General Information
How long has Accretiv been around?
Our principals have acquired real estate across the USA for more than two decades. More recently we have been providing an opportunity for investors locally and abroad to invest in a Fund, “AccretivMED Real Estate Fund 1” which currently has a value of $212 million, made up of profitable healthcare buildings across 9 states that have been generating a cash yield of between 5-8% for those investors. “Accretiv Wealthcare Property Fund” was created so all investors can participate in commercial real estate investments without the same risks and challenges of investing in a single building or owning investment property yourself.
Is there a referral program?
What is the company's mission?
What makes Accretiv worthy?
Where are you based?
Where does the name Accretiv come from?
By definition, Accretiv means “gradual or incremental growth” and that is what we love most about commercial real estate…slow and steady. That’s why we created the “Accretiv Wealthcare Property Fund”, and why we chose the healthcare sector.
Investing and Transactions
Can anyone invest in Accretiv?
Yes! Anyone over 18 with a Social Security number, a permanent address, and a U.S. bank account can invest in the Accretiv Wealthcare Property Fund. You don’t need to be an accredited investor to get started.
Can I transfer my investment to someone else?
Transferring your investment subject to regulatory restrictions. As a Regulation A (Reg A) offering, these securities are generally restricted and cannot be freely transferred or resold without meeting SEC conditions, such as holding periods and disclosure requirements. Additional rules under FINRA oversight may also apply.
For specific transfer eligibility and requirements, please refer to the fund’s offering documents or contact Accretiv’s support team at support@accretivusa.com.
Does the Wealthcare Property Fund rely on crowd funding?
Wealthcare Property Fund is a regulation A Tier 2 offering and is categorized as such by FINRA and the SEC. While they appear similar, crowd funding initiatives are required to be governed by Regulation CF, specific to crowd funding activities, Regulation CF is limited to a maximum raise of $5 million while Regulation A provides for an annual fund raise of $75 million.
How does Accretiv make money?
Accretiv’s goal is to generate returns by investing in “Bricks and Mortar” in the healthcare real estate sector, focusing on building a diversified portfolio of profitable medical properties. We aim to consolidate a number of the assets into a portfolio and sell them after 4 to 7 years to provide a partial or full exit or sale of the buildings.
How easy is the process to start investing with Accretiv?
How long is my investment commitment?
Our minimum holding period is 4 years. Should this portfolio appreciate in value, investors who sell out too quickly will not see the compound growth effect. However, we understand that emergencies and financial hardships sometimes arise, and investors may need access to their funds. Therefore, investors can request to redeem their investment anytime based on the rules of this Offering. Redemptions will be limited to 5% of the aggregate outstanding number and value of the issued Preferred Shares, and a fee of 5% will be charged for early withdrawal.
How many shares can I buy?
We currently do not impose any restriction, but it is important to note that the SEC only allows entities to qualify $75 million worth of Regulation A+ securities per rolling 12-month period. Your accreditation status may impact your personal limit as an investor, and also understand that as an unaccredited investor, you are limited to invest only up to 10% of your annual income, or 10% of your net wealth. We recommend that you read the offering documents. It is our mission to make investing in commercial real estate as easy as possible, regardless of your financial status.
I want to invest a higher amount; will you offer us a higher return?
If you are an accredited investor, and interested in healthcare real estate, and have more than $50,000 that you would like to invest, we would love to share some of our other opportunities, contact support@accretiv.co.
Is Accretiv listed on a stock exchange?
No, Accretiv is not listed on a public stock exchange. Our Wealthcare Property Fund is an alternative investment, meaning you are purchasing shares in the fund itself, rather than trading on an exchange. This structure allows investors to access private market opportunities in healthcare real estate.
The offering documents say that you can invest in other related products?
We are obsessed with medical commercial real estate. BUT the current market environment is changing fast and is exposing excellent opportunities to acquire other commercial real estate at significantly discounted prices or well below market value. Our principles are well positioned through our network to take advantage of these opportunities in the event that they become available to us.
