily LLC ($200K equity position) was transferred at par to a Manager affiliate in FY2023 — no loan loss provision recorded. Columbia Pacific Income Fund I LP impairment of $125K marked down on FY2025 balance sheet with separate $125K Manager backstop. Founder ownership (Hsieh) declined from ~85% at inception to 0.74% by April 2026. RealtyMogul Apartment Growth REIT: Sherwood Oaks property transferred to lender via deed in lieu of foreclosure March 26, 2026 (first actual property loss in the REIT). Lotus Village sold May 27, 2025 at $32.85M vs $38.5M acquisition ($5.65M realized loss, -14.7%). Brooklyn Portfolio entered mortgage maturity default September 2, 2025 with no disclosed resolution. RealtyMogul Income REIT: NAV declined approximately 32% from peak ($11.00) to $7.49 over two years; distributions cut from 6% to 3%.

Is there any pre-maturity exit option?

Concreit Fund I: 10% of weighted-average outstanding Investor Shares per 3-month rolling period (~40% annualized capacity) — materially more permissive than many non-traded REIT redemption programs. Observed FY2023–FY2025 redemption volumes of 30–38% annualized confirm the gate has functioned. Manager retains sole discretion to amend or suspend the Redemption Plan under six enumerated triggers. 2024 OC explicitly authorizes use of offering proceeds for redemptions at Manager discretion. No secondary market. RealtyMogul: both REIT share repurchase programs SUSPENDED April 21, 2026. No reinstatement timeline disclosed. DRIPs also suspended. No secondary market for either REIT. Marketplace 4–7 year illiquid hold. 1031 DST 5–10 year illiquid hold. The 7,700 Income REIT investors and 3,600 Apartment Growth REIT investors cannot redeem through the REIT share repurchase programs at stated NAV while the programs remain suspended; reopening terms have not been disclosed.

What is the underlying product difference between Concreit and RealtyMogul?

Short answer

Concreit and RealtyMogul both use Regulation A to offer non-accredited investors access to real estate, but the products are very different. Concreit Fund I is a debt-heavy pooled REIT ($1 minimum, weekly distributions, ~$8.99M FY2025 AUM); Series LLC is per-property SFR equity ($1,000 minimum, ~$1.54M FY2025 AUM). RealtyMogul operates two non-traded REITs at $5,000 minimums targeting institutional commercial real estate ($288.7M and $157.3M audited total assets, both currently paused to new investors), an accredited-only marketplace at $35K–$50K minimums currently featuring exclusively Wideman Company deals, and a 1031 concierge for $5M+ exchanges. Investors choosing between them are answering different questions — for Concreit, whether the Operating Agreement governance is acceptable; for RealtyMogul, whether to wait for the Offering Circular refresh and at least one audited fiscal year under Wideman management.

Concreit's product architecture is concentrated. Concreit Fund I LLC is the operative debt-heavy REIT vehicle (~$8.99M FY2025 AUM) — a pooled fund targeting ~75% short-term real-estate-secured loan participations and ~25% equity in residential/commercial real estate. Distributions are weekly. The $1 minimum is among the lowest in fractional real estate. Concreit Series LLC (the newer per-property SFR vehicle, ~$1.54M FY2025 AUM) launched in 2023 with five properties (Belfort, Scotlyn, Monarch, Burlington, Crimson). Beyond the two active Reg A vehicles, Concreit operates Concreit Series 1 LLC (a Reg D 506(b) pooled fund filed April 2023 for $75M authorized but $0 raised across three-plus years — appears dormant), Concreit Transfer Services LLC (the captive SEC-registered transfer agent maintaining the securityholder ledger for both active Reg A vehicles), and Concreit Fund Management LLC (the SEC-registered investment adviser charging a separate platform-level $5/month flat fee on accounts under $5,000 per Form ADV Part 2A).

