I invested in 2022 on a property…
I invested in 2022 on a property located it Montreal.
The returns are almost inexistant. I invested a low amount of 500$, received 20$ and since 2024 no more returns.
I tried to withdraw my funds and sell my participation and even in losing mode, im not able to go forward with the withdrawal.
Now we are in 2026, no communication, no updates, no response from my messages on Discords or by using their website.
Even for passive income, it seems not a great choice.
Keep in mind, the contract sign, don't guarantee any returns.

The concept is great/Weak on execution
The concept is great. Interface is easy. However, since they've added Atlas and Equivesto, it's been all downhill.
1) no customer support...try finding info to get help outside of their FAQ's
2) try getting your money out. After any payment into your "wallet" you can't get your money with out divulging your own bankcard and password credentials to a 3rd party !!
To be fair, i've made my money back.....if I can get it back from Addy.

Beware! Scam Artists At Work
Prior to my husband's passing in 2023, he started investing with Addy. He was intrigued by it and was cautiously optimistic. He started investing with a small amount to see what it was about and how things would go.
Unfortunately, not too long after this, he got sick and passed away.
After he passed, I wanted to close his account as I really wasn't interested in continuing with them and quite frankly, I was skeptical (which was part of the reason why the initial investment was so small).
First, I had to prove he had passed - which is understandable.
Then, to withdraw the cash that was in the account, I would have to provide my banking information.
Given today's environment, I didn't want to do that. I didn't want to possibly open myself up to fraud or a further scam.
Further correspondence was ignored and finally 2 years later, I received an answer from them.
They could cut me a cheque for the balance but there are fees associated with that.
$50 plus GST to get the money.
The cash balance on the account was only $80!
I ended up telling them to keep my money.
I know, for a fact, that if my husband knew of all I had to go through after he passed away, he wouldn't have invested with them.
Also, if I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have helped him open an account and fund it.
Stay away from these scam artists.
Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is !

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration you’ve felt. We want to be clear—addy is not a scam. We are a platform that enables registered Exempt Market Dealers and their Issuers to bring opportunities to members.
That said, real estate investing does involve risk, and unfortunately, some issuers have run into significant challenges due to market volatility. For example, Forge & Foster, who were the issuer of some offerings on the platform, experienced dramatic failures across many of their properties, which has impacted investors. Situations like these are extremely disappointing for everyone involved. You can read more about Forge and Foster in many news articles.
As with all private market real estate investments, it’s important that each investor conducts their own due diligence before committing funds. Every offering includes detailed disclosure documents, financial information, and risk factors provided by the issuer to help investors make informed decisions. While addy provides access and transparency, the responsibility for reviewing and understanding these materials ultimately rests with each investor.
We also apologize if you haven’t received timely responses from our support team. That’s not the level of service we aim to provide. We will look for your email and follow up directly.

We believe everyone should have the chance to build wealth through real estate, regardless of their starting point.
It’s important to clarify that addy does not make investment decisions on behalf of members. Each member chooses which properties to invest in and how much to invest—if at all. Investment information, including risks and financial details, is provided by the Issuer through a detailed due diligence process, which members are encouraged to review thoroughly before deciding to invest.
Since our launch, there have been over 55 opportunities on the addy platform. Some of these have already successfully exited, while others have encountered challenges along the way. Many, however, are long-term projected holds—typically 3 to 10 years—meaning it will take time before their full performance can be measured.
Real estate investing, like any form of investing, carries risks—including the possibility of delays, underperformance, or loss of capital. While we understand how frustrating it can be when things don’t go as expected, these are part of the inherent risks of investing.
Thank you again for your feedback—it helps us continue to improve.
In response to the comment from Addy…
In response to the comment from Addy re: no end date. That is not very clear when entering into Addy that there is no end date. When you read their prospective it talks about a 5 year IRR. It left me with the impression that the pay out was in 5 years, I still had the view until today. Very poorly written. Remember this is not an investment company. I believe I read some where that they are a software company.
You basically see no money coming back to you, but you lock your investment money in. Then you find there is no way of exiting the investment. So who is making the money? Not you, maybe ADdy? Seems like free money from investors.
I tried to see where I could designate a beneficiary. No can’t do that either. At 65 I was looking at how my family could at least get my investment out. No. Doesn’t seem like that is clear either. There is a comment that Addy would honor a will. But that’s not clear either as it just puts them in the same position. I’ve probably made less then $45 on $1700 in 3 years. That was only paid by 1 company, the others have paid 0 so far. I deal in the stock market a bit and have some knowledge in ETF’s, stocks, etc, but I thought I’d try this out. I quickly learned that there were more cons then pros. Poor investment and would not recommend.