What is my money invested in?
Your investment is primarily allocated to medical commercial real estate, along with other assets, as outlined in our offering circular. All investments are made in accordance with the fund’s strategy and regulatory guidelines. Investors are encouraged to review the offering circular for more details.
What is the investment limit for non-accredited investors under Reg A?
Where are my funds held, and when are they released?
Your funds are initially held by our payment gateway, Stripe. The funds will only be released to the company once our broker-dealer, Dalmore, has authorized the transaction in compliance with regulatory requirements. This ensures that all investments are properly processed and meet the necessary financial and legal standards.
Where do the shares reside?
Once purchased, the shares are issued in a digital form and a record is kept on the company’s capital table. You can see your issued shares on your dashboard on the Accretiv platform.
Where does Accretiv invest the capital?
We specialize in healthcare real estate, focusing on fast-growing cities and states, primarily in the southern U.S., often referred to as the “Sun Belt”.
Who is your broker-dealer partner?
Our broker-dealer partner is Dalmore Group, one of the largest and most experienced broker-dealers in the U.S. They provide regulatory compliance, transaction processing, and investor support to ensure a secure and seamless investment experience.
Why is your investment only $100?
We believe that everybody should have the opportunity to invest in commercial real estate, usually only accessible to High-Net-Worth investors, family offices and institutions. We have made it accessible from as little as $100 so that everyone can start their investment journey. We are confident that we can prove that we are a reliable investment destination over time, and you will enjoy being part of our community.
Investing as an entity/IRA/Trust
Can I invest with my spouse or someone else through Accretiv?
Yes! Accretiv allows you to invest jointly with your spouse or anyone of your choice, as long as they meet the necessary legal requirements. Under U.S. investment regulations (SEC and FINRA guidelines), joint investments must be made with individuals who are:
- At least 18 years old
- U.S. citizens or legal residents
You can set up a joint entity on your Accretiv profile, providing flexibility and shared management of your investment. If you need assistance setting up a joint entity, our team is happy to guide you through the process. We are here to help you every step of the way, look for Dr Yield on our chat on the webpage, or view contact us to reach one of our Investor Relations team directly.
For a joint account, is the net worth of both parties considered?
Yes, when investing through a joint account, the combined net worth and income of both parties are taken into account. This means that your “combined remuneration” is considered when determining investment eligibility and limits under Regulation A guidelines.
Both parties must meet the necessary investment criteria and agree to the terms outlined in the offering documents.
What is a 1031 and is it applicable to my Accretiv Investment?
A 1031 exchange is a provision in the U.S. tax code (Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code) that allows real estate investors to defer capital gains taxes when selling an investment property, as long as the proceeds are reinvested into a like-kind property of equal or greater value. This strategy helps investors grow their portfolios without an immediate tax burden.
However, Accretiv’s investment offerings do not currently qualify for 1031 exchanges, as they are structured under Regulation A, and typically involve fractional ownership in real estate rather than direct property ownership. For investors looking for tax-efficient real estate investment options, Accretiv may offer alternative benefits, such as passive income potential and accessibility to institutional-grade assets. Always consult your tax professional to determine the best strategy for your investment goals.
What is the benefit of investing using my IRA?
The advantage of using an IRA, or Roth IRA, is that the income can grow tax-deferred (Traditional IRA) or tax-free (Roth IRA) until you withdraw it, provided you follow the IRS rules. We can help you set up a self-directed IRA if you email support@accretivusa.com.
What is the minimum investment amount for a company, and is it based on a percentage of annual income?
The minimum investment amount for a company varies based on the offering terms outlined in the Form 1A offering document. Unlike individual investors, corporate entities are generally not subject to income-based investment limits. However, non-accredited investors may be subject to a maximum investment limit of 10% of their annual income or net worth, whichever is greater, as per Regulation A guidelines. Accredited investors and corporate entities typically do not have such restrictions.
