EquityMultiple vs Yieldstreet (rebranded Willow Wealth, late 2025)

CRE investing platform for accredited investors (equity, debt, preferred equity)

Relevant to accredited individual investors wanting direct access to sponsor-led CRE deals across equity, debt, and preferred equity structures — a reasonably diversified deal-type offering versus single-strategy platforms. As with any crowdfunding-style platform, the real risk sits with sponsor and deal quality, not the platform itself, so investors should underwrite each deal independently rather than trusting platform curation alone; this is not relevant to institutional acquirers or anyone outside the passive-investor audience.

Alternative investment platform incl. real estate, acquired Cadre Jan 2024

Buyer: approach with real caution here -- retail alternative-investment buyers considering real estate exposure through this platform should know it rebranded away from the Yieldstreet name in late 2025 after significant reported cumulative losses. Strength: broad alternative-asset platform breadth, including real estate offerings inherited from the Cadre acquisition. Caveat: the reported $208M+ cumulative losses and rebrand to Willow Wealth are material red flags -- do real diligence on current management, track record, and fee structure under the new name before committing capital, not just the marketing.
