Reinvest24
Real Estate Finance🇪🇪 Estonia
Reinvest24 launched in Tallinn in 2018 with a model that was genuinely more interesting than most of the property crowdfunding wave it belonged to. Instead of funding property-backed loans — the EstateGuru approach, where investors hold debt secured against real estate — Reinvest24 sold fractional ownership. Investors put in as little as €100 and became part-owners of a rental property through a special purpose vehicle, collecting a share of the monthly rent plus any capital appreciation when the property sold. Equity rather than debt, yield plus upside, and for a while it worked: the platform grew across Estonia, Latvia, Moldova, Germany, and Spain, attracting roughly 25,000 registered investors and funding in the range of €30–40 million in projects during its 2018–2022 growth years under CEO Tanel Orro.
The unravelling began in 2023, and its causes are a compact catalogue of platform risk. The EU's crowdfunding regulation became mandatory in November 2023, requiring every platform to hold an ECSP authorisation to raise money from European retail investors — Reinvest24 never obtained one, which legally ended its ability to fund new projects. Its Spanish projects drew a public warning from the Spanish regulator. And at the centre of the crisis sat a related-party problem: KIRSAN, a group holding a reported 18% stake in the platform, was simultaneously one of its largest borrowers through the Moldovan project portfolio. When a shareholder is also your biggest credit exposure, trouble at the borrower becomes trouble everywhere, and that is what happened.
As of mid-2026 the picture, as documented by independent platform trackers, is bleak. Withdrawals have not been processed for more than a year. The entire outstanding portfolio — roughly €26 million — is in recovery. Regulators in Estonia, Spain, and Norway have issued public warnings, new fundraising is prohibited, and the Estonian business registry shows the operating company reduced to a single employee. Legal proceedings connected to the KIRSAN group are ongoing in Moldova, where the process has itself been turbulent, including the detention of insolvency administrators and the resignation of a judge cited in the investigations. Independent reviewers now describe the platform as being in a slow-motion wind-down; the company itself has not announced a formal liquidation.
Reinvest24 remains listed here for the same reason this database lists it honestly: people searching for it deserve the current facts. Notably, affiliate review sites were still publishing positive "hands-on" reviews of the platform in 2026, citing steady returns and monthly distributions — claims impossible to reconcile with withdrawals that have been frozen for over a year. For anyone with funds on the platform, the relevant channel is the platform's official recovery communications and the Estonian Financial Supervision Authority's public notices. For everyone else, Reinvest24 has become one of the clearest European case studies in the risks specific to crowdfunding platforms: related-party exposure, regulatory authorisation as a hard requirement rather than a formality, and the fact that platform risk is entirely separate from the property risk investors thought they were taking.