Investment Process
Does Accretiv have a hurdle rate?
Yes, Accretiv’s Preferred Shares have an 8% hurdle rate. This means investors must earn an 8% annual percentage yield (APY) before any additional profits are distributed. The hurdle rate ensures that preferred investors receive their targeted returns before other profit-sharing occurs.
Does this investment come with risk?
While our goal is to invest in commercial medical properties with long term leases in place to mitigate the risk, all alternative investments involve risk. We encourage you to read the risk disclosure in the Offering Documents.
How does investing with Accretiv work?
Through our online platform, investors pool their funds to enable us to acquire and manage healthcare properties. This makes it possible for individuals to buy shares in a pool of commercial real estate, in a niche which we believe to have benefits, from as little as $100, creating the potential for investors to derive a contractual preferential return from the net rental paid by the medical tenants, supplemented by any profits from the sale of individual buildings.
How does my Preferred Return compound?
The total value of shares held and the accumulated compound preferred return are added together to calculate your new accumulated balance. The balance compounds daily at the nominal rate of 0,0214% compounded over 360 days to get to the 8%. This value is displayed on your Dashboard and updates.
What does APY mean?
APY stands for Annual Percentage Yield. Our contractual preferential return is 8% APY which, means at the end of year 1, the value of your investment is projected to grow at 8%.
What does Preferred Stock mean?
This means that you are investing in Preferred Shares where you stand “first in line” before any other Accretiv shareholders to earn the 8% APY. (APY stands for Annual Percentage Yield – the return that we aim to generate for you over the full year). Hence the term “Preferred”.
What due diligence does your platform perform when acquiring new buildings or investments?
Our team of executives have been learned through many years of exposure to this specific niche of commercial real estate. We conduct thorough due diligence in a process that we have put together over the years of learning from best practices and applying this knowledge to due process.
Why does my return not add up to 8% when I calculate on the platform?
Pref shareholders are projected to earn 8% APY per year (Annual Percentage Yield).
This means we calculate this using a daily nominal rate of 0,0214% compounded over 360 days to get to the 8%.
Example: If you invest $10,000 using the above rate and compounding it daily, then after 12 months, the contractual preferred return is therefore $10,800.
Investment Strategies
How does investing in Accretiv compare to investing in the S&P 500?
The S&P 500 represents publicly traded stocks in top American companies and has historically averaged a 10.5% return over the past 50 years. Accretiv offers an alternative investment in healthcare real estate, an asset class that operates independently of daily stock market fluctuations. Some investors seek diversification by allocating capital across multiple asset types, including real estate, to balance risk and create potential exposure to different market dynamics.
I already own stocks and ETFs. Why should I invest in Accretiv's Wealthcare Property Fund?
Congratulations on starting your investment journey! Accretiv’s Wealthcare Property Fund offers an alternative to equities and ETFs, and in terms of diversifying, it provides an alternative investment that does not fluctuate with the ups and downs of the stock market.
Why focus on healthcare real estate?
The management team has over 20 years combined experience investing in healthcare real estate in the USA.
We believe that properties like ambulatory surgical centers, outpatient facilities and medical office buildings offer a compelling opportunity to invest into real estate that often has long leases. As a result it may provide stable and long-term rental income and value growth, whilst simultaneously supporting and meeting the growing demand for healthcare nationwide.
Why would you sell the properties as a portfolio?
Selling a portfolio is expected to attract a strong pool of buyers looking for diversification and convenience, without the heavy lifting required to source, underwrite, acquire and assemble a portfolio. This hypothesis assumes that the large institutional investors, REITS and Funds interested in the medical sector will pay a premium over smaller investors who are normally the buyers of individual buildings.
Legal and Regulatory
Do I need to be an accredited investor?