Thank you for your feedback.
To clarify, all investment opportunities on addy come with *projected* timelines and returns, not guarantees. 5-year IRR mentioned in offering documents is an estimate provided by the Issuer, who also controls the timing of any exit or payout. These investments are illiquid, which is noted in the Risk Acknowledgement Form signed at the time of investment - https://learning.addyinvest.com/what-is-form-45-110f2
Regarding beneficiaries, while there isn’t a built-in feature to assign one on the platform, members should consult a professional to assist in dealing with their assets, wills, etc. https://learning.addyinvest.com/can-i-list-a-beneficiary-for-my-investment

Thank you for sharing this feedback. We're truly sorry to hear about your in-laws’ experience and understand how upsetting this situation must have felt.
We want to clarify that while our team may have informed them that an early exit from an investment isn’t straightforward, they absolutely would not have been told to “piss off.” We hold ourselves to a high standard of professionalism and respect, and if the tone ever felt otherwise, we sincerely apologize.

When someone invests, they are buying shares in a specific entity for a projected timeline. These timelines—and the very illiquid nature of the investments—are clearly outlined in the due diligence materials available before each offering. That said, there are some options available for investors looking to exit early, and we’ve outlined them here - https://learning.addyinvest.com/faq-can-i-sell-my-shares

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience — we understand how upsetting it can be to see an investment not go as hoped. We're truly sorry to hear that the project you chose didn’t meet your expectations.
At addy, our mission is to make real estate investing accessible, enabling Canadians to invest with no minimum amount in opportunities that have traditionally been limited to high-net-worth or institutional investors. We believe that everyone deserves the chance to build wealth through real estate, regardless of their starting point.
That said, it’s important to note that everyone chooses which opportunities to invest in (or not invest in) and how much they wish to invest (Min. is $1). As part of the process, members also review and sign legal agreements with the Issuer that outline the terms of the investment, including the associated risks — such as the possibility of not recovering the full amount invested. While unfortunate, risk is an inherent part of all investments, and it's something every investor needs to weigh carefully when making their decisions.
We’re continually working to improve the platform. Your feedback is invaluable in that effort, and we truly appreciate you sharing it.
Two out of three properties have failed…
Two out of three properties have failed to deliver any return. They are either foreclosed or stalled indefinitely. I am glad I only invested a small amount. Still waiting to hear about the third property but not expecting much.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND investing with Addy. The developers that use Addy crowdfunding are the type that don't invest their own money, they use "other peoples money" therefore if the property fails they don't lose money, therefore no incentive to make it a success.

You're absolutely right that some opportunities carry a higher risk profile, which is why Issuers provide detailed due diligence packages so that members can review and decide what aligns best with their goals and risk tolerance. It's all about putting the power in your hands.

It seems like it's a very poorly managed establishment. Needles to say, I will no longer be "investing" with them. I lost a decent amount due to a "promising" opportunity property, but ultimately foreclosed. Can only hope the other properties get me my principal back. Super glad I didn't invest anymore than I did. Never again.

3 Properties, all Losers
I purchased an interest in 3 properties a couple of years ago. I have been investing in real estate for 30 years but I’m no longer interested in doing it on my own. I pulled back after the initial 3 because I wanted to see how things went. It was clear this was a young company.
Fast forward to today… every one of the properties is a fail. One is the subject of litigation, one was put up for power of sale. The third, in BC escapes my memory.
I have now accepted that I won’t see profits and will be lucky to see any of my investment back. Would NEVER recommend them.
UPDATE May 22, 2025
Addy responded to my review and is shifting the blame to me. First of all, the 55 properties that they refer to were not available at the time I signed up with them. Back then there were less than 10. If all of my three selections were a fail, and I essentially ended up losing my investment that would give Addy a 30% failure rate in the best case scenario. Maybe they’re doing better now and as an early investor I got the brunt of their learning experience but the bottom line is zero return on investment for me.

Since launching, there have been 55 opportunities on the addy platform, and while some have faced challenges, many others are performing well. Each offering is different, and the outcome depends on the individual property and the Issuer's business plan.
