I’ve had the pleasure of investing with Jay and David for several years, and the experience has been outstanding. The returns have consistently met or exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend working with them.

The prospectus was clear and concise. After I made the investment, the principals of the company gave me a tour of the complex and pointed out the improvements that were being made. It seemed likely that refreshing both the interior and exterior of the property would result in a much improved income stream. I made this investment less than a year ago, so the eventual ROI is an unknown. However, based on their efforts, I am very optimistic.

We are invested in one deal with Arrowpoint Properties. Arrowpoint identified and capitalized on the opportunity to complete the renovation programme ahead of schedule which will benefit the deal in the longer term. The reporting is transparent and clear with the sponsor providing regular income statements and balance sheet disclosing all financing data. About two years into the deal there's a slight outperformance of the projected returns, the communication with investors has been sound.

My second investment with the GP. The first provided excellent returns albeit the capital was returned sooner than I would have liked. But it's hard to argue with success. This second investment is in its initial stages. As with the prior investment, the explanation of the reason for investing was clear. The communications are regular and current, i.e., quarterly and within one to two weeks of quarter end. The ongoing explanations for changes in the balance sheet and income statements are clear and the text matches/agrees with the numbers. The GP is always available for an email or phone call. The GP has extensive experience in taking somewhat "old and tired" apartments and bringing them up to date with a commensuerate change in rental income. The GP also stays within his gepgraphical knowledge base - sticks to his knitting - which provides added assurance.

Over the years, I have had relationships with several investment firms. Now that I have some experience and points of reference, I am glad to endorse Wellings Capital. I have invested with Wellings for some time now, and what stands out to me is their unwavering dedication to meticulous due diligence. They take the time to assess every opportunity thoroughly before making any decisions. I am confident in this statement because their regular, detailed reporting means I’m always in the loop. I appreciate how they consistently take the time to explain their thinking and provide clarity around their strategies. Most critically, they stick to the sound principles they espouse and do not chase after overly speculative returns. This thoughtful, long-term, and transparent approach is why I trust them with my investments.

After exiting some familial real estate investments in 2021, I sought out a trusted partner to help diversify my traditional stock portfolio. My main criteria were track record, honesty, and process. The team at Wellings Capital fulfilled all these criteria and more. Even then, I started out with a smaller investment. After witnessing the process and due diligence, I have continued to add to the funds and am looking forward to future funds.

I have invested in two Criterion CRE offerings both of which have gone full cycle. They have exceeded my expectations. I have met the partners in person in their office and they are experienced professionals. They publish regular updates and provide timely K1s which is important to my CPA and I. I am looking to invest in another Criterion deal as I prefer CRE with a good sponsor over the stock market.

I have been investing with Holdfolio for about a decade. I really value their customer service, transparency, and overall, the deals that I have invested in have been great. I really like that they've NEVER tried to sell me on investing with them. I get to see what deals they are investing in and participate in the ones I like best. Their low minimums help me diversify, which is very important to me.

I have invested with TJ in multiple deals now. TJ is great at communication up-front, and afterwards he is even better. He has a variety of mediums of communication (email, discord) and I enjoy his regular updates. Compared to some other groups I have invested in, TJ has shown better communication and better timeliness on tax documents. I have a lot of trust in TJ and would be likely to continue investing with him in the future.

I have invested in three funds: - Texas 3 pack whose distributions are currently paused - Fund 8 and 9 who distributions have always been below proforma and close to be paused as per the most recent communication All the above investments are performing significantly below proforma and also well below new lowered budgets. @Brandon I beg you come back to work and help your team through these difficult times. What legacy are you leaving when you disappeared in the toughest moment and appeared on the last webinar just to say sorry!? Come back to actively work and out your wisdom and energy at the service of humble investors that trusted you.

I am a pretty active real estate investor whose been involved in over 80+ deals across 45+ different sponsors. I met Andy when he was working for another firm and decided to give Criterion a chance after having a really good conversation with him shortly after he joined Criterion. I started investing with Criterion in July 2024 and have had two deals already go full cycle that achieved very respectable IRRs in a short time period. I'm also invested in three other deals with Criterion that have strong return potential and I'm confident that Andy and the Criterion team will do their absolute best to meet or exceed the proformas. After dealing with over 45 sponsors, I can honestly say that there's only about 8 that I would ever considering investing with again and Criterion is near the top of that list. I look forward to investing with Andy and Criterion for many years to come because I trust them to be good fiduciaries with my money.

I’m a passive investor and have been investing with Spark since the early —and I couldn’t be more pleased. Arn is incredibly knowledgeable, an operator with deep experience in the real estate industry who has successfully navigated both up and down cycles. He knows how to operate in all market conditions. He is always willing to educate and clearly explain things. The team is quick to respond and extremely transparent in their communication. Arn, Brian, and Dan complement each other perfectly. Brian’s boots-on-the-ground presence as a property manager, combined with his strong local knowledge, gives Spark a real competitive edge. They have also built valuable relationships in the areas where they invest. Spark provides consistent and transparent monthly updates, and Dan ensures they’re always among the first to deliver tax documents and other reporting. Overall, I’ve had a fantastic experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Spark to anyone considering passive real estate investing. Happy to connect with anyone that has questions

We've had the opportunity to invest in three separate Criterion Fund projects over the past 18 months. Criternion Fund representatives have always done a great job clearly communicating the project attributes in advance of our investments. The project descriptions and pro-formas are easy to understand and help us make good investing decisions. If unexpected surprises pop up prior to or during the investment lifespan (positive or negative) the team does a great job communicating in a timely and transparent manner. We have been very satisfied with the returns generated during our time with Criterion. IRR and cash-on-cash returns have hit or surpassed the targets established at time of investment, indicating the team does a great job managing the revenue, cost and investment aspects of each project. We've found the team to be very responsive to our questions and very helpful as we've performed our pre-investment due diligence activities. We'd highly recommend the Criterion Fund as an excellent source of real estate investment opportunities. We will continue to invest with the team and look forward to continued great results.

I've invested in many real estate syndications across 9 or 10 sponsors. Criterion has by far been my favorite. If you have questions, they are always easy to get ahold of and will actually answer questions. The deal structures they bring are straight forward and easy to understand. No BS and no shenanigans. Their underwriting always seems to be on the conservative side. My first deal with them was around 18 months ago and I currently have eight active deals with them. One has already gone full cycle and sold for greater than the pro forma estimate. They truly appear to care about the quality of the deals for investors unlike some of my other sponsors who seem to be about milking fee collection. I have not done any real estate investments in the last 18 months other than with Criterion.

I have invested in 3 deals with Criterion, one completed above target IRR and 2 are showing good progress. This is a lot better than many other sponsors who are either doing capital calls or underperforming proforma. Being a small fund i was skeptical at first, but after trying out a couple and seeing good progress i am adding this sponsor to my list to add to. I have primarily invested in construction projects with them, where i believe the bigger value add is. They also do cash flowing shopping centers which i havent invested yet but intend to

I am a long term real estate investor with over 25 years of experience. I have worked with countless firms/funds/sponsors and syndicators. As such I believe it carries a lot of weight when I say my experience with The Criterion Fund and especially Andy Thelen has been top notch. They are hungry, find good deals with upside and deliver on them. I'm about to enter my 4th deal with them in less than a year and look forward to doing many more. I highly recommend this group.