No, our Regulation A tier 2 (Reg A) offering allows all investors to participate, subject to specific investment limits. Accredited investors are not restricted to the 10% rule and can invest larger amounts.
In which countries is Accretiv's Wealthcare Property Fund available?
Currently, you need a Social Security number and a U.S. bank account and be over the age of 18 to invest. If you’re based offshore and have an interest in investing with us, please contact us at support@accretivusa.com, or call +1 844 9999 188.
Is Accretiv a REIT?
Accretiv Wealthcare Property Fund is not a REIT, but rather a Tier 2 Regulation A investment vehicle created to grow a portfolio of real estate assets that we plan to ultimately sell for capital profit. Accretiv offers you an opportunity to compound your returns over time until you withdraw the accumulated value.
REITs are designed and required to distribute 90% of their profit to shareholders on an annual basis. REITS are often listed and shares traded on an exchange, providing you with the ability to easily buy and sell your investment equity, but with the risk of fluctuations in the market impacting the value of your capital.
Is Accretiv regulated?
Accretiv operates under strict U.S. regulations, including oversight by our broker-dealer partner, Dalmore, which is registered with FINRA and the SEC.
While our leadership team has a diverse global background, Accretiv ensures full compliance with U.S. investment laws, providing investors with a secure and transparent experience. Our executives bring decades of expertise in real estate, finance, and investment management, ensuring your investment is in capable hands.
What is Regulation A (Reg A), and how does it apply to Accretiv?
Regulation A (Reg A) is a U.S. securities exemption that allows companies to raise capital from the public without going through the full IPO process. It enables both accredited and non-accredited investors to invest in private companies, typically with fewer restrictions than traditional public offerings.
Accretiv’s Wealthcare Property Fund operates under a Reg A Tier 2 offering, which means we can raise up to $75 million annually.”
What regulations apply to Reg A tier 2 offerings?
Regulation A of the Securities Act of 1933 governs Reg A offerings, including specific disclosure and compliance requirements. More information can be found here.
Why Consider a Regulation A Offering?
A Regulation A offering — sometimes referred to as a “mini IPO” — is a type of exempt offering that permits a company to offer and sell securities to the public through a process that is similar to, but less extensive than, a registered offering.
Payment Methods
Do you charge fees?
What are Stripe and Plaid, and how do they work?
Stripe and Plaid are secure payment processing platforms used to facilitate seamless and reliable transactions.
- Stripe is a trusted payment processor that enables secure transfers of funds, including investment deposits and withdrawals.
- Plaid acts as a secure financial data network, allowing investors to safely connect their bank accounts for verification and transactions.
Both platforms are widely used in the financial industry and comply with strict security and regulatory standards to protect investor data and transactions.
Platform and Support
Does your platform accommodate individuals with disabilities or special needs?
Yes, we are committed to accessibility and inclusivity for all users.

Product
How does it work?
We are continuously working to simplify investing, allowing you to start your investment journey with as little as $100 in just a few minutes. We are specialists in medical commercial real estate so your funds are combined with other funds from our community and used together to acquire this very specific category of commercial real estate, previously only accessible to institutions or the super wealthy. Once you make your first investment, you can log into your dashboard at any time to track the impact of the contractual 8% return as it compounds over time. It’s also easy to add to your investment each month, so you can ‘set it and forget it’.
Funds can be accessed after 48 months, and we choose to compound returns over time, so there are no distributions during this period.
We’re here to assist you every step of the way — look for the Dr. Yield on our website chat in the bottom right-hand corner or visit our contact us page to connect with our Investor Relations team directly.
What does Accretiv do?
Accretiv provides everyday investors with access to shares in the healthcare real estate sector, an asset class traditionally reserved for institutions and wealthy individuals. Through our online platform, individuals can invest alongside other investors with as little as $100. Our goal is to then invest these pooled funds to acquire high-quality medical real estate buildings and aligned opportunities.
What is the Accretiv offering?
