About EstateGuru.co
EstateGuru is a European real-estate crowdfunding and peer-to-peer lending platform headquartered in Estonia that allows investors to fund secured property-backed loans across multiple countries with low minimum entry thresholds (often from around €50). It connects investors with short- to medium-term loans (such as development, bridge, and business financing) that are typically secured by first-rank mortgages, aiming to offer potential yields historically in the high-single-digit to low-double-digit annual range.
EstateGuru holds an EU crowdfunding service provider licence issued by Estonian and EU authorities, operating under the European Crowdfunding Service Providers Regulation (ECSPR) to provide a regulated framework and cross-border access. The platform offers tools such as Auto-Invest and a secondary market to assist with diversification and portfolio management.
All investments involve risks, including borrower default and property market fluctuations, and capital is illiquid until loan maturity; investors may lose part or all of their funds. EstateGuru’s decade-long footprint and mortgage security approach aim to balance return potential with downside protection, making it suitable for investors seeking real-estate-linked income alongside diversification.

Investing in EstateGuru carries significant risks, including a high default rate of 16.91% and potential project delays. While the platform implements low loan-to-value (LTV) ratios, thorough due diligence, and real estate collateral to mitigate these risks, the high default rate suggests challenges in loan performance. EstateGuru has a write-off rate of 0.01%, indicating some success in recovering funds, but investors should be aware of the substantial default risk when investing.
EstateGuru offers a straightforward investment process. Investors can choose from a range of property-backed loans, each secured by collateral. Loans are classified based on their risk level, and investors can use the auto-invest tool to automate their investments according to predefined criteria. The secondary market allows investors to trade their loans, providing an option for liquidity.