RealtyMogul's product architecture spans three investor tiers across a 13-year operating history. The Income REIT (CIK 0001669664, Reg A Tier 2, non-accredited eligible at $5,000 minimum, currently paused) has 7,700 investors, $148.2M raised, and $288.7M audited total assets at FY2025. The Apartment Growth REIT (CIK 0001699573, Reg A Tier 2, non-accredited eligible at $5,000, currently paused) has 3,600 investors, $66.3M raised, and $157.3M audited total assets. The accredited-only marketplace ($35K–$50K minimum) currently features exclusively Wideman Company-sponsored deals (FedEx Ground Portfolio, Truist Plaza, Gaia Herbs Distribution Center, RM Communities Distressed GP Fund). The 1031 exchange concierge offers DST and TIC structures, typically for $5M+ exchanges. Historically, RealtyMogul operated a numbered SPV series (RealtyMogul 66 through RealtyMogul 134) raising $128.7M across 43 EDGAR-verified Form D entities from 2,433 investors between 2017 and 2019 — the platform pivoted entirely to REITs in August 2019.

The structural difference matters: Concreit's two-vehicle architecture concentrates retail capital into Fund I's debt-heavy pooled fund or Series LLC's per-property SFR equity, with a captive transfer agent and a separately-registered RIA layering platform-level economics on top of fund-level fees. RealtyMogul's multi-tier architecture serves non-accredited retail (REITs, currently paused), accredited investors (marketplace, currently exclusively Wideman-sponsored), and large 1031 exchange clients (concierge model) — but the platform's economics shifted in November 2025 from fund manager with fiduciary obligations to technology licensor with disclaimer-heavy terms following the Wideman acquisition.

How does the operating status and disclosure picture compare?

Short answer

The two platforms are in materially different operating states today. Concreit is operational — Fund I open to new investments and Series LLC active with property-level availability subject to current offerings, Fund I's 10% per 3-month rolling redemption gate functional, and the FY2024 going-concern qualification alleviated after the June 30, 2025 Reg A requalification. The audited findings are governance and disclosure mechanics (cumulative $204,563 GAAP excess of distributions over net income reconciling to accumulated deficit; Operating Agreement Section 5.2 fiduciary duty waiver; Concreit Series LLC three-firm auditor sequence). RealtyMogul is in active platform restructuring — both REITs paused to new investors July 11, 2025, both share repurchase programs suspended April 21, 2026, Income REIT NAV declined 32% from peak, Apartment Growth REIT FY2025 disclosed a Sherwood Oaks deed-in-lieu event (March 2026), a realized loss on sale (Lotus Village -14.7%), and an unresolved mortgage default (Brooklyn Portfolio). Existing RealtyMogul REIT investors cannot redeem through the REIT share repurchase programs at stated NAV while the programs remain suspended.

Operating status is the single most material dimension separating these two platforms today. Both file annual audited 1-Ks with the SEC under Regulation A Tier 2 — that disclosure trail is substantial on both. The audited findings are very different in character.

Concreit's primary audited findings are governance and disclosure mechanics on a platform that is currently operating. Across seven fiscal years (FY2019–FY2025), Fund I's cumulative distributions of $2,091,583 exceed cumulative GAAP net income of $1,887,020 by $204,563. That excess reconciles exactly to the accumulated deficit on the FY2025 Statement of Financial Condition. Three of seven fiscal years show distributions in excess of cash provided by operating activities. The Operating Agreement and every offering circular explicitly authorize this — Section 4.1 permits distributions from any source including offering proceeds. The FY2025 1-K states verbatim that “distributions will constitute a return of capital to the extent that they exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits.” The disclosure is forthright; the editorial finding is that the documented risk has materialized cumulatively. Separately, Operating Agreement Section 5.2 contains an express fiduciary duty waiver (permitted under Delaware LLC law). Concreit Series LLC has used three different audit firms in three consecutive fiscal years on a vehicle holding approximately $1.54M in total assets. Concreit Transfer Services LLC's Form TA-2 FY2025 reports 5,207 securityholder accounts vs the ~40,000 “members” marketed on concreit.com — a 7.7x gap.