Accretiv is an offering by the company for all investors regardless of financial means to invest with the purpose of building your wealth over time, for as little as $100 initial investment. Our Team is passionate about commercial real estate as an investment category, especially in the niche of Healthcare. The Offering is made in terms of a Tier 2 Regulation A exemption and the Offering Documents can be assessed here.
Returns and Payouts
Can I withdraw only my returns?
After the 48-month period, you can withdraw all or any portion, subject to some restrictions in our Offering Document. To activate a withdrawal, simply go to your Dashboard, and look for the Withdraw button.
How do I withdraw my investment early, and where will my funds be deposited?
If you need to withdraw your investment before the 48-month maturity period, a 5% early withdrawal fee will apply. Withdrawals are subject to the terms outlined in your investment agreement, and certain restrictions or processing times may apply. Funds will be deposited into the same bank account used for your initial investment, as verified through Stripe or Plaid. Processing times may vary based on banking regulations and platform policies. Please review your agreement or contact Investor Relations for more details.
How is my investment paid out, and where will my funds be deposited?
Once your investment reaches its maturity date, you can select to make a withdrawal and any returns will be automatically deposited into the same bank account used for your initial investment, as verified through Stripe or Plaid.
Will the return change in a recession?
There has been a history of studies that argue that real estate investment is recession-resilient. Although there is no guarantee, our investment strategy is based on the reliance on generating income from long-term leases with credible healthcare providers and tenants. We, therefore, seek to invest in bricks-and-mortar in this sector where there are long-term leases with tenants that historically have a predictable income, and where there is fixed long-term debt (mortgage) upon acquisition. This means that if tenants continue to pay rent in a recession, the income and expenses are typically not impacted or aligned to market sentiment or dynamics.
Round-ups and Recurring Investments
What are Recurring investments?
Our ‘Monthly Auto Investments’ feature is just one of many ways we can help you practice good financial health. By scheduling recurring investments, with as little as $100 monthly, you can watch your capital accumulate over time.
If you are investing for the first time, you will reach a screen that gives you the option of selecting ‘Yes! I want to put aside a small investment each month’.
If you would like to add to your existing investment, log onto your Dashboard and click on the ‘Auto Invest’ button on the left-side navigation menu.
Remember, we are here to help you every step of the way, look for Dr Yield on our chat in the bottom right-hand corner of the webpage, or view our contact us page to reach one of our Investor Relations team directly.

Security
Is my Accretiv account FDIC insured?
Who has access to my banking details and how do I know it is protected?
We take data security extremely seriously, and we never see or have any access to your online banking credentials. We rely on our payment partners Plaid and Stripe to secure your bank data and manage payments. We only share tokens to confirm the status of the payment. Both companies have the highest level of encryption, and authentication and follow strict industry guidelines.
Will my data be shared?
Accretiv is committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information. Our Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our website. The Privacy Policy can be found here.
Tax
How do I account for this when I complete my tax return?
Most tax software platforms provide guidance on where to report the income, or your tax advisor can advise you on this.
Is income from a 1099 treated as income at your marginal rate?
1099 Income can be taxed at lower levels than ordinary income, but please consult your tax advisor, as we cannot provide tax advice.
Is there Federal and State tax on this investment?
Federal tax is defined by the government. At a state level, it is defined differently by each state. For example, Florida has zero state tax, whilst other states do not. Again, we cannot, unfortunately, provide any tax advice and suggest you speak to your tax advisor.
What are the tax implications of investing in the Accretiv Wealthcare Fund?
Your preferred returns are accrued and continue to compound, but because you have not received any direct benefit or been paid out, you will not need a 1099 at year-end. When you redeem or cash out your investment, or we make a distribution from any liquidity event (sale of a building, for example), you will be issued a 1099. We cannot, unfortunately, provide any tax advice and suggest you speak to your tax advisor.
What is a 1099?
A 1099 is a form used to report income to taxpayers.
