Understanding returns by risk profile
In commercial real estate investing, there are four common risk profiles: core, core-plus, value-add, and opportunistic. Less risky investments may target lower returns but are generally considered a “safer bet.”In commercial real estate, this means the property is generating stable cash flow but likely won’t appreciate dramatically. Riskier opportunities target higher returns to justify the risk to investors. For commercial real estate, this might mean the property isn’t generating any cash flow but instead targets one big payday when the property sells or refinances.
Opportunistic Deals
We categorize opportunistic investments as those that target the highest returns, but also bear the most risk. These properties include ground-up development, have little to no cash flow, and often have the most complicated business plans.
To date, CrowdStreet investors have invested in 146 opportunistic deals and 10 have fully realized.

Realized Opportunistic Deals
Value-Add Deals
We classify value-add investments as projects that aim to significantly increase cash flow and the value of the property over time by making dramatic improvements to the property.
As one of the most common risk profiles on the Marketplace, CrowdStreet investors have invested in 243 value-add deals to date. 30 have fully realized.

Realized Value-Add Deals
Core-Plus Deals
We categorize core-plus investments as high-quality properties that are mostly occupied but have set aside some of the monthly income for future maintenance and upgrades, meaning there is less stable cash flow for investors.
Since 2014, CrowdStreet investors have invested in 80 core-plus deals and 5 have fully realized.

Realized Core-Plus Deals
Core Deals
We classify core investments as those with stable, predictable cash flow. They are usually fully-occupied, need no major improvements, and are in major markets. These are considered the least risky investment type.
CrowdStreet investors have had the opportunity to invest in 11 core deals and 0 have fully realized.