RealtyMogul's primary audited findings are realized portfolio events on products that are currently paused. The Income REIT's NAV declined from $10.05 (December 31, 2023) to $8.26 (December 31, 2024) to $7.49 (December 31, 2025) — a 25.5% decline over two years against an approximately 32% decline from the implied peak of $11.00. The distribution was cut from 6% to 3% in February 2025. FY2025 was technically profitable ($3.18M net income) but distributions paid ($5.47M) exceeded net income, confirming partial return of capital. The Apartment Growth REIT sustained two consecutive years of audited net losses (-$10.9M FY2024, -$8.0M FY2025), and FY2025 1-K disclosures included three material adverse events: Sherwood Oaks transferred to lender via deed in lieu of foreclosure March 26, 2026; Lotus Village sold May 27, 2025 at $32.85M vs $38.5M acquisition price ($5.65M realized loss, -14.7%); Brooklyn Portfolio entered mortgage maturity default September 2, 2025 with no disclosed resolution path. Distributions paused January 2026. Both REIT share repurchase programs suspended April 21, 2026. The platform was acquired November 6, 2025 by The Wideman Company; founder Jilliene Helman resigned; the marketplace now features exclusively Wideman-sponsored deals.

Neither platform's disclosure architecture is superior in aggregate — they surface different structural mechanics in different operating states. Concreit's findings are governance and disclosure-mechanic issues on a platform that continues to accept new investments and process redemptions. RealtyMogul's findings are realized portfolio events documented in clean-opinion audits on products that are currently paused to new investors and have suspended redemptions. Both platforms reward investors who read primary documents. The editorial finding in either case is not that information is hidden — it is that the audited findings tell different stories than the platform marketing alone.

How do tax mechanics compare across the two platforms?

Short answer

Concreit is operationally simpler at the tax form level: 1099-DIV for both Fund I and Series LLC (REIT election), no K-1s, generally low UBTI risk in IRAs, qualified REIT dividends may be eligible for the Section 199A 20% pass-through deduction. RealtyMogul issues 1099-DIV on its two REITs but K-1 on marketplace private placements and 1031 DST structures — investors holding multiple RealtyMogul products receive multiple tax forms with different timing (K-1s may require extensions). For both platforms, a portion of REIT distributions is likely characterized as return of capital reducing cost basis. Concreit Fund I's cumulative $204,563 GAAP excess across FY2019–FY2025 reconciles to accumulated deficit. RealtyMogul Income REIT FY2025 distributions ($5.47M) exceeded net income ($3.18M). Apartment Growth REIT distributions were drawn from a loss-making entity (now paused).

Tax mechanics differ materially across the two platforms because the product mix differs. Concreit's two active vehicles are both REIT-elected and issue 1099-DIV — operationally simpler than partnership-structured alternatives. RealtyMogul's REITs are also 1099-DIV, but its marketplace private placements and 1031 DST structures issue K-1s — meaning an investor holding both REIT shares and a marketplace deal receives multiple tax documents with different timing characteristics.

Tax FactorConcreitRealtyMogul
Primary tax form1099-DIV for both Fund I and Series LLC (REIT election)1099-DIV for both REITs; K-1 for marketplace; K-1 for 1031 DST
K-1 exposureNone on active Reg A vehiclesMarketplace deals issue K-1s (extensions likely); 1031 DST issues K-1
Timing1099-DIV typically by mid-February1099-DIV (REITs) typically by mid-February; K-1 (marketplace, DST) may be delayed to September-October if underlying partnerships file extensions
Section 199A deductionMay apply to qualified REIT dividends (20% pass-through)May apply to qualified REIT dividends (20% pass-through); marketplace K-1s pass through deal tax attributes including depreciation
Return of capital componentFund I cumulative ROC identity: $204,563 across FY2019–FY2025, reconciling to accumulated deficitIncome REIT FY2025: distributions ($5.47M) exceeded net income ($3.18M) — partial ROC. Apartment Growth REIT: distributions from loss-making entity (now paused) included substantial ROC.
Multi-state filingNo (REIT income at investor level)No on REITs; marketplace K-1s may create multi-state nexus depending on underlying CRE holdings
UBTI risk for IRALow — REIT dividends generally do not generate UBTILow on REITs; material on marketplace (levered operating partnership income may generate UBTI)
IRA suitabilitySuitable. Fund I weekly distributions support tax-free compounding in Roth or RMD coverage in Traditional. Illiquidity considerations apply.REITs suitable but currently paused; suspended redemptions create RMD planning risk for investors 73+. Marketplace: UBTI risk warrants adviser consultation.

For an investor whose objective is single-form tax simplicity at the smallest possible check size, Concreit's 1099-DIV-only structure across both active Reg A vehicles is operationally cleaner than RealtyMogul's mixed REIT-and-marketplace product suite. For investors specifically wanting CRE depreciation passthrough through partnership K-1s, the RealtyMogul marketplace captures features Concreit's REIT structure does not — at the cost of additional tax-document complexity and extension risk. Cost-basis tracking for return-of-capital distributions is downstream work for investors on both platforms; the cumulative ROC identity on Concreit Fund I and the audited Income REIT distribution-exceeds-net-income mechanic both contribute to basis reduction over time.

Editorial principles

Hedged language on contested figures. Direct labeling when multiple methodologies disagree (platform-reported figures vs audited entity-level data; marketing “members” vs Form TA-2 securityholder count; product page “total asset value” vs audited balance sheet). Verbatim quotation from audited reports and offering documents where material. AltStreet has no compensated relationship with either platform — no affiliate, sponsored, or paid links.

Final View

Same regulatory wrapper. Very different operating realities.

The honest framing for this comparison: Concreit and RealtyMogul are not interchangeable alternatives competing for the same allocation slot. Concreit is a smaller, currently operational Reg A platform with documented Operating Agreement governance trade-offs and a cumulative GAAP return-of-capital identity on Fund I. RealtyMogul is a larger Reg A platform with a 13-year operating history and materially greater audited scale, but currently in platform restructuring with suspended REIT redemptions and a portfolio that has produced an audited Sherwood Oaks deed-in-lieu event, a realized loss on sale, and an unresolved mortgage default.

The decision is not which platform is better in aggregate. It is which product within each platform fits the investor's objective and the current operating state. For non-accredited retail seeking weekly distribution cadence at the lowest possible check size with a functioning redemption gate today, Concreit Fund I is structurally available — with disciplined reading of the Operating Agreement Section 5.2 fiduciary duty waiver, the Form ADV Part 2A platform-level $5/month advisory fee disclosure, and the seven-year cumulative GAAP excess reconciliation. For accredited investors seeking institutional CRE deal-by-deal selection, RealtyMogul's Wideman-sponsored marketplace is the current deployable option — with the disciplined caveat that the platform owner, REIT manager, and sole marketplace sponsor are the same entity. AltStreet's full reviews provide the deeper decision frameworks: the Concreit review covers the cumulative ROC identity, the two parallel governance regimes, the Series LLC three-firm auditor sequence, the captive transfer agent structure, and the regressive platform-level advisory fee; the RealtyMogul review covers the Wideman acquisition mechanics, the Apartment Growth REIT deed-in-lieu event and realized loss on sale, the Income REIT NAV trajectory, the technology licensing model shift, and the broker-dealer withdrawal.

Neither platform is risk-free. Concreit: express fiduciary duty waiver on Fund I; cumulative GAAP excess of distributions over net income reconciling to accumulated deficit; three audit firms in three years on Series LLC; captive transfer agent; related-party at-par transfer of Sanctuary Broadway to Manager affiliate; regressive $5/month platform-level advisory fee on small accounts; founder ownership decline from ~85% to 0.74% across 2025. RealtyMogul: both REIT share repurchase programs suspended with no reinstatement timeline; Income REIT NAV -32% from peak; Apartment Growth REIT audited Sherwood Oaks deed-in-lieu event, realized loss on sale (Lotus Village -14.7%), unresolved Brooklyn Portfolio mortgage default; RM Securities broker-dealer registration withdrawn July 2025; structural conflict of interest with The Wideman Company simultaneously platform owner, REIT manager, and sole active marketplace sponsor; no public Wideman Company standalone financials. These are real diligence inputs, not deal-breakers — but they require honest underwriting before any allocation.

AltStreet verdict

Choose by current operating state. Concreit Fund I is deployable today for non-accredited retail. RealtyMogul is structurally an institutional CRE platform but currently in platform restructuring — existing investors wait, new accredited investors evaluate Wideman marketplace deals on their own merits.

The asymmetry between the two platforms is not preferential — it reflects different scales, different product architectures, and very different current operating states. Both have earned their slots through verifiable Reg A filing trails. The remaining caveats on each (Concreit's ROC identity, fiduciary waiver, and Series LLC auditor instability; RealtyMogul's suspended redemptions, Sherwood Oaks deed-in-lieu event, and Wideman conflict of interest) warrant honest underwriting before allocation rather than disqualification on sight.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are Concreit and RealtyMogul direct substitutes?

No. They share a regulatory wrapper — both operate Regulation A Tier 2 REIT-elected vehicles open to non-accredited US investors — but the products serve different objectives. Concreit Fund I is a debt-heavy pooled fund ($1 minimum, weekly distributions, ~75% short-term real-estate-secured loan participations, ~25% equity) with combined platform AUM around $10.5M. RealtyMogul operates two non-traded REITs at $5,000 minimums targeting institutional commercial real estate — the Income REIT ($288.7M audited total assets, FY2025) and the Apartment Growth REIT ($157.3M audited total assets, FY2025) — plus an accredited-only marketplace at $35,000–$50,000 minimums. Both RealtyMogul REITs are currently paused to new investors with suspended share repurchase programs (April 21, 2026). Concreit's Fund I redemption gate is operational. The platforms compete for some of the same retail capital but offer materially different exposures.

2. What is the actual scale of each platform?

Concreit: 5,207 verified securityholder accounts as of December 31, 2025 per Form TA-2 FY2025 signed by Sean Hsieh personally as CEO of Concreit Transfer Services LLC, vs approximately 40,000 'members' marketed on concreit.com — a 7.7x gap between regulatory primary source and marketing. Combined audited AUM approximately $10.5M (Fund I ~$8.99M + Series LLC ~$1.54M). RealtyMogul: platform-reported 300,000+ members and $1.2B+ capital deployed since 2012, with audited entity-level figures of $148.2M raised in the Income REIT (7,700 investors) and $66.3M raised in the Apartment Growth REIT (3,600 investors), plus $128.7M raised across 43 EDGAR-verified historical Form D SPVs (2,433 investors, 2017–2019 vintage). RealtyMogul is materially larger by every audited and platform-reported measure.

3. What is the current operating status of each platform?

Concreit is currently operational. Fund I is open to new investments; Series LLC remains an active Reg A vehicle with property-level offerings subject to availability. Fund I's redemption gate (10% of weighted-average outstanding Investor Shares per 3-month rolling period, ~40% annualized capacity) has been functioning, with observed FY2023–FY2025 redemption volumes of 30–38% annualized. Going-concern qualification carried in FY2024 was alleviated after the June 30, 2025 Reg A requalification. RealtyMogul is in active platform restructuring following the November 6, 2025 acquisition by The Wideman Company. Both REITs paused to new investors July 11, 2025. Income REIT distribution cut from 6% to 3% in February 2025. Apartment Growth REIT distributions paused January 2026. Both REIT share repurchase programs and DRIPs suspended April 21, 2026 with no disclosed reinstatement timeline. Sherwood Oaks property transferred to lender via deed in lieu of foreclosure March 26, 2026. Brooklyn Portfolio entered mortgage maturity default September 2, 2025 with no disclosed resolution.

4. What is the minimum investment on each platform?

Concreit: $1 minimum on Fund I (among the lowest in fractional real estate); $1,000 minimum on Concreit Series LLC. RealtyMogul: $5,000 minimum on both the Income REIT and Apartment Growth REIT (both currently paused), $35,000–$50,000 minimum on the accredited-only Wideman Company marketplace deals (Reg D 506(b) or 506(c) depending on deal). The Reg A vehicles on both platforms are subject to the Tier 2 cap of 10% of the greater of annual income or net worth per individual offering for non-accredited investors. Concreit's $1 Fund I minimum is structurally more accessible than RealtyMogul's $5,000, though Concreit's separately-registered $5/month platform-level advisory fee on accounts under $5,000 (Form ADV Part 2A) creates regressive economics on small accounts — 6.0% effective annual drag at $1,000 AUM, waived above $5,000.

5. How do the tax mechanics compare?

Concreit: 1099-DIV for both Fund I and Series LLC (REIT election) — no K-1s, no multi-state filing complexity, generally low UBTI risk in IRAs, Section 199A 20% pass-through deduction may apply to qualified REIT dividends. RealtyMogul: mixed tax forms by product — 1099-DIV for both REITs (Income REIT and Apartment Growth REIT), K-1 for marketplace private placements (partnership structure), K-1 for 1031 exchange DST structures. Investors holding both REIT shares and marketplace interests will receive multiple tax documents with different timing. For both platforms: a portion of REIT distributions is likely characterized as return of capital. Concreit Fund I's cumulative $204,563 GAAP excess of distributions over net income across FY2019–FY2025 reconciles exactly to accumulated deficit. RealtyMogul Income REIT FY2025: $5.47M in distributions paid against $3.18M net income — also partial return of capital. Apartment Growth REIT distributions (now paused) were drawn from a loss-making entity.

6. What is the fee structure on each platform?

Concreit Fund I (May 2021 PPM, unchanged through 2024 OC): 1.0% per annum asset management on NAV, 1.0%/1.5%/0.75% tiered acquisition fee, 5.0% in-house property management on gross rents, 0.50% loan servicing (Manager-waivable), 1.0% Special Servicing Fee on non-performing loan original value (Manager-classified), uncapped 'Other Fees' rate-differential capture (Manager-determined inputs), 1.0% Recovery Fee stacking with Special Servicing, 1.0% Financing Fee, 0.25% Disposition Fee, 1.0% Dalmore selling commission. SEPARATELY, Concreit Fund Management LLC charges a $5/month platform-level advisory fee on accounts under $5,000 (Form ADV Part 2A). RealtyMogul Income REIT: 1% AMF + 0.5% servicing + 1.0% special servicing + up to 3% organizational/offering costs. Apartment Growth REIT: 1.25% AMF + same servicing structure. Marketplace deals: sponsor-set fees vary by deal (FedEx Ground example: 2% acquisition + 1.5% AMF + 2% property management); RM Technologies charges sponsors $1,500 per investor onboarded plus $125/quarter per investor as a separate technology licensing layer.

7. What about audit quality, regulatory standing, and governance?

Concreit Fund I: auditor Aprio LLP (FY2022, FY2024, FY2025; FY2023 confirmation pending manual verification); prior dbb mckennon (FY2019–FY2021); one transition since inception. Concreit Series LLC: three different audit firms in three consecutive fiscal years — Duner & Foote (FY2023), dbb mckennon (FY2024), Aprio LLP (FY2025). Captive transfer agent (Concreit Transfer Services LLC) rather than independent third party. Fund I Operating Agreement Section 5.2 contains express fiduciary duty waiver; Series LLC offering circular preserves Manager fiduciary language. RealtyMogul: auditor CohnReznick LLP, clean opinions on both REITs across multiple years (despite the Sherwood Oaks deed-in-lieu event and realized losses; clean opinion means the financials are fairly presented under GAAP, not that the investments performed well). RM Adviser LLC is an SEC-registered investment adviser. RM Securities broker-dealer registration withdrew July 11, 2025. Arbitration clauses in both REIT subscription agreements limit class action recourse. Following the November 2025 Wideman acquisition, the same entity (The Wideman Company) owns the platform, manages both REITs through RM Adviser LLC, and sponsors all four active marketplace deals — a disclosed but structural conflict.

8. Which platform has better liquidity right now?

Concreit Fund I, by a clear margin in current operating state. The Fund I 10% of weighted-average outstanding Investor Shares per 3-month rolling period gate (~40% annualized capacity) is functioning and observed redemption volumes of 30–38% annualized confirm the gate has cleared. Manager retains sole discretion to amend or suspend the Redemption Plan under six enumerated triggers, and the 2024 OC explicitly authorizes use of offering proceeds to fund redemptions at Manager discretion — meaning capacity depends in part on continued subscription flow. No secondary market on Concreit. RealtyMogul: both REIT share repurchase programs SUSPENDED April 21, 2026. No reinstatement timeline disclosed. No secondary market for either REIT. DRIPs also suspended. The 7,700 Income REIT investors and 3,600 Apartment Growth REIT investors cannot redeem through the REIT share repurchase programs at stated NAV while the programs remain suspended; reopening terms have not been published. Marketplace private placements: illiquid 4–7 year hold periods, no secondary market. For investors who prioritize the option to exit before maturity, Concreit's structure is materially more permissive today.
